Re: EduBot Help, RC Controller

ok, Let me first make sure I understand the parts your working with, it looks like a 3-channel remote control setup. yea, you can make this work, gonna take some programming, and some creativity. I'm thinking you can take the 3 pwm outputs from the receiver, and hook them into the analog imputs. your going to have to program the controlor to understand what to do with the incomming signals, like analog input 1 could be for throttle, so, when you push the control stick foward, the range increases on the edubot RI and by programming, tell the motors to increase in speed. I've never done this, but I think something like that would work. My reasoning is you have analog outputs, so put'em in the analog inputs, program it to understand the users input commands, and enjoy. I'm interested in seeing this work, I have a similar transmitter, and receiver unit around here somewhere, Maybe i'll try a similar setup and see what happens. My guess is it will work.
