Sometimes Wifi is not the best way to go. So here it comes: Switching by LAN. The smart and easy solution
for controlling everything via ethernet. Being almost that flexible like a remoteSwitch Raspberry, this tiny switch
can rule a lot of different switching technologies. Out of the box. Super easy. Just depending on its firmware and
the amount of customizing you want...
- Connect a 16ch china relay board directly
- Connect an unlimited amount of Big32s
- Connect up to 8 wifi module units (without mcu)
- Same UI like all other switches, switch wherever you are.
- Lock ports, customize Labels, create groups like a pro!
- No own web server? Get the tiny small remoteSwitch WifiServer
Highlights are:
- Can handle different switching techniques
- Can be a stand alone 16ch controller
- Supporting 16ch china relay boards
- Faster: STM MCU (microcontroller) powered
- Works out of the box (if no customizing needed)
- Can be controlled by remoteSwitch Raspi
See Switch LAN
Direct connections do have some disadvantages. And the number of pins is limited. Here comes the Big32 into the play.
Easy to assemble due to through hole parts, each board can grow. You can start just with a 16ch assembly and add
more later. Or you use multiple Big32s stacked to reach 100, 200 or 300 ports? It's your choice.
- Easy to assemble
- Easy to replace damaged ICs (if this would ever happen)
- Use the same or a different voltage for 8ports
- Switch only if you are done: OE-Port
- Switch to HIGH or to LOW (configurable)
- Switch in milliseconds
Can be controlled by:
- remoteSwitch Raspberry
- remoteSwitch Wifi
- remoteSwitch LAN

"Hey, i don't use wifi at my contest station, don't you have something with LAN?". This question was asked quite often
until the LAN-Version was born. Most of the older switching devices are based on Atmel328/2560 (aka Arduino), this device
was a game changer. Holy shi... That's fast response! Sidekick: There is (still!) a bug in the ethernet library for Arduinos, which causes them to hang when being controlled
via remote under some circumstances (happening more often than you want them to, be sure...), we were able to find a workaround to avoid
at least this problem (maybe we created some others... See 99 little bugs in the code,hi).
- Easy to assemble
- Plug_and_play! (Not customized)
- Easy to replace damaged parts (if this would ever happen)
- Stackable up to 2 china boards per Big32
- As many Big32s as you want (ok, i just tested with 10,hi)
Can be controlled by:
- remoteSwitch Raspberry
- Stand alone
- Browser and app

This little piece of hardware is really something magic. It can fill so many gaps in your station control environment,
you will be so happy to use those tiny pieces:
- Two independent 1to16 Interlock Systems
- Only one of the 16 can be "ON". Prevents unwanted switching!
- Switch to GND or switch to VCC
- Dedicated "ALL OFF"
- Using binary switching
Can be a (2 of them on one board!):
- 1to16 Interlock in your infrastructure
- BCD BANDDECODER :P (//No configuration needed//)
Can be controlled/extended by:
- Your Transceiver
- Every remoteSwitch from remoteUltra to remoteBig32
- remoteRaspi
- remoteGateway BCD

"Hey, i want to change the labels! I want a different set of groups! I need different ports to be interlocked!". For those requirements
the answer for a long time was: Take a local copy of the web app and use this one. Or: Throw the web app to your own server.
This worked out for a long time, but now we want to welcome one of our newest members of the remoteSwitch family: A web server in a bug.
Ok, in a tiny little mcu connected by wifi :P
- Easy to assemble
- Easy to configure by your smartphone
- Easy to upload needed files by FTP
- Provide the files you want to customize
Can be used by:
- remoteSwitch Wifi standalone
- remoteSwitch LAN standalone
See The mighty Bug.
What if you just want to automate everything? Using the remoteRaspi this is already possible using
logprogramms like N1MM, DXLog, ... But how about doing this just out of the box!
Doesnt sound this
great? This is why we created remoteGateway BCD. You can have as many of those Gateways in your environment
and configure them differently. They can act completly individual and switch different or the same antennas...
Being more flexible: Since this can be part of the remoteRaspi configuration, you can do things like:
"Switch to 80m, switch CW-Coil and switch on the christmas tree"! :)
- Easy to assemble
- Easy to configure by your smartphone
- Switch by call (url)
- Switch by call to remoteRaspi (Device)
Can be used by:
- remoteSwitch Wifi standalone
- remoteSwitch LAN standalone
- remoteRaspi

Doesnt sound this
great? SDR is the future. And RigExperts defined somethign really future proof: TCI. A complete ne protocol
is coming up and connect everything together! Sounds great? It is like the invention of CAT in the past :)
So this is the future - time to add it to remoteSwitch! You can also have as many of those Gateways in
your environment and configure them differently with your SunSdrs. They can act completly individual and
switch different or the same antennas...

Being in the business of remote switching since 8 years, we learned quite fast: It's impossible to create a solution,
that fits for all. What is nice to set up for smaller stations, is not applicable for bigger stations.
The more general and generic the solutions are, the more the people got lost in the configuration.
The general approach never worked and just complicated things, regardless how hard we tried.
So what to do? This was the time, the minimal remoteSwitch project was born:
Create something simple. Each switch with our firmware has its own graphical UI and can be stand alone.
All look, work and are configurable in the same manner. From the little 16ch boards up to cascaded raspberry servers.
Create something scalable. Using the stackable approach, you can always add more boards later.
Be modular. The number of different switched and techniques used my look overwhelming. But the idea behind it is:
Use modules. Compose them like a piece of art to fulfill your own requirements. No overhead - just exactly what you need. Modules can be easily changed without
a risk and without high costs. Spend your money on other equipment (or take your wife out for dinner :p ).
In ham we trust. We and our friends at www.remoteqth.com believe in open hardware and open source. We do not copy others ideas and designs.
Using highly available parts like china relay boards and our prepared pcbs, you can easily build a great remote setup without games to break the bank.
We won't let you alone. Many customers ask for help via email. We go another approach. Reach out to us for personal assistance! We help you choose,
setup and configure your system.
Thats what friends are for. When partners become friends is one of the best things that can happen. Together with www.remoteqth.com/www.qro.cz
we create professional products. Having those manufactured in professional companies, there is still place for individual customizing. As already
pointed out: Individual requirements need individual solutions. From combining different modules to achive the best for you to a complete custom solution: Just ask for it! We will help to find what fits most!
Big is never big enough. If you are building a contest station, there are so many requirements and possibilities you need to take care of. Our
System based on a heavy featured raspberry system is not only easy to update, it will also fulfill all your requirements. Controlled by contest loggers, contest
piano, fast encoder switching for beverages, ... The possibilities are endless! This system can rule them all and let your dreams come true.
