Comments on: My Radio Controlled Tank (with videos !) http://www.5volt.eu/archives/42 A mean to organize, document and share some of the things I do Sun, 27 Jun 2010 17:51:32 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: admin http://www.5volt.eu/archives/42/comment-page-1#comment-233 admin Thu, 26 Mar 2009 07:45:27 +0000 http://www.5volt.eu/?p=42#comment-233 @Mykl, Going RC seems to be the most natural thing now. Because you say you know nothing about microcontroller, I understanf You don't have the equipemnt to program, debug and upload the code to the micro, going ready made is probably the most effective and eventually cheap thing to do, IMHO. There's a plenty of speed controllers on the market, you'll need two of them and they cost 15-20$ each. The connection to the RC and the servo depend on the RC radio, on the servo and on the speed controller in between. Google for RC radio speed control or something and you'll find hundreds of "how to"s (another keyword to Google for). Best Alessandro @Mykl,

I already have it running via cables and rc is the next step. I was thinking about going the easy way and putting in a cheap ready to use reciever bit now having second thoughts... One or two questions if i may, (and I know nothing about microcontroll) it looks like you have a standard rc plug going into your controll board, is this power input? If I were to go the ready made reciever route, will I need a speed controll? im alittle unsure of how to hook up the motors with only 2 conections (+ and -) to standard rc reciever with +, -, and the white controll lead. any help would be great. Good work and thanks for any help. Mykl Nice,
