If you’re having problem with NewSoftSerial versus SoftwareSerial when using 434 MHz (433.92MHz) – receiver, it’s because the receiver cannot pull down the RX pin on your arduino. The library changes the input pin to be pull-up when non-inversion is used.
Change the library in following manner:
NewSoftSerial.cpp:
void NewSoftSerial::setRX(uint8_t rx)
{
pinMode(rx, INPUT);
/*
if (!_inverse_logic)
digitalWrite(rx, HIGH); // pullup for normal logic!
*/
_receivePin = rx;
_receiveBitMask = digitalPinToBitMask(rx);
uint8_t port = digitalPinToPort(rx);
_receivePortRegister = portInputRegister(port);
}
