DIY ROBOREMOTE REMOTE

#129 Building a DIY Robo remote

My prototype using a LAN cable breakout enclosure made it small and nifty.

A few years ago while using many wireless systems on a large remote property I had the problem of testing the signals in varies areas before installing my hardware like: Roboguards or my own custom devices that have the ability to communicate with the RoboGuard ecosystem.

Front view of the PCB. It fits perfectly into an ABS enclosure.

So I decided to create a dedicated remote that uses the ASK protocol used with these devices. This makes my life so much easier because it allows me to test multiple requirements at once.

I’m able to test:

  • Signal strength in the area
  • 433 modules I want to use
  • Antennas I want to use
  • The transmission logic I want to use
  • Different ASK protocols

All this with a wireless, rechargeable and easily customizable package. At the moment this is not a commercial product however I have many other devices that work with the Roboguard ecosystem that have commercial applications.
