Hi all, I am new to this forum and In desperate need of help! I'm currently at university studying product design and part of my design idea has electrical components, unfortunately I am very limited to what I understand electronically so I'm a little stuck. Basically I need to connect two key fobs to a circuit board so they both can be used to power the mother which I have already attached to a battery and a motor. I have attached a photo to help show my attempt so far. If anyone can help with this issue please respond. Any questions let me know. Thanks

Each fob would transmit a digital code. The code tells which button was pushed, and the fob's unique identifier. The identifier is used for security purposes. You don't want all the car key fobs in your neighborhood controlling your device.

This paper illustrates one way to make them secure.

3. What are the benefits of connecting a key fob to a receiver?

Connecting a key fob to a receiver allows you to control certain devices or systems remotely, without having to physically interact with them. This can be convenient and provide added security, as you can lock and unlock doors, turn on lights, or arm an alarm system from a distance.

4. Can I disconnect a key fob from a receiver?

Yes, you can disconnect a key fob from a receiver by following the instructions provided by the manufacturer. This may involve resetting the key fob and receiver or manually unpairing them.

5. What do I do if my key fob is not connecting to the receiver?

If your key fob is not connecting to the receiver, first make sure that they are both turned on and within range of each other. If they are, try resetting both the key fob and receiver and attempting to pair them again. If the issue persists, refer to the troubleshooting section of the manufacturer's instructions or contact their customer support for assistance.
