R/c

Hi; this is my first post :) I hope this is the right section for my question

Ive managed to make a working servo control system, it works quite nicely but now i want to make it Radio controlled. Unfortunately i dont have any experience with R/C, can you recommend me some guides or books about this ?

Thanks

First I will suggest that you get things communicating with wires first, then an R/C module will almost be a drop in. ( sounds like you have done so, just a disclaimer)

The parts I like are found here
http://www.rentron.com/remote_control/TXLC-XXX-LR.htm
Code examples can be found here too.

Basically all you do is send the command with one of the serial protocols. A little signal conditioning and your good to go.

dhouston has good info on his site.

I will not recomend any books, just a waste of time the most of them.
Read the above two sites and this forum and that is all you will need.

Hello yaang,
First off, Welcome to the forum. Here is a link to a Google page customized to search this forum, I got this from Darrel Taylor. I set this as my home page, only it is set to search the internet by default.

yaang,
Start with Dave's advice, and you'll do fine.

Joe,

Cool! and ...

If you use google's custom home page, you can add this "Gadget" to show the forums RSS feed. It's got a nasty delay, but still kinda nice.
