Re: Have some questions about an rc controller

We have used talons with an arduino (leonardo clone), no issues. Talons (and Jaguars and Victors and Spikes) use a 5V signal but control 12V power inputs and outputs. Our air cannon has talons on the drive motors (drop center 6-wheel, built on an AndyMark nanotube). We have a really small footprint remote unit, with just an xBee controller and the switches/joysticks, and an xBee shield on the robot side. We use smaller 5V relay modules for our pneumatics and LED controls, though spikes should also work.
