true i hadnt thought about the clock difference. but would it be possible to capture the signal on a laptop running 2.56Ghz if i could figure out some way to attach a 433Mhz antenna and read the incoming data?
this was supposed to be an "easy-ish" way to jump back into the world of arduino. whoops.
all i need to figure out is the command codes prior to RF modulation that can then be programed into an arduino based system for later modulation and broadcast. Maybe i should go back to digging through the net and see if i cant find them somewhere.
anyway guys thanks for the insight.
