    Car Keyboard Rf
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a wireless-controlled car using a keyboard as the remote, with plans to include a camera for live feed. The project is divided into parts, starting with developing a long-range transmitter and receiver aiming for at least 500 meters using FM or VHF/UHF bands. The user intends to utilize a microcontroller on the car and a computer for transmission, considering the implementation of an FSK circuit. There is uncertainty regarding the construction of an FSK circuit, leading to the question of whether a simple FM modulator can be adapted for FSK with a digital input. Resources for USB interfacing and project guidance are also requested.

I have embarked on my first real project of making a wireless controlled car. But here the remote is going to be my keyboard. I am also thinking of mounting a camera on its top for live feed.

Please suggest resources on everything, especially USB interfacing as I want it to be UPnP.

Is no mentor here who could help me achieve my goal?

Anyways, I have decided to break up this project into parts.

The first objective is to make a long range receiver transmitter and receiver.
I aim to get at least 500 meters of range. For this I would be needing FM range or other VHF/UHF band. I plan to use micro-controller on the car and computer on the transmitter side.

So I think, I would need to employ a FSK circuit.

But I am not getting a FSK circuit constuction.

So can a simple FM modulator circuit be used as FSK, if its input is Digital?

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
