    You mean with a radio transmitter? Yes it's been done many times. The radio receiver is tied to Stamp input pins; one for each channel. Then PULSIN is used to measure the pulses coming from the transmitter/receiver combo. These will correspond to standard RC values (1ms-1.5ms neutral-2ms, or .5ms-1.5ms-2.5ms if extended range).

    What you do with the values from the transmitter is up to you.

    I suggest putting a 220ohm or so resistor between the receiver pins and the Stamp pins so that you don't cook a Stamp pin if you accidentally make the pin an output.
