VEX RC with Arduino

[badtkee]

Hey Everyone,

I'd like to build a R/C robot using the VEX 75MHz transmitter and receiver and I was wondering if that is compatible with the Arduino Uno or Mega microprocessor boards?

Thanks for the help!

I'm working on the next revision for this board to submit for distribution but you can download the schematic and build your own for now.

I was going to say not without some sort of interface, but it seems that someone has already designed one, how convenient. I love open source stuff.

Alternatively you can clip off the RJ11 connector and connect to the wires directly. There is a library called ServoDecode which will handle interpreting the pulses from the VEX RC receiver.

Thanks for the help guys!
