    By remote, I assume you're referring to an IR Remote Control like those used with various consumer devices. If so, download the tutorial "IR Remote for the BoeBot" which discusses this in detail: www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=70016. There are links at the bottom of the page.

    Is there an adapter that would receive a RC Remote with 4 channels that would control motors just like regular RC plane or car. not something like a TV remote?

    Thank you for your response

    Parallax has a tremendous amount of documentation available. Browse the Stamps in Class tutorial list and the Nuts and Volts columns ... all under the Downloads menu item on the main Parallax web page. There's also great information on sensors and advanced math at www.emesystems.com.

    There's no ready made adapter for receiving RC remote signals, but several people have done this using a Stamp for "overriding" an RC receiver for training purposes. Search the "Robotics" forum for discussions.

    Basicboy,
    There was a posting in completed project about taking apart a Zip-Zap car and making it plug into a board on the BOE, or other prototype boards. It was used to control the Boe-Bot by the Zip-Zap RC controller. You can search for Zip-Zap in that forum, and you should find it.

    Google/Yahoo National Semi. LM1871 and LM1872.

    The RC RF TX/RX requirements are quite different then the Servo requirements.

    The RC transmitter timing requirements are in the data sheets.

    You should also read Parallax IR control for the BOE-BOT and Understanding Signals.

    http://www.parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/sic/WebIR-%20v1.1.pdf

    http://www.parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/sic/Signals.pdf

    The RC·signals can be captured and created in a similar manner as the IR signals from the Stamp

    Most modern RC receivers have a port that will accept this digital signal. It is called the trainer port.

    Good Luck
