Introduction

Python script for sending 433MHz signals with generic low-cost GPIO RF modules on a Raspberry Pi.

I first sniffed remote controler signal with gqrx with my rtl-sdr USB key (820T2) tuned around 433MHz.

Once the acquisition were right, I retroengineered the protocol with audacity which happened to be a simple on-off keying modulated signal.

Lastly, I implemented this into a python script using my Raspberry Pi 1 GPIOs.

Supported hardware

Most generic 433MHz capable modules connected via GPIO to a Raspberry Pi.

Compatibility

This is compatible with my garage barrier.

Dependencies

RPi.GPIO

Installation

On your Raspberry Pi, clone this repository.

TX module:
   GND > PIN 09 (GND)
   VCC > PIN 02 (5V)
  DATA > PIN 11 (GPIO17)

Usage

Once you entered the right code and configured the script, you can open the barrier by running:

# python3 TX.py open_code
