    Default Software RS232 and wireless modules

    I have a PIC that implements software rs232 and all is fine with a wired connection.

    I can talk to another PIC or the serial input on my PC....never a problem.

    Yet, I've tried to get a wireless connection to work and can't. (only using 1200 baud).

    The latest effort are a couple of xstream oem modules that just need ground, +5v and data and are supposed to work right out of the box.

    Is there something I'm missing? Is there a problem with software rs232 compared to hardware when using these?

    Not sure about this, but looking at the data sheet seems like they are preset to work with
    9.6 or 19.2 Kbps.

    And

    What do you have for an antenna?

    I googled xstream oem modules and found some very poor documentation.

    After scrolling through the first link that Joe found...

    These things look to be set up before use?
