Creating a remote starter for servo motor

AI Thread Summary
To create a remote starter for a servo motor, the user seeks guidance on the necessary components and setup. They are considering using a key fob or remote to send a signal to a receiver connected to the servo, which would activate and deactivate the motor. The user is unsure whether to build a circuit board from scratch or modify an existing device with similar characteristics. Additionally, they mention the potential need for a delay relay device in the setup. Clarification on the required range for the remote operation is also requested.

I need some help with this guys. I'm by no means an electrical engineer, although I am an IT Administrator, I'm looking for some advice or a direction of where to start. I've got a servo motor that I would like to set up to start remotely. Where do I need to start, and how do I go about figuring this out? Do I need a circuit board or can I modify something that is existing, with similar characteristics? The ideal situation would be like this. I have a key fob, or remote, and I push a button so that it sends a signal to the receiver that is connected to the servo, and it will start it for me, and then cut if off. I may also need to add a delay relay device on it as well. I don't even know if this is too much to ask, but I figured that I would start here. Thanks for any and all help that you guys could give me.

How remote ? What range do you require ?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
