... LPRS Data Sheet Easy -Radio ER400TS Transmitter, ER400RS Receiver & ER400TRS Transceiver The host should check before sending data that the ‘Busy’ line is not high, as this would indicate that the transceiver is either transmitting or receiving data over the radio link. It should also pull the ‘Host Ready’ line low and check that no data appears on the Serial Data Output line. Detailed operation of interfacing, handshaking (including timing) is described in the ‘ ...
