Controlling devices remotely using wireless systems like USRP involves establishing a digital channel for data transfer, where the main considerations are data capacity and signal performance. A defined control protocol is necessary to send commands over the data link, which can be encoded and decoded by devices such as Arduino. The Arduino can monitor input devices like switches or joysticks to translate commands into a data protocol for transmission. At the receiving end, another Arduino can decode the data to control actuators. Researching existing protocols and hardware solutions can facilitate this process.
