    -------------------------------------------
    In this video, we build an Arduino-based Grip-style (Pistol-grip) Radio Transmitter for controlling custom RC vehicles.
    This 3D printed hobby-grade radio transmitter has a comfortable feel and grip while being straightforward to build and use for anyone looking to control cars, boats, or any other vehicle that takes throttle and steering input with the adaptability of Arduino hardware.
    This home-built RC transmitter is ideal to make if you're looking to use up some spare components and your 3D printer. A great DIY alternative for controlling Arduino-based DIY RC vehicles with lots of flexibility in programming and peripheral options.

    I have a suggestion for improving the transmitter's performance. It would be great if you could consider using higher-quality joysticks, as the ones in the video seem to change values suddenly when moved. I recommend using a high-quality PS4 joystick for better results. 🎮✨

    This particular NRF24l01 module has a maximum range of 100 meters in open space and limited transmission to 256kb/s. There must be a good antenna for this. To obtain 1 km of range as you write, you need NRF24l01 modules described as 500mW. Five years ago I made a radio using this module and a micro receiver on NRF24l01+ in the SMD version.

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Před měsícem

      Okay, well I muse have exceeded the maximum range as the transmitter had the power amplified NRF24 module and I was in an environment with very little interference.
      I've actually heard of people achieving 1KM+ with just two regular power amplified NRF24L01's.

    Excuse me max, could you be able to make such an rc car that has a pair of receiver and one more transmitter onboard the car so where the range gets over, the car can release its sender and extra receiver so they can receive and retransmit the signal to the car, and hopefully DOUBLE the range [and the best part is that would be soooo COOOOL).

      Hey there! I assume this would be possible with the existing transmitter-receiver setup if a second transmitter is introduced.
      I've never tried this before, but I'd assume it's possible if the radio line codes are the same for the receiver to decode.
      That way both transmitters could simultaneously control one receiver. (Maybe).

    I used something similair for controlling servo's but if I switch really fast with the PWM to turn, it burns out.

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Před měsícem +1

      That is most likely due to you exceeding the rated pulse width in ms (milliseconds) of your servo. Generally, the minimal pulse will be about 1 ms wide, and the maximal pulse will be 2 ms wide. However some servos have a max pulse width of 1.8 ms. You may have exceeded it.

      Hey, Kytherus! From what I've read, the CH340 driver works for the Nano. Read more about how to install drivers here: bromleysat.com/arduino-nano-ch340-drivers-installation-guide
      You can use any joysticks with potentiometer values between 5K ohms to 100K ohms. I would assume they can work.

  • @GTvideoHD
    @GTvideoHD Před 13 dny

    Hi, I already made this project, but I have a little complaint about using the nano, or uno.
    Don't you feel like the pwm or the analogread functions, increase too fast using those joysticks / potentiometers?
    In my case I feel like I don't really have to much control, as the pwm signal goes up/down really fast.
    Also is the same thing with the servo, like you just need less than the middle capacity of the potentiometer to get full drive or speed...
    I tried to stabilize it using map or calculating the average value, with 20 to 50 (i++) in for cycles. And yes the more iterations you add, less time to response you have, but it responses better.
    Is there any way to increase the performance of analogreads itself? Like a way to get better "resolutions" when reading them?

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Před 12 dny

      Hi there. I also have the same complaint. My servos and other motors tend to ramp up and down too quickly and in a jittery way due to the low resolution. I haven't yet tried adjusting the PWM values, but will give it a shot in my upcoming project to see if this can be solved.

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Před 27 dny +1

      Awesome! To mix channels and adapt this transmitter's controls to a tank, you'd need to make more changes in the code than anything. E.g. When you press the throttle trigger, 2 variables in the code to drive both motors forward needs to be activated and same but reversed for when you steer. I suggest you research this topic further on forums, there are people who can help further. Hope this helps guide you to the right answers. Cheers.

    Having used NRF24L01+ modules myself, the range on them is never as good as claimed, especially not if they are random clones.
    Random clones can have loads of issues with how they work.
    If you just need to control a vehicle I would recommend looking into Express LRS (ELRS) which is commonly used in RC transmitters and is open source and has very good range (50-100 Km for high powered transmitters) but even low power ones will get very good range and transmitters and receivers are available cheaply. If you decided to go for ELRS then the majority of the project could stay the same, just swap the NRF24 for the ELRS transmitter and then use a normal PWM receiver.

    • @MaxImagination
      @MaxImagination  Před měsícem

      Thanks for your insights and suggestions, Conor. However, I have no issues using the NRF24L01 modules and they work reliably as long as I'm supplying stable power to them, I personally can't complain about their range for hobby-grade use.
      For controlling drones, I may consider upgrading to ELRS. Would you know how such receiver connects to an Arduino-compatible board?

    Using a single current limiting resistor for multiple LEDs is not a good idea, the current will be split between the LEDs so if you have one LED on it will be full brightness, two on will only be half brightness, four on will be a quarter brightness. Resistors are cheap enough you could have used one resistor per LED.
