RemoteSwitch library v2.3.0 (20121229) for Arduino 1.0
Made by Randy Simons http://randysimons.nl/
This library provides an easy class for Arduino, to send and receive signals
used by some common "old style" 433MHz remote control switches.
There are two styles of remote:
- "old style", which uses switches or a dial to set the house code. Use this
library.
- "new style", which use a button on the receivers to "learn" a signal. Use
the NewRemoteSwitch library instead.
See RemoteTransmitter.h and RemoteReceiver.h for details!

Installation of library:
- Make sure Arduino is closed
- Copy the directory RemoteSwitch to the Arduino library directory (usually
<Sketchbook directory>/libraries/)
See http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries for detailed instructions.
Default installation sender & demo:
- Connect tha data-in-pin of a 433MHz transmitter to digital pin 11. See
docs/hardware setup.jpg.
(Note: your hardware may have a different pin configuration!)
- Start Arduino, and open the example: File -> Examples -> RemoteSwitch ->
LightShow
- Alter addresses/devices to reflect your own setup. Otherwise nothing will
happen.
- Compile, upload and run!
Default installation receiver & demo:
- Connect the data-out-pin of a 433MHz receiver to digital pin 2. See photo.
(Note: your hardware may have a different pin configuration!)
- Start Arduino, and open the example: File -> Examples -> RemoteSwitch ->
ShowReceivedCode or ShowReceivedCodeNewKaku, depending on your remote.
- Compile, upload and run
- Open serial monitor in Arduino (115200 baud)
- Press buttons on a 433MHz-remote, and watch the serial monitor
Notes:
- These transmitters often use the PT2262 IC, or equivalent. For details about
the waveforms used by these remotes, the datasheet of the PT2262 is provided.
Page 4 and 5 will be of most interest.
Changelog:
RemoteSwitch library v2.3.0 (20121229) for Arduino 1.0
- Improved reception quality by filtering too short pulses.
- Dropped pre-v1.0 Arduino support.
- Added RemoteReceiver::deinit()
RemoteSwitch library v2.2.1 (20120314) for Arduino 0022/1.0
- Fixed Elro code, it caused memory corruption.
- Renamed old-style .pde files to new-style .ino
RemoteSwitch library v2.2.0 (20120213) for Arduino 0022/1.0
- Added support for Elro switches (http://www.elro.eu/en/m/products/category/home_automation/home_control)
(untested; I don't have these kind of devices)
- Allowed the number of repeated signals transmitted by RemoteTransmitter to be
changed.
- By default, 16 instead of 8 repeats are sent.
- Support for Arduino 1.0.
- Added Datasheet PT2262, which (or equivalent) is often used in the transmitters.
- RemoteReceiver::isReceiving timeout changed to 150ms; 100ms was too short.
RemoteSwitch library v2.1.1 (20110920) for Arduino 0022
- Improved RemoteReceiver::isReceiving
RemoteSwitch library v2.1.0 (20110919) for Arduino 0022
- Changed classnames from *Switch to *Transmitter
- Added RemoteTransmitter::sendCode. See example "retransmitter".
- RemoteReceiver::interruptHandler() is now public, for use with InterruptChain
RemoteSwitch library v2.0.0 (20100130) for Arduino 0017
- Complete rewrite; can now receive and decode signals directly from
the receiver's digital out.
