So I started hacking apart some stuff I picked up at a local dollar store hoping for some useful parts. I came across a wireless toy that was using this transmitter, and while it seems a small and simple to use transmitter that'd be useful for arduino, I can't figure out who makes it or where I can buy it. Can anyone help? The numbers on the back of the wireless module are:
GN(6 or 8)20
ZPO71018-10(6 or 8)
V1.0
I've uploaded a few pictures here (afraid they aren't very clear, it's a small chip so I took most of the pictures through a helping hands)
why not try put it in the car and hook it up as it was. then attach a volt meter to two pins. Then play around until you get a voltage whilemoving the car up or down with the remote.
If you do not have a receiver for it then it would be easiest to pick up a new transmitter and receiver from a site such as sparkfun... They do a cheap on that is only about $2 each...
If you only want to send simple on/off commands then something cheap like that should be fine but if you want to send more data/at a reasonable speed then you perhaps want to pick up a more expensive tranciever such as the xbee...
