Hi
How would you connect a R/C plain reciever to a BS2 so that servos connected to the BS2 would work with an airplane remote control?

    BOB55,

    You cannot use a plane (plain) RC (72MHz) with a ground device such as the BoeBot.

    Ground devices like the BoeBot require the use of a 75MHz transmitter/receiver combo.

    Just a thought.

    Regards,

    Bob, try not to post in more than one forum, it's confusing.

    Hi you should use 75 MHz surface radio
    I am asking some of the same questions mainly to shut down to a safer mode when out of range

    Have the output of the RC reciever go to an I/O pin of the BS2. Use "PULSIN" to read the I/O pin to get the "commanded" pulse-width.

    Hi all,

    Attached is a BS2 program that will allow an R/C combo to control the two BoeBot servos or anyother bot that uses a servo input to control its motors.

    I have successfully used this program to skid steer a four wheel rover using a pair of HB-25s.
