  • Hi Chris,

     

    Want to create a wireless- remote control switch for a 115v winch motor that will function over 500 ft, obstructed line-of-sight. The motor is currently controlled by a DPDT momentary switch to engage forward and reverse. A 800 ft, 4-wires cable is currently used to connect power to the motor and switch to control the motor. I want to create a wireless switch control (Tx/Rx) units to untether the winch motor from the truck. A portable generator will be used to provide power directly to the winch and the wireless receiver. I want to use once channel for forward and separate channel for reverse. Reverse is accomplished by a relay within the winch motor.   I'm thinking of something in the 27Mhz  or 433Mhz band, around 1W to achieve this distance.

     

    I want to try and build this as a DIY project to learn about wireless controls.

     

    It seems simple in the idea, but struggling with where to start... Tx/Rx components needed, relays, etc.

    I have schematics for the motor wiring and the switch control box. Just want to replace the wire connecting them with a wireless connection.

    I can send them to you if that would help.

     

    Can you direct me some companies that can provide the components needed to build such a beast?
