Project Overview
The Smart Saw is a Saw that can be used to cut trees or limbs that are in a high or dangerous place to reach. Our goal is to modify the saw so that the operation of the saw is completely wireless. To create the wireless controll method we are creating a remote that will be able to communicate to the saw wirelessly via radio frequencies from an XBEE board.Saw Demonstration Video
