Well,
It has been a couple of years since I first posted this in Feb. of 2016. Started going through a divorce in March of 2016 and that pretty much ended my fun time. LOL. Anyway, reading some of the recent posts on the forum got me wanting to play with this again. I had my original design all setup in my shop, and the ex flipped out on me and trashed the whole place, dumped all of my parts bins and everything on the floor. I never found all of my original design. Sure wish I would have documented what I had, but I ordered some parts today to get started again. The prototype I had was very, very basic. I modified 2 SSII's for the transmitter and receiver and only had like 3 lines of code for each one, but it was working out to about 125 feet and drawing about 2 mA. I had the receiver checking for input from the transmitter every 10th of a second.
I'm thinking of maybe doing this using a board with an LCD, similar, if not almost exactly like my LCD board for the transmitter mounted in a 1010 case. You would do all of your settings there, so you could set how fast you wanted it to operate, and have the typical settings like time delay between picks, day or night mode etc. The receiver would send the settings to the transmitter, so it could be very small and you would only need to open it up to replace batteries.
What do you guys think about this mount? Wondering if it would be strong enough screwed, and GOOPed, directly into a 1010case? Anyone tried this already?
