Which means I’m gonna get to work now, and I’ll resist assembling until I done all the tests XD
So first step: I couldn’t find any FCC ID on the toy, box, or notice (which is necessary for any non standard chip) So conclusion: that’s indeed a standard 2.4 GHz RF chip.
What I’m hoping now is that since the notice mention only single clicks and long clicks (3secs) being transmitted (I think, if I read it right), that means is no specific encoding of the signal, but just a signal of varying length. (And even if there is encoded packets, it wouldn’t matter for what I’m trying to do)
So I don’t need to catch and decode any packet over the RF, just catch if the signal is sent.
So now, I’m looking into which RF module to buy for my arduino (already got the board)
Should take a few weeks to get there, but as soon as it’s here, I’ll do the first tests and update this topic!
This is so exciting! I love how deep you’re going into the RF side of things. It’s going to be really fun to follow your tests and see how the signal decoding works out. Looking forward to your updates once the module arrives.
OMG this is very indepth. I have a basic understanding of what you are saying, but if I got that kit, I would say wow look at that and never think beyond. I make a better nurse and educator than Morse code -industrial city person!
Either way, enjoy!
I have got no idea what you are talking about, maybe I missed a previous post? Anyway it sounds interesting. I look forward to your updates! I really am excited to see these new models built
When they announced the model on the forum here, I commented that it looked cool and asked if it could be plugged into a computer for auto-decoding of morse signals
Rokr said no, but that it was a cool idea and asked if I’d be up to try make it come true, if it was possible, I said I would definitely try and they sent me a kit to do so (they the coolest!!!)
That’s exactly how I’d be about it!! But I can definitely see the appeal for enthusiasts!
