How to Build RC Hovercraft!

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Dear All ,

I'm a Precision Engineering Student from Myanmar. I've to built a RC hovercraft for my university project.

But,I'm just a beginner for Electronic field.

I don't trouble for designing cover frame of hovercraft,but start difficulties in building Control System for this.

First , I don't know which radio Transmitter & Receiver use for this?

And then , I don't know how to connect this selected Control System to the motors that used in the hovercraft.

But before that, I had a little experience of Arduino , and so I hope if I use Arduino for Control System , I'll be OK.

So, I wanna request your advice for starting this project.

 

Thanks ...

    Hello, I think that the best thing you should do before is to post for us more detailed information on the mechanic and construction of the system. The number of channels of the RC controller, for example…

    A radio transmitter/receiver to control your motors, doesn't matter which transmitter you use . Just choose a frequency allowed in your country. For testing the motors, you first have to solder an electric…

    Check out hobbyking for cheap parts:

    http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__1117__190__Radios_Receivers-OrangeRx_Radios_Tele_Sensor_F_Stabilization.html

     

    You can find kits, parts etc

    http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__502__501__Multi_Rotors_Parts-Frame_Kits.html

     

    Most frames will have "additional items" at the bottom to guide you.

     

    if you are building a controller you will need a 3-axis gyro.  This project is not for beginner and will require using ATMEL code directly over the Arduino libraries due to speed constraints.

     

    Good Luck
