====================
Are coiled antennas more efficient than straight wire antennas?

In this video we test the FS1000 radio transmitter and the XY-MK-5V receiver. We also compare different antenna geometries and test them to check which shape is optimal for my IoT project.

Radio communication is useful when data transmission or control signals need to be sent over long distances because it is wireless. There exist many protocols and ways to go about this. In this video I put together a simple example with the cheap (1,90 Euro) FS1000A transmitter and XY-MK-5V receiver. To function they use a method called ASK – Amplitude Shift Keying. They operate at 433MHz. There are a lot of clones of these modules from what I see, I would suggest experimenting your way to results, and not starting with the highest voltage.
