Folks,

There is a document named "Complete Guide for RF 433MHz Transmitter.pdf" available in the GitHub.

There is a a connection diagram showing the Data pin of the Transmitter connected to the pin 12 of the Arduino Uno.

The Transmitter sketch given in it is as follows:

#include <RH_ASK.h>
#include <SPI.h> // Not actually used but needed to compile

RH_ASK driver;


void setup()
{
 Serial.begin(9600); // Debugging only
 if (!driver.init())
 Serial.println("init failed");
}


void loop()
{
 const char msg = "Hello World!";
 driver.send((uint8_t )msg, strlen(msg));
 driver.waitPacketSent();
 delay(1000);
}

There is no mention of Pin 12 as part of the sketch. I am not sure how the Arduino knows the Transmitter Data input is connected to the Pin 12? Can someone please help?

In RH_ASK.h is:

RH_ASK(uint16_t speed = 2000, uint8_t rxPin = 11, uint8_t txPin = 12, uint8_t pttPin = 10, bool pttInverted = false);

So the argument has a default value specified here. If you don't specify it, it assumes that default.
