I found some Arduino code online which implements the electrical socket’s ASK protocol and quickly got that to work. Then I ported that code to LabJack and now it’s working wonders, keeping us safe from 220V mains and allowing wireless control of appliances.
This is obviously not something I’d ever use in a production environment, but for laboratory scale automation where the rig is constantly changed this is just great. I really appreciate the LabJack platform and its flexibility.
