I have another thread on here about AFADs (automatic flagge assistance devices). Basically, they are trailers that get parked on the side of the road and replace a human flagger. (Stop / slow guys)
In order to make these work, they need to be remote controlled. I have very limited Rf experience, and minimal electronics experience.
Here's what I need to do....
I have 2 trailers 1000' apart. The operator will sit in the middle and operate both AFAD trailers via remote. Each trailer needs to receive 3 channels - one for "stop" one for "slow" one for "horn".
I require the Rf distance be 1000' minimum range. Even though the operator is 500' away, I want a safety margin.
I've searched online, and I've found various remote controls, 3 - 4 channels and more. But I am having problems finding a setup with one controller, and 2 receivers.
In a perfect world, I'm looking for a remote that has...(abs I realize they won't be labled, stop, slow, etc)
(1) stop button
(2) slow buttons
(1) horn button
The stop button would send a signal to BOTH AFADs every time it's pressed.
Each slow button would have its own trailer.
The horn button would send a signal to both AFADs.
Possible? Am I barking up an expensive tree?
