Hi Raul,

You can use any RC receiver with the arduino, you will just use one arduino PIN for each channel you want to receive.

Check the sample code of our Wild Thumper in this case it is reading only two channels of the RC Receiver, here is the code that deals with the RC input

Code:: Speed=pulseIn(RCleft,HIGH,25000); // read throttle/left stick Steer=pulseIn(RCright,HIGH,25000); // read steering/right stick if (Speed==0) Speed=1500; // if pulseIn times out (25mS) then set speed to stop if (Steer==0) Steer=1500; // if pulseIn times out (25mS) then set steer to centre if (abs(Speed-1500) if (abs(Steer-1500)(Leftcenter+RCdeadband)) Leftmode=0; // if left input is forward then set left mode to forward if (Rightspeed>(Rightcenter+RCdeadband)) Rightmode=0; // if right input is forward then set right mode to forward LeftPWM=abs(Leftspeed-Leftcenter)*10/scale; // scale 1000-2000uS to 0-255 LeftPWM=min(LeftPWM,255); // set maximum limit 255 RightPWM=abs(Rightspeed-Rightcenter)*10/scale; // scale 1000-2000uS to 0-255 RightPWM=min(RightPWM,255); // set maximum limit 255

Arduino + RC Radio Remote Controller

2011-06-17T00:06:44+01:00

Hi, I am newbie to the world of robotic.

I am lokking for a good remote control, and easy to work with arduino duemilanove.
I have some ideas how use IR to control the arduino, i already found some projects do guide me, like Dagu - Mini Biped http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info ... ts_id/1207 , but with IR the distance is limited.

I found this on Robosavvy http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info ... ts_id/1236
1º I want know if we can use RC Radio Remote Controller 2.4Ghz 6Ch with arduino duemilanove or any other arduino?

2º if is possible, the connection is made like the "Wild Thumper Arduino Controller "?
http://robosavvy.com/store/product_info ... ts_id/1168
The RC Receiver module sould be connected to pin D0 and D1 of the Arduino.

3º Or I can work with arduino duemilanove any RC radio remote controller??
like this one HobbyKing HK6DF 2.4Ghz FHSS 6Ch Tx & Rx (Mode 2)

Thanks
