We are developing a 12VDC instrumentation app, and would like to include a 4-way remote control feature with the Simple RF M4 Receiver, 315MHz, momentary type.
Is something like this available? Custom order? What is appropriate?
You have already saved us time and $$$ on other projects. This product is just too much of a temptation to pass up.

Re: 12VDC Powered Simple RF M4 Receiver
The chip itself is rated for 15v, but the receiver boards are rated for up to 10v - most likely due to other components on the board. You could add a regulator to drop the receiver supply voltage to an acceptable level. What are your logic level requirements on the output? Would a 10v signal work? If not, you could add a PN2222 on the output to switch the higher voltage.

Re: 12VDC Powered Simple RF M4 Receiver
The I/O logic voltage range is +12VDC to +24VDC.
We were hoping to avoid an add-on regulator on top of the add-on PCB.
So, a regulator for the input power, and a PN2222 for the 12-24VDC I/O?
Thanks for the help! There are some scientists out there who really don't want leave the comfort of their desk to tune this thing!

Re: 12VDC Powered Simple RF M4 Receiver
With regard to output requirement, we were hoping to run 12VDC at 94mA for several periods of 1-5 minutes over the course of an hour. We are actuating a 12VDC solenoid valve.
We will be running 2 other contacts for switching only. The spec'd voltage output should be fine.
