How to use RC radio with Arduino (RC Arduino robot)

[@ronen124]

that was a nice logic to harness only one pin of the receiver in order to control 3 variables: speed, right and left of the motor👌

[@deeareus9886]

nice work, i'm happy that someone still use the rc remote:P

[@nikodembartnik]

Thank you!

[@PiefacePete46]

Great video (as usual) thanks. Your project has everything it needs to be both RC tank, and robot. Code some instructions into the Arduino that are executed when the radio signal is lost, then all you have to do to change from tank to robot is turn the transmitter off. Add a few components so it logs every turn while you are driving it, then have it execute them in reverse when you turn the transmitter off... poor man's Return to Home! :o)

[@alexrydeen2987]

Could you specify what pins do I connect from the receiver to the Arduino I can't really tell from looking at the video ?

[@KatsatOnmyhat]

orange to pin ~9 from chn 1 pin 1, other 2 are power and ground

[@rlrentertainmentsinventions]

Nice video bro, it helped me a lot just now my project worked fine. Thanks a lot.

[@DavidofSteele]

Thanks mate, great video 👍👍👍👍

[@chanakyasinha8046]

Hey, i am using this transmitter to control my battle bot, i have one question, is receiver receives ppm signal or pwm, my motor driver is pwm compatible,suggest me any ppm to pwm converter, the result with directly connecting receiver and transmitter to motor driver was like, motor wasn't running at full speed, and not stopping either.

[@ТарасДмитренко-к5ч]

Thanks.this is what im looking for

[@Perspectologist]

Nice to see how this is done. I’ve used a Adafruit feather with Bluetooth for a remote control rover via an iPhone app. That worked well, but I guess using the RC controller gives you more range and a better control feel. Eventually I want to try using an esp32 for remote control tele-presence applications over WiFi.

[@nikodembartnik]

It's much simpler to use and more reliable also range is better. But you can send more data over WiFi or Bluetooth and there are much more options than in RC

Świetny film tylko proszę powiedz gdzie uczyłeś się programowania arduibo?

[@reinierstienstra3697]

Hi Nikodem, i got your skeches from your github. I 3d printed the tracks for a tracked vehicle with aluminium chassis and arduino + motorshield 'motor management'. I want to hook it up to a rc set i recently purchased so, you sketch is just what i need to adjust to my setup. Thanks so much for sharing this!

[@Stephen-ku5fe]

cool vid man loved it, kept me entertained : )

[@nikodembartnik]

Thanks!

[@thedocdodge]

Wondering if you could make a diagram or show where your wires are plugged in. Hard to tell from the video.

[@engineerslab1440]

thank you so much for great video and great work

[@MisterMakerNL]

I am also doing some arduino work, I am just amazed how tidy your desk is, mine is full with wires and parts :O

[@nikodembartnik]

I keep it like that to have space for making my videos :) Otherwise there is plenty of stuff

[@sqlacademy]

Can you please share the connection layout and the driver module you used with Arduino and a question - where Pin 9and 10 defined in the code are connected.

[@potatoestv2759]

Looks nice

[@Interceptor3000]

Can you tell anything about the delay caused by the Arduino? I am familiar with the Ardunio programming and about to give an rc car a more authentic behavior on throtling with an Arduino and ad a fpv cam with a stepper motor to be able to look arround. If the Ardunio will cause a delay about 200 ms it will be not worth starting the projekt so if you know anything about the delay let me know!!

[@HumanSystems]

Awesome!

[@shutdahellup69420]

exactly...the only downside with ct6b is 8 freaking batteries, i6 and other tx usually use 4 batteries. Idk why they made it for 8...like whats the point of doing that???

[@annielim2446]

Can I use 4 channel remote and receiver?

[@onurkarakaya5640]

you are the man bro.

[@rafixx89]

Witam nie leprze było by esc ? bez arduino ?

[@mitsos306ify]

Nice video! I appreciate the build but why you used an arduino for this project? You could just use 2 continuous rotating servos...

