Hey everyone,
I've searched around the internet for what I'm trying to do and I'm hoping someone here can help me. What I'm trying to design is a wireless switch. Close a switch at point A and that causes a switch at point B to close - this being used as a wireless flash trigger for a camera.
Right now I'm using the **broken link removed**, along with these RF modules I'm using their **broken link removed**. This works, but I've found that these encoders create too much delay. I know it's the encoders and not the radio link because I've tested them by connecting them with a wire and I get too much delay.
So I'm wondering if anyone knows of an even simpler encoder. These are pretty simple, no addressing just four data inputs and then the serial data output.
Or, from searching on this forum I'm wondering if I could use something like a tone decoder? A tone generator connected to the TX module and then a tone decoder on the RX module to detect just that tone. Would that work? Would that be simpler? If that would, does anyone have a suggestion on a really simple/easy tone decoder/generator that I could use.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
