Hi
I am very very new to electronics so I will apologise in advance for any stupid questions that i ask! (i study networking so if I wrongly use any networking terms that are not appropriate I also apologise !!!)
I am wanting to design a simple tracking system using rf transmitters and receivers.
I basically want the transmitter circuit to constantly ping the receiver circuit and if the receiver circuit is out of range, or does not receive this signal then it alerts via some lcd or even a led!
I have found a similar project on the net but i dont know if i could use that as the basics for what i want to do.
http://www.e-dsp.com/how-to-build-your- ... plication/
Could i just build these exact same circuits and add an extra bit of assembly code to flash an led when it stops receiving??
I have done a bit of reading on avr chips, AVR Jtag ice programmers and i bought a few ATMEGA32 chips thinking that i could do it but in actual fact i am just lost!
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
