SUMMARY

The discussion centers on creating a keyboard-controlled wireless car project, with an emphasis on achieving a long-range communication system of at least 500 meters using FM or VHF/UHF bands. The project involves using a microcontroller on the car and a computer for the transmitter. The user seeks guidance on constructing an FSK circuit for this purpose and questions the feasibility of using a simple FM modulator circuit as an FSK alternative when the input is digital.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of RF communication principles
  • Familiarity with microcontrollers, specifically Arduino or Raspberry Pi
  • Knowledge of FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) modulation techniques
  • Experience with USB interfacing and UPnP protocols
NEXT STEPS
  • Research FSK circuit design and components
  • Explore FM modulator circuit configurations for digital inputs
  • Learn about long-range RF communication techniques
  • Investigate UPnP implementation for USB devices
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for hobbyists, electronics enthusiasts, and developers interested in wireless communication projects, particularly those focusing on remote-controlled vehicles and RF technology.

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?
