Great to hear bennyjo88 looks a nice compact unit. Congratulations!

Would love to see some test results what’s your flickr stream address?

Just want to say thank you to Stephen for the inspiration and idea… This wireless trigger is really my 1st microcontroller project.. and I think I got addicted

Looks like alot of wireless solutions around, and I guess more to come. Basically it has to be cheap and reliable, some of the off the shelf modules are just too expensive. and I guess as this is the ISM bands it may be prone to some form of interference, however this can be worked around to some extent by frequency hopping.

I know the HopeRf modules fit all of my requirements and they have a very low turnaround time from Tx to Rx so will allow frequency hopping. As I’ve been playing around with them for a few months now, I have had time to learn them and so far very impressed, so will be sticking with them for the time being.

In reality if people are going to roll their own then any RF module and MCU of choice as long as as it can handle the sync speeds, 1/100sec is approx 9600bps and 1/500 ~ 38400bps

Listen I have used the wenshing RF Hifrequency Transmitter/Reciver
http://www.wenshing.com.tw/english/rf-list.asp
They are really unexpensive and extremelly small.
I used to send A custom BCD code to controll Stepping Engines.

I would like to participate on this proyect to build a quality and affordable Wireless Trigger.

I’m probably late to the party, but I’m looking for a dumb radio trigger that is more reliable than the poverty wizards and less money than pocket wizards and available this winter. As an engineer, my thought was DIY. However, I’m a Mechanical Engineer, so the electrical thing is magic to me. I did a search in the Digi-Key catalog and came up with these
http://www.linxtechnologies.com/Products/RF-Modules/KH2-Series-RF-Transmitters-and-Receivers-with-Integrated-Encoder-and-Decoder-Chips/

Te transmitter is about $10 and the receiver is $16 in quantities below 10. It looks like a solution that would minimize the engineering and additional parts to get a trigger up and running.

I’m starting to work on it, but I’m looking for someone with CAD capabilities. It should be interesting.
