Noob Preorder question - Remote triggering

Post by mcentyre »

Hi all,
I've just heard about Arduino this week in response to a problem I'm trying to solve on a project. Basically I want to use it to control a servo. The catch is that I would like to trigger it remotely. I've ready through the tutorials and will be ordering my starter kit this week, but I was wondering how this can be done and what it would take to do it. I've been looking through the parts lists and haven't found anything that looks like it'd work. I'd prefer it to be some kind of RF receiver and not IR as I'd like to have two (80' apart) that are triggered simultaneously.

Thanks for your help and I'm looking forward to diving into working with Arduino...

Sounds like a job for a pair of XBees http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_ ... x&cPath=29
