Pinout for 433 Receiver

Hi,

I'm trying to setup my RFLink functionality.

I'm using a cheap FS1000A as a transmitter and I bought a superheterodyne module named RXB12 as a receiver.

Because it wasn't listed I choose the pinout of Qiachip WL101 which looked quite the same as a print.

However I see:

"Pin 1 = Antenna
Pin 2 = Ground
Pin 3 = VCC (~3-5 volts)
Pin 4 = MEGA rx1/Pin 19 (RX Data)
Pin 5 = MEGA rx1/Pin 19 (RX Data)
Pin 6 = Ground"

Two times Pin 19 while other receiver boards go on 16 and 19. Is this a typing error or something? Or do they both need to go to the same pin?

These modules have a double data pin..
Note that RXB12 might not work with the current versions.. we have a solution coming up.

I already tried with one pin in 16 and one in 19. And change this around. This didn't work. However I decided to unplug randomly one of the two data pins and have only one cable to pin 19. Now it's working perfectly :-). Will adding the other one to 19 also (will need to split the cable then) give any further benefits?

Okay, I will test later with the other pin connected instead of the current one. But now it works perfectly.

Thanks for making this firmware.

Thanks,
No need to test the other pin, if it works keep it working.. :)
