These Devantech modules make up a very easy to use radio telemetry set for your I2C devices. The main module (RF04) is powered from the USB bus, so it needs no external power supply or batteries. Just plug it into your PC and it will appear as a COM port. The RF04 module set can be used by anyone who can program a PC to use the COM ports. Don't forget the USB cable we sell them too.
