interfacing pic to rf module
Hey, Im in the midst of a project, where my PIC (16f690) has been connected to the PC using the rs232 port. Its constantly sending up information.
I dont know why i didnt think of this earlier, but now i need to include a RF module to the PIC too. I have the pins to spare, but the TX and RX pins of the PIC are being used for the rs232 connection.
Not only do I need to connect a RF transmitter, but i also need a RF receiver attached as well. These are the modules I bought. Thats just the receiver, but i got the corresponding transmitter too.

Please please please someone tell me that it is possible to use the other IO pins to connect them to the PIC. I know how they all connect up schematic wise (https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/RF/KLP_Walkthrough.pdf), but am having problems writing up some sort of simple code. Ive written in a couple of forums and everyone keeps saying use manchester coding and what not.
Anyone have any ideas? Is it possible to include the RF TX & RX to the same PIC?
Thanks heaps
