[YARDStick] Help with Yard Stick

[Andrew MacPherson]

Heya guys,

A step-by-step is a bit tricky, but I can offer some advice.

You can use the YS1 with either something like GRC ( Gnu Radio Companion )
or RFCat. I'd definitely recommend going through the GSG lessons, they are
pretty easy and a lot of it will apply to the YS1, these can be found at
https://greatscottgadgets.com/sdr/

Most likely you are going to start off using the YS1 with rfcat (I have no
idea on what case is preferred), a really nice way to work with the device
via Python. I'd suggest you go through the author of RFCat's talk:
https://bitbucket.org/atlas0fd00m/rfcat/downloads/ (the files
called subghzorbust-bhwkshp.pdf ). This should also give you a lot of
background on it.

If you want something to play with you can take a look at a really
simplistic writeup I did on hacking fixed key remotes at
http://andrewmohawk.com/2015/08/31/hacking-fixed-key-remotes-with-only-rfcat/

If you need a device to play with I recommend going to your local
electronics store (either in person, or online) and grab a cheap DIY
remote-relay kit, its basically a remote and when you press the button it
clicks over a relay. You can then attach that relay to a light source ( or
whatever you feel like ) and try and look at how you could replay the
remote to do it without someone actually pressing it.

Other than that there are loads of people who have done simple stuff you
can follow along with and get your toes wet with this hardware.

Cheers,
Andrew
