Assembly Guide
The assembly of the radio receiver is quick and easy. In order to interface with the
radio receiver we’ll need to interact with the pins on the board. All of the pins that we
need are accessible from the header holes located along the side of the radio receiver
board. You have a couple of options for interfacing to the board: you can solder wires
directly to these holes or you can solder male or female headers to the holes and then
connect them to a microcontroller using jumper wires. I go for female headers
because then a simple wire can be used to connect the radio receiver to an Arduino
board, and it keeps the radio receiver more usable without wires soldered semi-
permanently to it. So pick your method, and start soldering! If you’ve never soldered
before, check out this tutorial to pick up a new skill. Below are some pictures of how
my radio receiver turned out after soldering on the headers.
Hooking It Up
The method that we are going to use to communicate with the radio receiver requires
that we use five wires to connect an Arduino Mini to the radio receiver. Below is a
table which defines the pin connections that need to be made, and a fritzing diagram
of the connections should also help you get your wires connected properly. If you look
at the back of your radio receiver board you’ll notice that next to each header hole is a
small label. These signal names indicate how each pin is being used by the radio
receiver, and also how they can be used to interact with a microcontroller. For now,
just make sure you match the signal name on the radio receiver board to the correct
Arduino pin number.
