ter module is the TXLC-434 transmitter, available from Reynolds
Electronics at: www.rentron.com. The modules are based around
Linx Technologies’ (www.linxtechnologies.com) LC series transmit-
ter modules, as discussed earlier. The transmitter module pinout
diagram is shown in Figure 6.48. The only external part needed for
the module to function is a 430 resistor that is connected from the
VADJ line to ground for 5-volt operation. If the resistor is not includ-
ed, then the device will operate at 3 volts. Using the module to
transmit information to the receiver will be discussed when pro-
gramming is covered.
