 +  * Populate breadboard 
 +    * Put the **Arduino nano** on a breadboard 
 +    * Plug in the **radio receiver** board (the longer one with 4 pins), so that no pins overlap with the Arduino 
 +      * Add jumper cables for GND and VCC (use the 5V from the Arduino nano) 
 +      * There's 2 pins left in the middle on the receiver board, but I think they're the same. Add a jumper from one of the middle pins to pin 2 on the Arduino 
 +    * Plug in the **radio transmitter** board (the square one), so that no pins overlap with other pins 
 +      * Connect VCC and Ground 
 +      * Add a jumper cable from the middle pin to pin 11 on the Arduino 
 +      * Add a cable from the 2 screw terminals of the relay output port of the OpenBuilds Blackbox to the breadboard and connect one lead to +5V and the other to pin 3. From there, also go to GND via a 10Kohm resistor. This is basically a setup for a button / switch 
 +  * Pair up the remote to a socket 
 +    * Plug in the socket to a power strip 
 +    * With the remote, click "on" 4 times to pair. Now the on - off pair on the remote works with the remote socket. 
 +  * Install the [[https://github.com/1technophile/NewRemoteSwitch|NewRemoteSwitch]] library 
 +  * Run the example project 'showreceived Code' on the Arduino 
 +  * Open the Arduino Terminal and press On and Off on the remote 
 +  * I got back the following info 
 +    * ON-signal: 
 +      * Code: 30980307 Period: 250 
 +      * unit: 0 
 +      * groupBit: 0 
 +      * switchType: 1 
 +    * OFF-signal 
 +      * Code: 30980307 Period: 250 
 +      * unit: 0 
 +      * groupBit: 0 
 +      * switchType: 0 
 +  * Open now the example sketch 'Lightshow' 
 +    * Change the line: NewRemoteTransmitter transmitter(**123**, 11, 260, 3);\\ to: NewRemoteTransmitter transmitter(**30980307**, 11, 260, 3); <nowiki>// (address, pin, period_microseconds, repeats)</nowiki> 
 +      * The big number is the received 'code' data from the remote. 
 +    * Also change the lines in the loop to use only these: 
 +      * Switch off with: transmitter.sendUnit(0, false); 
 +      * Switch on  with: transmitter.sendUnit(0, true); 
 +    * Then upload the sketch to the Arduino and try it out. The remote socket should switch every 5 seconds. 
 + 
 +  * Open the Openbuilds Blackbox and change the Relay Jumper from the M3/M5 command config to the M8 M9 config. The M3 command is already used for setting the servo. See the docs [[https://docs.openbuilds.com/doku.php?id=docs:blackbox-4x:jumper-relay|here]]. 
 +    * Tested successfully: M8 closes the Relay, M9 opens it. The plotter starts with the relay opened. 
 + 
 +This is the code I'm using now:  
 +<code c++> 
 +/* 
 +Plotter auto shutdown 01 
 + 
 +For the Openbuilds Acro pen plotter. 
 +The Gcode sender (Openbuilds Control) will send the following Gcode sequence after finishing a plot: 
 +  M8 ; close the relay 
 +  G4 P0.2 ; wait 20 MS 
 +  M9 ; open the relay 
 + 
 +The relay is connected with the arduino nano with a cable. This signal can be detected as if it were a button press 
 +When the arduino received the 'button press', it transmits a code so the remote power socket will switch off. 
 +I'm using the Bounce2 library for debouncing and the NewRemoteTransmitter library for receiving and transmitting the 433Mhz radio remote signals.
