How to make an Arduino-based Transmitter

I want a cheap and easy-to-make transmitter so I can make all sorts of projects remote controlled. I then took the not so easy path by designing my own from scratch. But here it is, and I love it. It also ended up looking quite cool – which is a big bonus.

In this video I'll show you how to assemble the hardware and wire all the electronic components. In the next video I'll be doing a lot of programming to make it do all sorts of cool things. So stay tuned for that.

Enjoy!

Omg this is so cool. Please keep working on your projects, I'll be waiting to see your progress!

Something I did on a project was to "extend" the LED light through the case by using a piece of clear 1.75mm crystal clear PETG 3D printing filament as a "light pipe" to bring the light up to the front of the case. In the design I created a small tube that extended from the front to just above the LED on the Arduino LED. The hole in the tube was about 1.75mm, and I cleared it out with a drill bit to ensure a tight fit. With the case assembled, I cut the end of a piece of the clear PETG to a clean end with a razor blade, then inserted it into the hole down to make contact with the LED. A little CA glue secured the PETG in place, and I cleaved off the filament flush with the front of the case with that razor blade. It work extremely well. The LED light is highly visible, and no soldering required to extend it, and no modification to the Arduino.

Nice project. Well presented. I'm looking forward to the next video in the series.

threaded inserts is what I needed for my 3d printed enclosures - great build overall!

Bro pls make reciever part 👌👌👌 waiting

[kulaniscap]

This looks like an amazing product, cant wait to see what it does.

Your design is very nice in silver! Mostly done, now waiting for a part to come from Amazon. My rotory encoder mounts are different, but one screw hole is enough.
Thanks

Can't wait to see the next part of this video. The reciever part. And also testing of this project.

[MrZeroinside]

Such a good video, very easy to understand and very affordable as well, cant wait for next vid, Keep it up!

[aandykf]

I really appreciate your videos.Looking forward to the next one!

[husnainali]

Bro love your design of transmitter . I would love to see the reciever part of it. We are waiting for it

[SanjayRamaswamyWolvie]

Wow, Your Production quality is good. Its very professional. Keep it up dude. The video is good. Your video skills are so good that even if there is no content I don't mind watching your videos. Hope you reach a million subs in few months

[StreamzNow]

Love ur channel please start posting more frequently

[haneen]

Could you please share the programming and receiver part soon?

[maxhouseman]

Greets from a medical engineer and hobby designer. I probably don't learn anything new, but I like your stuff and design. It is just relaxing to see your videos during lunch break 😅 Hexagon screws are looking very professional, I like it!
Keep it up!

[cringefds]

could you do the settings for the transmitter as you said?

[zaprodk]

Cool project! Was the choice of battery because of space constraints? A PP3 battery doesn't contain a lot of energy (approx. 400 mAh) and not much is left when you have thrown away 45% of it in the voltage regulator. What's the actual runtime of the unit?

[Праведныймиротворец]

Nice build, although I'd recommend using embedded nuts

[strikerwow]

Have you programed it yet? Cuz I have no idea how to do that

electronics links from description are not working anymore

[satpal]

please provide me code for transmitter. video is very nice.👍
