pic of the setup
this is a 2 channel but i only used a 2 channel. it runs of 12 volts and i had 12 volts running in the box beacuse thats what the video cams run on as well.
Take a look at this thing i just started playing with today

on my other arduino i was playing around with this and what i got so far is when i press the button on the remote once it turns an led on and when i hit it again it gos off. not the chip giving power on its own will work this same way (once for on once for off) but i just wanted to see if the arduino would read it. because i one day would like to run my cams with NO POTS AT ALL and just one one wireless remote. i want to press a button and have it pan slowly one want and so on.
anyways i did not show this in the video but the remote to the cam worked all the way across the street. not to bad at all. if theres anything you have seen that you would like a video made or just more info please let me know.
