DIY Portable Generator remote start Part 1
In this video, I am continuing the breakdown and wiring of the Arduino UNO and Keyestudio relay shield, and installing it into a weatherproof enclosure. Below are links to all of the components in this video, a list of relay assignments on the CAT6 cable, a link to the Keyestudio Wiki, and the script that was used in this test. Thanks for watching, and stay tuned for the next video.

void setup()
{
pinMode(7, OUTPUT); // Ignition switch run mode
pinMode(6, OUTPUT); // Choke actuator
pinMode(5, OUTPUT); // Starter motor solenoid
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(7, HIGH); // Ignition switch ON
delay(4000); // Wait for 4 seconds to cancel start
digitalWrite(6, HIGH); // Choke actuator ON
delay(2000); // Wait for 2 seconds
digitalWrite(5, HIGH); // Starter solenoid ON
delay(3000); // Wait for 3 seconds while engine is cranking
digitalWrite(5, LOW); // Starter solenoid OFF
delay(4000); // Wait for 4 seconds to allow air/fuel mix to stabilize
digitalWrite(6, LOW); // Choke actuator OFF
delay(30000); // Wait for 8 hours while generator is running (test will only run for 30 seconds)
digitalWrite(7, LOW); // Ignition switch OFF
stop(); // If generator has not been turned off by now, stop generator for cooling and refueling
}
void stop()
{
set_sleep_mode(SLEEP_MODE_PWR_DOWN);
cli(); // Disable interrupts
sleep_mode();
}

Love the mat!
this is awesome :)
Glock mat☝️👌
I am very impressed, Creative, well done and thought out However, you have created an open loop control solution when in fact the Arduino can sense things via inputs too. Is it possible you could sense a few things via closed loop ie. : 1. Motor running or failed-start w/ LED indicators 2. Choke position indicator LED 3. Carbon Monoxide and fire detection. 4. Others Just some thoughts !

can you show us how?!
Great video and explanation. I have only one question: your code is set to activate the choke on every start up. But if the generator is warm, can it still fire up with the choke being activated? Wouldn´t an temperature sensor on the engine block, help to determine if the choke needs to be activated or not?. Thank you.

Great point, I haven't figured out how to tell the Arduino to listen to sensing peripherals, but I'd love to do something like that. As for it affecting the engine, it won't harm anything to close the choke for a couple seconds on every start, though it isn't necessary.
Great stuff! Did you put the script in before the video? Maybe I missed it but I didn't see where you put the script in.

The script is in the comments, please read carefully as you will need to make some changes
Thanks for this tutorial. It’s very informative. I have started this project myself and am wondering how you fastened the RF receiver and Arduino to the enclosure. Double sided tape?

Yes, I used double sided tape. I roughed up the surfaces with scotchbrite and cleaned with alcohol
So this is part II really since I dont know the Arduino so why not start with I and then make this #II?
Why everybody use a damn ar dweaner for every damn thing.. its really unnecessary for this typevof application because you can buy a relay board as well as a re remote w/ receiver then wire to a switch then to battery to be able to turn it off if you want. Include a solar battery maintainer with controller and can leave it on 24/7.. but no need for any arduino.. the relays can be set to different buttons on the rf remote for actuator on choke and start button, and kill button..

Why don't you show us how to do it in a video like JPG23 did. and take the time to show us. I'm like many out there. I don't have a clue on how to's and seeing this helps. Like a list of parts etc... Thx
