Learn How to Build Your Own RC Controls for Your Robots | Beginner's Guide

AI Thread Summary
Building radio controls for robots involves transitioning from wired systems to wireless ones, which can be challenging for beginners. A simple 2-bit Tx-Rx kit is a good starting point, but for more complex projects like an all-terrain vehicle, multiple controls are needed for functions such as throttle, brakes, and steering. Tutorials for RC building can be found online, often focusing on using transmitters and receivers designed for model aircraft, which utilize a pulse-width modulation system compatible with servos and motor controllers. Hobby shops typically stock these components, making them accessible for enthusiasts. Learning to build RC controls enhances the functionality and versatility of robotic projects.

hey i m kinda new at making radio controls... just made a simple RC with a 2 bit Tx- Rx kit that i got from a local shop... all my robots are wired... so i want to move on to a proper radio control(coz they don't teach RC makin in mechanical engineering:cry: :cry: ) ...
can anyone suggest me some tutorials for RC building(for maybe about 6-7 controls , coz currently i m making an all terrain vehicle, a small one, about 80cmX80cm, so i need controls for throttle,brakes,clutch,gear shift, steer )
pleasezzzzzz help...

Hobby shops will carry transmitters and receivers with many channels. They're usually marketed for model aircraft. The receiver output uses a pulse-width system, which will work directly with any servo or motor controller designed for rc use.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
