For those building their own remote controlled devices like RC boats and quadcopter drones, having a good transmitter-receiver setup is a significant factor in the eventual usability of their ...

Finally, mount the LED indicator (optional) somewhere on the model so that it can be seen clearly. Below you can find the circuit diagram (v1) of my RC Kill Switch. It’s designed (hopefully) as a ...

No doubt, this device will help you to locate your downed model RC planes. Similar to other traditional designs, this circuit plugs into a spare servo socket on the RC receiver. Since the alarm sounds ...

RC receivers are 5 VDC and draw very little current, so it’s even possible to power the whole arrangement from the USB port. On the software side, the Arduino sketch does about what you expect.
