Re: EduBot Help, RC Controller

from my experience in racing R/C cars, what you have is a 4 channel airplane radio with a reciever that has a built in ESC(electronic speed control), the 3 output 3 pin ports are for servos controling rudders and such and the 2 thick wires are for the main rotor. in my opinion, getting that module to link into the edubot is a big challenge and there are other options.
First- you probably want to invest about $40 in a 4-channel reciever(picture attatched) W/O all the built in ESC and such(the edu. controller does that for you)
Second- the radio you pictured looks like a air model, and the frequency crystals might be for air use only, in most states, it is illegal, although the cops arn't going to check your crystals on your gear, your conscience might nag at you...you might want to buy a set of ground, 4 channel crystals(picture attatched)

Both the reciever and the crystals can be found at www towerhobbies.com

Now, to get it running, you will need to find cables that will connect the 3 pin ports in the reciever to the R\C input ports on the edu. controller.

No power needs to be run to the reciever, but you will need to program the edu. board(far from my expertice...)
