The Hitec Laser 6 is perfect for remote controlling your wheeled or walking robots. This RC set comes with ground frequencies so you won't crash-up your neighbors airplane.
Controlling Walking Robots
This equipment was designed to remotely control the position of the output shafts of four servo motors. The four motors follow the position of the joystick as it is moved about in real time. The transmitter reads the position of the joysticks and converts them into pulses, then transmits them sequentially to the receiver. The receiver then separates the pulses and routes them to the proper servo output channels. The servo motors respond to these varying pulses to produce the appropriate movements. This system works very well and has many robotic and animatronics applications, however a different approach is needed to control a walking robot. To control a walking robot the microcontroller needs to know where the stick is positioned in order to know which direction to instruct the robot to walk. Instead of plugging in servos, simply route a common ground and the two signal lines, usually associated with the right stick, to the BASIC Stamps I/O pins. Then we utilize a powerful PBASIC command called PULSIN to read the pulse length. The chart in the data sheet shows the pulse length as it relates to the stick position and is typical of most RC equipment. By doing some simple conditional jumps the behavior can easily be controlled from a distance. The programming for the Lynxmotion Quadrapod and Hexapods has already been done for you!
Controlling Wheeled Robots
This radio can control H-bridge motor controllers such as the Hitec SP-560, HFX-R, or the Vantec RET-411H by plugging them in directly. Controlling differential steered vehicles from one joystick is pretty easy.
