About hw

Each power off&on of the transmitter generates a unique id to allow the use of multiple units. The id is used in all transmissions. After powering on a receiver it will pair with the first detected id.

Measurements

Transmitter sends temperature and distance readings every 3 minutes. A red led on the transmitter indicates measurement and transmission. Minimum measured depth is 32cm, maximum (not verified) is around 15m.

433 MHz Code

Code is 72 bits long. I'm using 71 bits (from raising to raising edge).

s - synchronization [0x5F]
i - id of transmitter (changes with each power off&on)
C = checksum - xor of bytes, 1st byte has only 7 bits
