Hi all,
I have recently bought an universal RF remote from ebay for garage door.
http://www.qinuo.net/en/pro_view.asp?ID=133
I would like to know if anyone has interfacing this kind of remote with the arduino? I am trying to read the data from the remote with the receiver sketch from virtualwire library but no data is extracted from the remote.
Thanks
Use PT2272 receiver decoder with RF, easily available on alibaba. I am using Model No.: DL-R02EF (http://www.hkdaylightrf.com) for other purpose, you can easily interface with your remote.
Thanks both of you for the reply.
Hardcore,
Which frequency is your TX on 433.92MHz, 330MHz or 315MHz
-> I am using the 433.92MHz frequency remote
Which FQ is your receiver on......
-> The receiver has the same frequency. I guess the signal is received but the decoding at arduino level is not working.
what is your decoder chip on the receiver
-> The receiver is simply a receiver module. No decoder is available on the receiver module. I was thinking of decoding the received signal directly using the arduino by software.
Is that possible ?
Pravas, thank you for the link of the DL-R02EF. I will get one.
My idea is to get the signal from the universal remote control and process it using the directly the arduino (without standalone decoder). And then depending on the code of the 4 buttons remote, control the different interface of the arduino (switching on leds, activated relays, and so on...)
Do you think that it is possible ? And how can I do it ?
