Hi,
I have a small mc based project which is to use an Arduino ATMEGA328 UNO EVAL board with an RF-solutions 8Ch transceiver. The controller will be programmed to set off (at random) one of five LED array modules 10m away with the press of a button. Each LED array module will have the same RF-solutions transceiver in it and a flasher circuit and should consume less than 200mA.
My questions are, is the Arduino board that I have chosen the most suitable one for this application and as for the flasher circuit; would it be wiser (and cheaper) to just use a simple astable 555 cct in each of the array modules or use another Arduino board in each to do the flashing?
Thanks in advance.
