hmm. Perhaps i can just salvage the rf reciever from the dimmer, and see what the logic output pins on that particular board do when it recieves a signal from the remote. If its powered by 5v, mabey it could be as simple as just using that, but i don't understand what ask modulaton is or how it could be applied to dim the buckpuck. Something tells me its not as simple as a ttl 0-5v output between the rxd and ground, but i may be mistaken. I really need to spend more time reading all those power electronic ebooks i downloaded ;).
Heres the rf reciever in question-
Any thoughts as to if this could be somehow used with a buckpuck and its 5v ref, and control pins?
Sorry, couldn't find a datasheet through google, but theres a good deal of info on the alibia link.
If its as simple as connecting the ground pin to the buckpuck's input ground, 5v ref to the vcc (rf unit draws 5ma @5v), and the buckpuck control to the rxd (possibly the buckpuck led ground as well) then that would be fantastic.
