Welcome to the nRF24-Esk8-Remote wiki!
To build the remote you will need basic skills with a soldering iron, a good understanding of electronics and a little patience. The remote has shown to be very reliable, however, I can't guarantee that it works for you. Good luck!
The construction of the remote can be divided into four different stages.
- Enclosure and inner mechanism
- Electronics
- Software
- Final assembly
The remote enclosure and inner mechanism consist of five different 3D-printed parts, a few bolts, and a spring. All 3D-printable parts for the remote can be found on Thingiverse.
The main electronics of the remote are an Arduino Nano, a nRF24 transmitter, and a Hall Effect sensor. The electronics are powered by a lithium polymer battery with a nominal voltage of 3,7V and a capacity of 400mAh. To charge the battery and boost the voltage to 5V, two separated boards are used.

All software to the remote is ready to use and easy to install by using the Arduino IDE. You will need a USB cable to do so (either a micro USB or a mini USB depending on your Arduino Nano).
