Hi, I am sort of new with this arduino thing, I understand the basic concept but have never done a full project myself other than a few tutorials here and there to understand the basics of turning leds and stuff.
Right now I got assigned my first little project at work, i need to be able to control a microcontroller with an RF signal to be able to turn it off remotely.
Microcontroller already has is connected to a arduino that is always energized and sends 12v signal through a toggle switch to go into "hibernation mode", the toggle switch is just a continuous 12v signal that flickers every time you toggle the switch between 0 and 12v making it get the signal to turn off.
So my plan is to just connect a relay or something between the 12v toggle switch line and control it with a arduino to mimic the toggle switch being triggered but you would have to go between relay channels 6 times to achive the same result and i think in theory it would work as simple solution but i was wondering if it is possible to just mimic the 3 pulses just directly from the arduino so when i press the controller to control the relay it will just do those 6 changes between states instead. This is my first post and i dont know if its too long or not but i wanted to be as detailed as i can with information to see how you guys can help. Thanks in advance.
I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category @mazha .
In the future, please take some time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your topic. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.
This is an important part of responsible forum usage, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. The guide contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
You have lots of words, but no mention of your prime directive. What distance must be RF signal go? Does the RF signal need similar feedback to tell the sender of the signal that it was read and the microcontroller was turned off? How will you know the current status of that microcontroller?
Show a circuit diagram ( not fritzing) mark all connections and source of power along with voltages.....and code in code brackets.
What does this mean?
