cheers Brian,
i've got mine wired up so the ardiuno is only powering the mosfets gates. That way they should handle alot more currents(thats my understanding but might be wrong
) .
Sorry Dave forgot to answer your question about how its controlled.
basicly there's a template file to read up to 4 rc channel inputs. Think c3p0 posted it.
then to turn leds on for example you would enter something like this into the void loop in the template.
RC_CH3 would be the input from the receiver to arduino. the number would be the signal. normally that would be 1000ms to 2000ms.
void loop(){
if (rc_values[RC_CH3] > 1800) // leds on
{
digitalWrite(poww, HIGH);
}
if (rc_values[RC_CH1] < 1800) // turn leds off
{
digitalWrite(poww, LOW);
}
hope that makes sense
. took me a long time to figure it out from video and websites as they were only telling you how to read the receiver signal or it was for autonomous and not what to do, but with the help of people on here it some fell into place
.
it gets a bit more complex when controlling the speed of a motor but now i got a working file, i just cut and paste. I think for the cost of one £3, it worth a play and if you or anyone else do get one and get stuck, we'll help out :) cheers
