Thanks everyone for your input so far.
The RX470c-v01 "Superheterodyne" receiver gave a lot less noise than the MX-RM-5V, but both worked.
I attached it to 5V and the signal via a 220 ohm resistor
+-----------------------------+
| RX470C-V01 Receiver |
| |
| GND o---------------------+-------------------+
| | |
| VCC o----[5V from power module] |
| | |
| OUT o----[220Ω]----+------|----> TIP (jack) |
+----------------------+ | |
| |
GND (shared)-------------> SLEEVE (jack)
[3.5mm Audio Jack]
TIP —> Data (via 220Ω)
RING —> (optional, same as tip or NC)
SLEEVE —> GND
Now the question for me is, how do I make sense of the signal
According to this guide
I am looking at a pulse position modulation (ppm) signal. I decoded one of the Buttons signal by hand.
So the signal is:
0000 1100 1111 0001 0001 1000 1110 10111
What do I do now? rtl_433 does not mention opening audio files in the documentation. Do I need to do this by hand for all buttons? Since I am now certain that the receiver works fine, I should be able to make it play nice with the Arduino, no? And what do I do now to send this signal? In case anyone is curious to listen to my remote, I included the on key for your enjoyment.
