RE: Adding Analog RC Control to an Arduino

Cool blog Frank!

I have taken a similar approach on a few projects (Walky II and Mr. Machine), where I used a micro to read the outputs from the R/C receiver to where I processed the signals to control the motors. In both of these projects I qualified commands from the R/C receiver with sensor data to determine how to act, if at all, to the commands.

It is very handy to use a R/C transmitter/receiver as opposed to having design/build your own controller.

I had done something similar, with a FLYSKY radio controller , I used the map function in the Arduino sketch, not sure how useful it will be in your case. Ideally, I could have made the servo's move by directly connecting the servo's to the receiver , like how we do in RC planes.. Here is the blog post - Arduino Nano -- controlling things using a RC controllers - Servos

Good Luck - Carmelito
