โ๏ธ Working Principle:
The APC220 module transmits and receives serial data via RF signals in the 433MHz band. Data from one device (e.g., Arduino or PC) is sent through UART and transmitted wirelessly. The receiving module then converts the RF signal back into serial data for the connected device.
Using the included USB adapter, users can connect the module to a computer for configuration or data communication directly through a serial terminal or Arduino IDE.
