[ARDUINO]

[Karl W4KRL]

Alex,

 

I beat my head against the wall for a month before I found a simple omission
related to hardware control. But it was a learning experience!

 

Bought a wireless shield before discovering that you have to supply the
transceiver. Not exactly truth in packaging. There are very low cost serial
to Bluetooth transceivers available. I have a couple but haven't tried them
yet.

 

Good luck with the project. Send me some text and/or photos and I will post
it to the AMRAD website. A remote control antenna tuner sounds like a
perfect application for the Arduino UNO.

I think I ordered the motor control board and if I didn't I will.   I tried
to order the Ethernet board on Ebay, but ran into difficulties ordering it.
I hope the order didn't go through as when I looked at the specs it was for
the big Arduino and I don't think it is compatible with the Uno.  

    I'm thinking that it might be interesting to remote control an  antenna
tuner.  I of course have to make a lot of mistakes to get there, but I hope
to enjoy the process.   It seems your project looks at the antenna and asks
"how are you doing".  My project depends on knowing how the antenna is doing
and providing a cure.  I would assume these devices can swarm?
