RE: Arduino Nano -- controlling things using a RC controllers - Servos

Carmelito,

This is an interesting project. I have tried something similar to this in the past but I could not get it to operate reliably as sometimes it would miss 'pulses' and then the servos do not get a fully continuous sequence. This wasn't a serious problem until we connect the system to a 40 kg mobile robot with dual DC motor drive controlled from an RC servo controller similar to the one you have. When an Arduino was inserted into the loop in order to control acceleration and so on, the system became unreliable as the DC motor module was designed to stop if the RC signal was intermittent - as a safety feature. The health and safety people looking at the robot were very unhappy.

I'm not sure how you could check this as it is quite hard to detect when something isn't there!

Looking forward to your battle bots.

Sooo many things you can do with this... but indeed, first Tea Time!

Nice!

Thank you for sparkling my mind.
