PBP projects for R/C models

[ScaleRobotics]

Hey Ken,

I have heard you say bang-bang a lot describing the turning control for the car. Are you saying that with the remote control that came with the model car, there is no proportional control of the steering, just full right, straight, and full left? Or is there any in between?

Perhaps you could do some testing to see if a pwm signal to the steering would give you some sort of proportional control?

Is this the same for the throttle? On and off, and no in between? Perhaps you could test that as well.

Without any more info, I don't think you can get more than wild guesses. Some pictures of the steering control, and motor control might help as well.

EDIT: Hot off the press. This news from MeLabs:

melabs now offers multi-seat, educational licensing of PICBASIC PRO for schools. Call for details.
