Hi everyone,
I'm extremely extremely new to RF devices, so I thought before I bought two components on Amazon I'd check here to see if they are what I need to accomplish my goal.
What I want to do for starters is, I have the Parallax Board of Education, and I want to be able to turn LEDs on and off with a RF Controller.
So I searched amazon, and was wondering would this controller do the trick:
Amazon.com: Transmitter: (ZX10) 5-Channel FM 72 MHz: 3D2: T-28: Toys & Games
Then I know I also need a receiver, and amazon stated that, people that bought that controller bought this:
Amazon.com: 6-Channel Micro Receiver FM 72MHZ, Neg Shift: BCP: Toys & Games
After I'm comfortable turning the LEDs on and off wirelessly, I want to be able to wirelessly drive my Boe Bot that I build, so I only see myself needing "4" controls. Forward/Backwards/Left/Right, but I just need to make sure these are the only components I need in order to make that happened. I also don't want to spend a lot of money to make it happen
So in all, I'm just trying to learn the basics first, and want to start with some simple devices.
Thanks!
