![]() ![]() 5) Press and hold the bind button on the Transmitter as you turn it on. Do not turn on yet! 2) Install bind plug into receiver. Required Materials: Transmitter Receiver Bind Plug Batteries/ESC Servo How to Pair/Bind your Receiver to your Transmitter: 1) Install batteries into Transmitter. I'm not using an ESC and will use a lantern battery but any battery pack should work if the voltage isn't above 6.5V. Before I give my method to pair the receiver to the transmitter there is one difference if you are using an RC car/plane! In an RC vehicle you will plug in your LiPo battery into and Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) and use the ESC's Battery Elimination Circuit (BEC) to power the receiver. Come to find out you have to turn off both the receiver and transmitter to complete pairing. ![]() Third, I was getting the remaining two receivers to pair with the transmitter but wasn't getting any output on any channel. Second, was learning how to pair the receiver with the transmitter as two receivers went up in smoke because I wired the plug on a wall wort backwards! Stupid mistake but I did say a sense of humor is needed. However, if you connect the battery to a channel you then wouldn't be able to use than channel for output unless feeding the signal into a microcontroller. First, the label of the R8B receiver the BIND and BATT locations are switched! You can plug the battery in anywhere since the voltage and ground pins are on common rails. There were a few hurdles I went through mainly because I didn't double check what I was doing. I bought the TH9X as my first radio system and have had never used one that didn't come with a car attached. If you like my work here please vote for this instructable in either the Arduino or Remote Control Contests!!! Thanks Lets start with what I'm using for hardware: Radio Control System: FlySky TH9X Transmitter & R8B Receiver Microcontrollers: Arduino Uno Arduino Mega2560 Servos TowardPro(knockoff) MG996R Analog Servo, Futaba Compatable - Modded for continuous rotation Batteries: 6V Lantern Battery - Reciever & Servos 9V Battery - Arduino 1.2V NIMH Rechargable AA Batteries - Transmitter Materials: Proto-Shield Dupont jumper wires Cardboard Elbow Grease Sense of Humor - Trust Me If anything is confusing feel free to ask questions and I will do my best to answer them and update the instructable accordingly. As I continue with other phases of the RC Tank project I will post more Instructables as I continue. This project is quite involved and I will only be posting my introduction to RC control with the Arduino platform in this Instructable. Second, is when someone is showcasing their project instead of educating us and sharing their wealth of knowledge. ![]() I'm doing this for two reasons, first is that when I was learning the basics I would always stumble across these really cool projects that I couldn't do because of lacking introduction information. ![]() Unlike other Instructables or blogs, I will include all the information I can even if it isn't directly related to the project. You need not restrict yourself to powers of 2.In this instructable I will bring you along on my journey of learning how to add RC control using an Arduino microcontroller. What you can notice from the syntax is that you can use this function to map a number from any range to any new range. For an 8-bit number, the min and max values are 0 and 255 respectively. This is because a 10-bit number’s minimum value is 0, and maximum is 1023. Thus, if I need to map a 10-bit number to 8-bit number, Syntax map(value, 0, 1023, 0, 255) Where, value is the value to be mapped fromLow and fromHigh are the bounds of the range of the current value toHigh and toLow are the bounds of the range of the new value. Syntax map(value, fromLow, fromHigh, toLow, toHigh) A 10-bit number would occupy 2-bytes for storage, whereas an 8-bit number would occupy just one byte and still preserve most of the information of the 10-bit number.Īrduino has a readymade map() function for achieving this. One example would be mapping the 10-bit ADC output to 8-bit to save on storage. Mappings often have to be performed in Arduino for a variety of reasons. ![]()
