Raspberry Pi Virtual Reality Arcade -- Episode 364

Hi Clem,

Great video, but I can't seem to grasp the connections for each part in the video accurately. 
For example, the listing AM-RX12E-433P -  RF RECEIVER MODULE, 433.92, -110DBM is shown before the video cuts into "Component layout and solder" part but I do not see how it is connected to the Raspberry Pi board (or if I have missed it do let me know) Also, is there a difference in connection from the 5.8GHz transmitter used in the video and the TRANSMITTER 433.92MHZ 3KBPS SIP listed?

Thank you!

Yeah you caught something important.

the rf modules listed are ones availabe at the time that should work for that application, wiring is the same as with the 5,8ghz. Signal ,gnd and power it is that simple. Receiver and sender need to be tuned to the exact same frequency. BUT here is the catch: it is not legal to use these modules in all countries and for some specific applications, the law differs vastly among places and has significantly changed since that video was published (almost two years).
I have used a 5,8Ghz transmitter that I modified to allow for only 20mW of transmitting power and restricted it to the B-band to be legal at my specific location(at that time). the modules listed are ISM band and only allowed for short bursts as someone else nearby could use the same frequency for a garage door  or a weather station. Meanwhile new applications for that spectrum are prohibited in my area.

5,8Ghz also gives you a better trasnission rate but lower reach.

Its not possible to give advice or an rf solution that will work for everybody or is even legal in that persons location so you need to inform yourself about your specific needs.

to my knowledge the specific module I used is no longer available.

But in general: you want:

Analog transmission

An ISM range that is usable without license

maybe tunable frequencys or auto-hopping

good antennas

conenctions are just signla , power, gnd
