WIRELESS LED CONTROL

Projects General Guidance
1

I am currently working on a project where I want to turn a couple LEDs on/off by voice control. The only thing is that I want to have the communication between the LEDs and the Arduino to be wireless. Is it possible to do so? If yes, how can I do it?

Thank you in advance for the help.

Sincerely,

Tiago Rodrigues

Voice recognition module, I recommend the EasyVR. If you can't find that, try eBay, mouser or digikey.

For WiFi control take a look at

  1. The WiFI card,

  2. The Wireless/SD card with a WIFLY module (or an XBee),

  3. The XBee shield with a WIFLY module (or an XBee).

Xbee's have greater range than WiFi but you need a second XBee fitted to your PC.

I would say voice recognition shield mounted to arduino base station that send RF commands to another Mini Arduino to control the led or light.
Also you can use simple micro controller board connected to RF receiver if you want it cheaper and don't wanna use another Arduino.

Thank you for your replies.

Would I have to have the Xbee receiving unit plugged into a computer for power? I needed something (for the receiving unit) that doesn't require a computer connection. Would that be possible?
