HELP - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I am not an electrician but an accountant, however, I have a hobby shooting fireworks. As part of that hobby I use a basic system to electronically fire the fireworks. The system consists of a RF transmitter and receiver. I am wanting to replace the handheld transmitter with a transmitter that uses the computer (USB or serial port) to send the signal, in that way I can better control the firing of the fireworks. I am willing to pay someone to tell me the parts I need to assemble this tranmitter and for advise putting it together.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
