Building a Universal RF Remote - Questions

Sydney-Floyd's picture

UPDATE: Attached (and blurrily pictured below) is my schematic that i think will work for this remote. Yes I drew it in paint, Yes it took too long:

*The "To Breadboard" leads are included so that the remote may also serve as a portable power supply.

Arduino + a doorbell's wireless modules

amando96's picture

hello, hope you had a merry christmas, and will have a happy new year!

I found a wireless doorbell, and i would like to know it it would be possible to attach the button of the doorbell, to the TX pin on the arduino, and the receiver to the RX pin, sorta like this:

I think i would then be able to serial print what ever i want, and serial read it with the other arduino. say controll severall motors, even if it just has one button, would this be possible?

 "Wiieasy Rider" Nunchuck /Arduino hack controlling Tamiya Off-Road Car

Update :- Field Testing in the "Car Park"

                  >>> Car Park Video of it in Action at end of Blog <<<

TamiyaWiiNunchuckmugshot.jpg

Goal:- Hack a Tamiya Off-Road RC car - and control it with Wii-Nunchuck controller

Why:- Its cheap and better and more fun way to control RC cars/boats & maybe planes

Arduino RF remote LCD display of Temparature & Humidity

Gareth's picture

Aim of Project :- Transmit via RF remote values of Temparature & Humidity to a LCD display.

Why:- because i have always dreaded sending floating point values to a LCD display and

wanted to carve it in stone for other projects i have lined up.

& Why :- RF Links are just so cool 8-P        500ft range is not to be sneezed at......

No need for oscilloscope, nut cracked, bright debugging ahead!

fritsl's picture

YES!

I do not have an oscilloscope, and I "always" wanted one. "So I could debug & understand & see what was going on".

Yesterday I got so frustrated that my cheap RF still was not 100% rock solid - even though I had made all sorts of initializing strings.

i got so desperate that I decided to buy a used oscilloscope. While checking out what was on sale in my area, I got the idea that perhaps I could make one myself..

That got me to look into .. "perhaps someone out there made a SW oscilloscope - how hard could that be?

This tiny Xbee 900 rf module is supposed to have a range of 15 miles. We all know that these specs are always best case scenarios that are not attainable in the … Read more

RC RF directional beacon

rik's picture

I am still wondering if it is possible to create a simple, cheap, fairly accurate, directional beacon for outdoor use. And I keep thinking I should try to re-purpose an RC transmitter. So here it goes:

Would you deem it possible to create a directional antenna for an RC transmitter?

Would this antenna be able to rotate? Fully continous, or just 360 CW followed by 360 CCW?

Which RC system would you consider? There are so many frequencies in use. And modulation types.

Simple tracking project

I have been thinking about this, any ideas? i mean like what components i could use, using radio frequency not rfid or neither gps. could really appreciate help.

 

Baiscally it should have a screen where i could track my robot within 100m? try to keep it cheap i guess 

 

 

 

 

update

 

 

 

It is supposed to be something like a phone where it has a screen and i can see the object like a radar. it would also make me able to flash an led at the other end of the wireless device p
