Hi,
how to test the HT12E/HT12D ICs ; and Rx/Tx 433 MHz RF Module.
as i have constructed one ckt with this IC's and RF Module pl help

hi
thanks
the following are the ckt. of the project ie. Wireless Water Level Indicator
which I have constructed on the S/L bread board the photo of the same is here25012012371.jpg

Hello,

RF and a breadboard are a bad combination.
The capacitance of the connection strips inside the breadboard will destroy the RF performance.

In general, yes.

On the other hand, all RF circuitry is already on the transmitter module. The breadboard shouln't be the problem, unless something is wired the wrong way.

@mkbutan

Looking at your transmitter circuit from post #14, did you check the voltage levels at the digital (!) inputs of the encoder?

What TX module is this again? Is there no enable pin or similar?

What exactly is the circuit not doing?

sir,
as Mr.bertus said i have dis assembled the ckt.
but as u can see the ckt. it was not transmitting the data to the μcontroller board i.e.- P89V51RD2 and was not displaying anything on the LCD.
can u guide me its my first project with RF and μcontroller
thanks

Did you check if the data at the outputs of the HT12D are the same as at the inputs of the HT12E?

You have to separate the circuit into groups.

First check if the input signals to the encoder are ok. Then check the signal to the transmitter module. Assuming that the transmitter/receiver modules are working (something you would need some more sophisticated instruments to to check) then check the signal out of the receiver module. Then the data out of the decoder.

Troubleshooting is done in steps and dividing a circuit in to smaller subcircuits, each of them needs to be checked individually.

Do you have an oscillsocope?
