FM Remote Control Receiver
It is often required to switch electrical appliances from a distance (the garage light, when you’re still in your car for example) without there being a direct line of sight between the transmitter and receiver. This rules out the use of infrared, so we have to use radio signals instead. An ideal solution for this application is provided by transmitter and receiver modules, which operate at a frequency of 433 MHz and are available ready-made.
Gerber file
CAM/CAD data for the PCB referred to in this article is available as a Gerber file. Elektor GREEN and GOLD members can exclusively download these files for free as part of their membership. Gerber files allow a PCB to be produced on an appropriate device available locally, or through an online PCB manufacturing service.
Elektor recommends the Elektor PCB Service service from its business partner Eurocircuits or AISLER as the best services for its own prototypes and volume production.
