Making a remote, but new to electrical engineering

[oztech33]

Hey guys

Basically this is my first project of this type so I am a bit new to everything, all i really know is basic electrical circuits etc i learned in school and self taught stuff I've looked up, apart from that computers are as close as I've gotten!

So basically I am an airsofter - and at times this involves the use of pyrotechnics and special effects, so i decide to design a remote detonation system for the fuse based devices.

This is what I've come up with, the problem is i have no idea what to do for the transmitter/receiver side as I've never so much as built a kit car - so if you guys to take pity on a newbie and help me out id really appreciate it!

Thanks for any help,
Oz

You can readily buy RF modules that do just what you want. I don't think home made RF's are so reliable to be used for jobs like DETONATION!

I kow you can buy maroon firing systems etc but these are designed for very specific devices and require you to run a cable to the device

Im looking to build a wireless system to be safer, i figured the safest method of firing these devices would be a wireless detonator (running on something a bit more obscure like 433mhz)
dont worry its not for massive explosions! lol just small ones but you still wouldn't want one going off in your hand! lol