[@SianaGearz]

Gotta be a bit careful, those AMS1117-5 regulators on cheap Arduino clones are a wee bit wimpy and have bad failure modes. If you run just the receiver on there, it's no big deal, it's fine, but if you add servos, that could be pushing it. But as long as you can touch it and it's not burning your finger off on the regulator, up near the barrel jack, it's fine.

[@nikodembartnik]

Yes I know, they are overheating a lot sometimes.

[@SickmanOfVietnam]

I need your skills so i can have fun too. old or young. thank you, so much.

[@ugyen_tech]

sir can i use this code in FLYSKY FS-i4 4CH with L298 H-Bridge Dual Motor Driver and Arduino uno. can i get t the circuit diagram sir?

[@kaluvanhariharan4256]

very very nice work....

[@m.s.3346]

good job & nice video!

[@tushar673353]

this is what im looking for...i have drone remote same as yours and want to control a robot

[@marn200]

That tranmitter isn't ugly, it's how they're supposed to look like. (my opinion). 2:24 if I use right stick with these code. It works, but if I take it to the far left, LED goes on on brightest.

[@DFX2KX]

There are some nicer looking TX's out there, Orange, Spectrum ect. Still, they're cheap and they work.

[@sr5u]

Hi Nikodem, This rc project looks pretty interesting because it might be helpful to resolve my automotive lawnmower idea and the RC implementation on it. But I want to use ESP8266 Node mcu instead of Arduino board. so that I can read some of the data using some sensors and send back to my mobile phone. Is that possible?

[@wellingtonpereira8171]

como fazer as rodas girar pra frente e pra tras ao mesmo tempo? mudaria de direção mais rapido.

[@tylerdean980]

Is it possible to change the transmitter to use amateur radio frequencies?

[@harmleyten4]

Help! What signal do i use for a long range rc car? I want the signal to penetrate walls as well

[@labstream4122]

Hey, nice video! A little remark: at 2:17, you say the pulse-width is between 1000 and 2000 ms (but: 1000ms are one second). What you mean is microseconds (µs): 1000 µs = 1ms, and the pulse widths of modern servos are between 1 and 2 ms. And you say you map 1000-2000 µs, but in the code you only map 1100-1900, why is that? Keep up the good work, I always enjoy your videos!

[@nikodembartnik]

Yes, you are right, I made a mistake. Sorry about that. I map 1100-1900 because those are minimum and maximum output values of my radio. I am not sure why but after some tests it turns out that it can't reach full 2000.

[@eddieruzzi]

Hello. I am trying to make your drone but using a Black Gladiator & an L298 Driver Board. I see activity in serial monitor but the motors won't spin. I have scoured the net and seen many other KZbin vids & I have tried different lines and pins but am wondering if there is a tweak to your code that will get this to work. While I have been an electronic & IT tech for years, I am only now getting into Raspberry Pi and Arduino robotics so I am very new to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@eddieruzzi]

I have a Motor Shield I could use instead but the video shows how to set it up for BlueTooth and I would rather control it like your drone using my Flysky FS-16

[@no-wing7229]

I have vg6000 i want it to have Bluetooth so that i can connect it to my phone. How can i do it?

[@longthanh8091]

Can the tank go backwards

[@JedidiahRudnick]

I'm making an arduino Tank as a school project. I should also mention that I've never used arduini before. I should also mention that I'm in way over my head

[@ollieinman152]

what shield does he have onto of the Arduino?

[@liemfpv9721]

Can it Will work with flysky gt2?

[@luiztureck]

is there the complete code to go reverse as well?

[@C_Haberstoked]

Very nice. I got it to work. No reverse? Trying to figure it out...

[@Mbee16]

Awesome bro! Do you perhaps have code as to how to translate turning on a 3ch remote into tank steer?

[@DFX2KX]

You know... I never thought about doing that with an RC transmitter/receiver. I have this exact same Flysky TX. Programming it is a nightmare, and I've got no idea where the programmer got to...

