Bat12 0 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hello, so im new to all this programming/development platform stuff. I literally know nothing about it but want to get started. My background is in programming basics(super super basic) in a couple languages. My heaviest knowledge is in electronics maintenance and basic theory. I have a project in mind. Using TI's Chronos watch as a garage door opener. I understand there are three different models of the chronos watch. The one that has been used as a garage door opener previously was the 433mhz model. This watch has been discontinued but i can still buy it off of ebay. The new model which i believe operates in the 933 mhz range is available for sale. So here goes the questions: -Can i use the new model as a garage door opener in conjunction with the RTL-SDR or do i have to buy the 433 MHZ model. -How do i get started in learning how to use this development kit? Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Using the 433MHz version to directly connect with a garage door opener if likely to be far trickier than working with the supplied transceiver - especially if your door opener has anything even slightly secure like rolling codes. The watch is fairly old and has been on sale with TI a few times, so you shouldn't have to pay much for one. I got a 868MHz one years ago, but then never got round to playing around with it.
