I am using AR6210 receiver on my parallax Quadcopter(ELEV-8), but i want to generate the recevier's signal through my program so could anyone help me out of this that What is the Volatge levels and the PWM specifications of the generated signal of the Receiver(AR6210).

    Welcome to the forums!

    It's a little unclear what you are trying to do.

    Are you wanting to replace your receiver with a Propeller board for testing?

    YES,i want to replace the receiver with the propeller board.for that i want to know the voltage levels and the PWM specifications of the receivers output(Throttle Yaw Pitch Roll Gain)

    If you want to talk to the Hoverfly Open Board, It is expecting a 5 volt signal on it's inputs to the board through 10K resistors, as the Propeller's inputs are 3.3 volts.

    The timing, as it pertains to the Hoverfly is not know, as the firmware is proprietary. I'm sure they scoped it out to find that timing. I have no Spectrum equipment, so I am not able to do that.

    Don't know if you got this issue resolved, but there is a good book on the Parallax site, (Build Your Own Quadcopter):

    http://www.parallax.com/product/122-80000

    where the author goes through reading timings and such from a Spectrum receiver.

    I bought the book, and it is an excellent read.

    Have you tried feeding it standard pulses using a standard servo object?

    Shouldn't be any different than the code you use to move a servo, am I missing something?
