If you don't mind running the code at 8MHz instead of 16MHz (which obviously also needs a change of crystal), ATmega chips can also be run at 3.3V, removing the need for level converters. That interesting, I run mine with a 16MHz resonator at 3V3 or 5V (depends what I'm doing with them), and they s...

OK, done...

If you don't mind running the code at 8MHz instead of 16MHz (which obviously also needs a change of crystal), ATmega chips can also be run at 3.3V, removing the need for level converters. I did try that, (including stepping up the TTL level to the transmitter's data pin, but it isn't reliable. It's...

I am putting together a Fritzing design which I will then get made up, along with burning some '168 chips with the firmware in, simply because it will look nicer. The hard part for me is that I used a level converter breakout for the I2C connections, and I need to break that down into the relevant ...

I've just received one of these kits and it seems to work well, but I haven't had a chance yet to attach a wire antenna and fully check the range. The system uses a 24bit command code, but you only need to worry about 4 bits if you are writing a program to control the Pi-Mote module. More details, a...

No diagram or code right now, because I don't have access to Fritzing or my other systems at the moment :( However, it's very simple. I had Arduino (ATMega168/328) code which works with a simple 433MHz xmit module by pulsing the data pin. It sends a preamble, then an on or off code specific to the s...

The controller cost me about 10 UKP in materials, (ATMega168, resonator, 433MHz transmitter, connector) and uses I2C for the communication with the Pi. I made it stackable, so it doesn't obscure other GPIO use, and used a simple lighttpd setup and a simple C application (CGI) to allow it to be run ...

Catch 22 with this one

Don't want to supply a Scratch prog to program the codes into the remote sockets as it makes a good programming exercise for young Scratchers but I need a prog myself to program the codes into the remote sockets

I did find the "front page" on the Energenie site a bit confusing at first. The Pi-mote control board can operate four groups of sockets. Any number of sockets can be associated to a group. A socket can be in up to two groups. What this means ...

simplesi

We could do with the "automagical" setting of codes sorting out first so users can just plug a socket in , reset it, run a prog and tell the socket what code to use

Simon

Yeah their code was a little simple, so I asked Amy to rewrite it to make it a little better (then me and Ben fixed her implementation because she had on/off codes the wrong way round!)

I'm using RCSwitch successfully on arduino if that helps. Using Energenie power plugs. Have also got a set of Silvercrest ones from Lidl, but have not tried to capture or tx the code yet.

You can buy radio controlled sockets something like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Energenie-Remote-Control-Sockets-Pack/dp/B004A7XGH8/ I bought a 3 pack + remote from Asda for 5 quid a while ago not sure if they're still selling them now. Apart from that there isn't ...
