Hardware Hookup

All of these boards use Qwiic, so that made things much easier and faster to hookup.

The Remote

For the remote control, there are only 4 connections that need to be made:

From/Device 1 Connection Type To/Device 2
1. Pro RF Qwiic Cable Cryptographic Co-processor
2. LiPo Battery JST Pro RF
3. Duck Antennae U.FL to SMA adapter cable Pro RF
4. Button Wire Switch Headers on Pro RF

The remote control all wired up.

The Base Transceiver

The Base Transceiver also requires hooking up just 4 connections:

From/Device 1 Connection Type To/Device 2
1. Power adapter USB Pro RF
2. Pro RF Qwiic Cable Cryptographic Co-processor
3. Cryptographic Co-processor Qwiic Cable Relay
4. Relay COM & NO Wire Garage door button

Note, the order of boards in the qwiic system didn't matter, but I put the relay last so I could position it for easier access. I also soldered to the PTH pins on the bottom of the screw pin terminal, but you could choose to do a solderless connection if you like.
