Also when you're dealing with char arrays the number in the brackets are the position so you would only get character/digit located on the second position of the array. In the case of 234 that would be 3. <br /><br />Also someone mentioned to me that I might have used too little space in my char array to send four digits (0 to 1023) since they have to end with a null char. So if you want to send a maximum of four digits try using a char array with 5 positions i.e. char msg[5];<br /><br />Try that and tell me how it works. <br />And good luck!<br />Generic Nerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634230781516609525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917542905889928199.post-73104418217332368402013-07-03T17:47:22.612+02:002013-07-03T17:47:22.612+02:00Hey, I tried to implement your code, but I'm g...Hey, I tried to implement your code, but I'm getting some strange results, maybe they'll make sense to you though.<br /><br />I've tested the RF setup, and it successfully transmits a message I choose.

If it's just a single RGB led you don't even need transistors just a couple of resistors between the arduino pins an the cathodes/anodes. Otherwise it's pretty much up to how much current your transistor can handle. A ULN chip is a darlington array and a darlington is basically just a transistor that can handle more current (it's really two transitors in series).<br /><br />I'm no expert on electronics but you should be able to use pretty much all of my circuit and adapt it to use three suitable transistors. I do believe you need to have them all (and the Arduino) connected to the same ground. <br /><br />Let me know if that works for you if not I'll try to help you some more.
