Week 13 - APC220 Radio Communication Module

Thursday, 1 November 2012

As salam..

Week 13 already..
Now, I will focus on the
APC220 Radio Communication Module.

What is APC220 ?

The APC220 radio module provides a simple and
economic solution to wireless data communications.
The employment of an embedded high speed
microprocessor and high performance IC creates a
transparent UART/TTL interface and eliminates any
need for packetizing (form data into packets)
and data encoding.

Features

  • Transmit distance up to 1000m @ 9600bps 
  • 256 bytes data buffer
  • High sensitivity (-112dbbm @ 9600 bps)
  • GFSK modulation
  • UART/TTL interface
  • Size: 37x17x6.5mm
I had done by used this module to my 
project. Here are the results:

Heart Rate is displayed in LCD by connecting with the APC220

The measurement heart rate is displayed in serial monitor
Both of the pictures, show the measurement of
heart rate. The data is running at the same time.
How the laptop can received the data is through 
the APC220 that is plugged at the laptop like 
show in the picture below: 

APC220 plugged in to laptop

I'm also tried this transmission of data by the 
distance 1000m. It's successful... :)
