RPCoyle:
I do not need an arduino to send or receive the signal. I should be able to use/program just a microchip and add few components.
I believe I should be able to decide to use arduino to send signal if needed and not use arduino to receive it.This is true, but starting out with the Arduino might be the best bet to get the project off the ground without having to learn a whole lot of stuff about programming and microprocessors you might not care to learn. Then, if you want to, you can just prototype up the bare bones chips to do what you want it to.
Hi RPCoyle,
Thanks, I think I'll do that!
I made a quick search about programming microcontrollers but couldn't find much when it comes to OSX.
Do you have any recommendation?
Or is it better if when the time comes, I move to windows to make this step?
Thanks
Riccardo