[@vantakulasairam5401]

what's the motor driver used?

[@biafra13743]

How can i add ultra sonic sensor to this.

[@muhammadajmal2380]

Thats fucking awesome mannnn

[@VISHALGUPTA-lt5ly]

nice work.can you share the circuit diagram about it

[@stephenlalot687]

Hello, have you got reverse?

[@iksanmaulana1295]

hai...how to use another button excp analog control? tahnks

[@TheSuperSewcio]

2:50 you should a card for this video

[@nikodembartnik]

Thanks, added!

[@MRAXELGRINDER]

Awesome

[@prasannalaxmi1249]

Can you please make it with speed controlling

[@thedocdodge]

Could this be done with Spektrum or Graupner radios/receivers?

[@nikodembartnik]

Sure, you can use any radio

[@thedocdodge]

Awesome! Thanks! Time to get researching then.

[@fouzanjaved5441]

Sir, nice video about how to control the RC radio with Arduino. Sir, can the 6 dof robotic arm tank chassis be controlled by Xbox360 wireless controller that would be super awesome, we can easily control the 6 dof robotic arm tank chassis controlled by Xbox360 wireless controller. Sir, can you make the 6 dof robotic arm tank chassis be controlled by Xbox360 wireless controller, also can you give me the circuit diagram and the codes for the 6 dof robotic arm tank chassis to be controlled by Xbox360 wireless controller, is it possible? Sir, tell me. Sir, answer all my questions.

[@RogerioSilva-tn5px]

Because The pins 7,8,12,13, don't change.

[@sjoerd4307]

U need A better microphone, but great video!

[@nikodembartnik]

I do, I also need a new camera, but soon Canon should announce some new mirrorless so I am waiting for that. Thank you!

[@alexrydeen2987]

Could I do this with a normal adafruit motors shield

[@nikodembartnik]

Sure without any problem

[@alexrydeen2987]

@@nikodembartnik another thing what pins would I put the reciever to the analogs and would I need to change the code ?

[@nikodembartnik]

it depends on the adafruit shield pinout. You have to connect 5V, GND and signal pins to the Arduino

[@alexrydeen2987]

@@nikodembartnik I have 5v and ground connected to the receiver like you said then I have ch1 connected to digital pin 9 and ch2 connected to digital pin 10 . I then check the serial monitor to see what's going on and it shows that the digital pins are receiving the signal but when I plug into the motors it doesnt drive the motor and the chassis does not move .

[@ithaajja5724]

where is the schematics ???

[@edwardthebest9958]

This robot is great. I want to make one too but i don't know what pins do I need to use

[@marn200]

edward the best the pins you need to use depend on the software you write for the hardware.

[@vantakulasairam5401]

Can you share the Arduino code

[@nikodembartnik]

You can find it on my GitHub

[@vantakulasairam5401]

will the code work for all types of motor drivers ??

[@tharindubalasooriya2388]

can fix it l298 motor shield with pwm

[@icanseeyou2004]

thanks i can use this to drive a skid steer robot with a 2 channel rc car controller .

[@ravirajnaik1605]

L298n can drive 6 motors?

[@ChaosBasedForm]

I think it can only handle 2 (up to 35v), the l293d motor shield can handle 4

[@mazherhussain6297]

Bro I need your help

[@softyan]

Hello my english its bad but i am understand .... please you can do a paper...

[@joetke]

is there some kind of latency?

[@nikodembartnik]

For sure there is some kind of latency but it is very very small I think. Unfortunately I don't have tools to measure that :(

[@joetke]

latency is a feeling then it's quite subjective. Nice job Nikodem!

[@SianaGearz]

Usually FlySky units should be up to around 25ms or so? Usually a good bit less. Until you start hitting end of range and you get packet loss, the apparent latency will shoot up.

[@MERCURYMAD]

8 BATTERIES!!!! Whyyyeee!!??
