I've got a couple little things I'm working on, and it'd be really cool to be able to remotely activate them. What I'm looking for is a sample design, or some pointers on building a simple hand-held remote to turn a device on and off. I imagine it should be fairly easy with a couple of off-the-shelf components, but I havn't had much luck finding anything on the 'net. Also, what would you recommend if I wanted to be able to send multiple different commands or data? Any have experience with the rfPic for purposes such as this? matt -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
