## Picking a CC1101 Transceiver ## Picking a CC1101 Transceiver
Originally, I bought a cc1101 transceiver with a spring type antenna and could not figure out why it would not consistently receive commands from my remotes. I then went about purchasing several other transceiver modules thinking that all my code is always perfect, so the hardware must be defective. Originally, I bought a cc1101 transceiver with a spring type antenna and could not figure out why it would not consistently receive commands from my remotes. I then went about purchasing several other transceiver modules thinking that all my code is always perfect, so the hardware must be defective.
This hard-headedness led me to the conclusion that the timing algorithm I created to read the radio signal was not quite ready. Since I ordered every type of CC1101 transceiver I could get my hands on, I can report that every one of the CC1101 transceivers I bought work very well. I must have had an extra thumb or two when I built the original timing algorithm. This made it drop part of the hardware sync and subsequently not communicate reliably.

So, when looking for a CC1101 Transceiver get one that doesn't have to be slow-boated from some far off land although I assume they all begin life there anyway. However, now that I have had time using these boards, the D-SUN boards do not seem to receive as well as the E07-M1101D transceivers. Of the three I bought one failed, one was spotty on receive, and the last on had an abysmal range of less than 15 feet.
For the final 3 production prototypes that I built I preferred the E07-M1101D-SMA version over all the others. While you will have a hard time finding it listed that way it is the blue one with the duck antenna or spring antenna. Below is a picture so you might be able to identify this bird in the wild.

### Assembling the Hardware ### Assembling the Hardware
Your first step is to connect your transceiver to your ESP32. I did this with the use of some female to female dupont connectors and ran it on the bench for a while. I didn't even use a breadboard to connect it. I simply connected each end of a 10cm dupont cable to make each of the 8 connections. If you can assemble furniture from a box you are more than qualified for this task. Your first step is to connect your transceiver to your ESP32.

This is a wired ethernet model that allows you to connect via a wired ethernet cable or wifi. However, there are many fewer pins available to connect the transceiver. Below are the suggested pins.
