Hi Majenko

I wrote a state machine code that worked, I think, but I had trouble getting my head around the time code at the base, what I have so far is;

/*
  
 #include <RCSwitch.h>

RCSwitch mySwitch = RCSwitch();

void setup() {
  // initialize serial communication:
     Serial.begin(9600);
     mySwitch.enableReceive(0);  // Receiver on inerrupt 0 => that is pin #2
   // initialize the pins:
     for (int Pins = 2; Pins 4; thisPin++) {
     pinMode(Pins, OUTPUT);
      } 
}

void loop() {
  if (mySwitch.available()) {
    
    unsigned long value = mySwitch.getReceivedValue();


    switch (getReceivedValue()) {
    case 7419184:
      digitalWrite(Pins, HIGH);
      Serial.print("Mosfet ON - Value: ");  // This and the next three lines are for debug and testing purposes
      Serial.print(mySwitch.getReceivedValue() );
      Serial.println(""); 
      break;
    case 7419139:    
      digitalWrite(Pins, LOW);
      Serial.print("Mosfet OFF - Value: ");  // This and the next two lines are for debug and testing purposes
      Serial.print(mySwitch.getReceivedValue() );
      Serial.println("");
      break;
    default:
      Serial.print("Received Other Value: "); // This and the next two lines are for debug and testing purposes
      Serial.print(mySwitch.getReceivedValue() );
      Serial.println("");
      }
    } 
  }
}

I think it was getting late so I filed it in the THB (too hard basket) for now, I think the #Define states at the top were confusing me so i was trying to work around them(without them), but then when I got to the time code at the base I totally lost track of what did what as I wasn't using the states, each state needs to apply to two pins, so i wasnt sure how to do that either. , i forget if it worked at all now, once I have the parts back I will do some more testing.

And the parts I need for testing are with a friend who is making a mockup of a custom shield to mount the three modules I'm using (RX, VReg, Mosfet)
