![]() I'm also not using any dual/rate settings and will be using stock linear curves. Feel free to explore as it has a lot of great information to learn to fly a rc plane or heli. Go ahead and map these channels how ever you like and if you only have a 4 channel radio don't worry about it as I don't make great use of the auxiliary channels. I didn't have to change any defaults on the transmitter other than mapping channels 5 to 8. I decided to go with Mode 3 because it's easier to remember where the channels are mapped on the transmitter. See the following link for an initial understanding. I'm not going to name the channels by what they control and will be using the channel numbers. Here is where things may get muddy because of the way I'm approaching and using the radio system. 7) The red led on the receiver should stop blinking and remain on within five seconds. The TH9X's bind button is located on the radio module on the back of the transmitter. 6) Once you see the main screen on the transmitter release the bind button. 5) Press and hold the bind button on the Transmitter as you turn it on. Do not turn on yet! 2) Install bind plug into receiver. Required Materials: Transmitter Receiver Bind Plug Batteries/ESC Servo How to Pair/Bind your Receiver to your Transmitter: 1) Install batteries into Transmitter. I'm not using an ESC and will use a lantern battery but any battery pack should work if the voltage isn't above 6.5V. Before I give my method to pair the receiver to the transmitter there is one difference if you are using an RC car/plane! In an RC vehicle you will plug in your LiPo battery into and Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) and use the ESC's Battery Elimination Circuit (BEC) to power the receiver. Come to find out you have to turn off both the receiver and transmitter to complete pairing. Third, I was getting the remaining two receivers to pair with the transmitter but wasn't getting any output on any channel. Second, was learning how to pair the receiver with the transmitter as two receivers went up in smoke because I wired the plug on a wall wort backwards! Stupid mistake but I did say a sense of humor is needed. However, if you connect the battery to a channel you then wouldn't be able to use than channel for output unless feeding the signal into a microcontroller. First, the label of the R8B receiver the BIND and BATT locations are switched! You can plug the battery in anywhere since the voltage and ground pins are on common rails. There were a few hurdles I went through mainly because I didn't double check what I was doing. I bought the TH9X as my first radio system and have had never used one that didn't come with a car attached. If you like my work here please vote for this instructable in either the Arduino or Remote Control Contests!!! Thanks Lets start with what I'm using for hardware: Radio Control System: FlySky TH9X Transmitter & R8B Receiver Microcontrollers: Arduino Uno Arduino Mega2560 Servos TowardPro(knockoff) MG996R Analog Servo, Futaba Compatable - Modded for continuous rotation Batteries: 6V Lantern Battery - Reciever & Servos 9V Battery - Arduino 1.2V NIMH Rechargable AA Batteries - Transmitter Materials: Proto-Shield Dupont jumper wires Cardboard Elbow Grease Sense of Humor - Trust Me If anything is confusing feel free to ask questions and I will do my best to answer them and update the instructable accordingly. As I continue with other phases of the RC Tank project I will post more Instructables as I continue. This project is quite involved and I will only be posting my introduction to RC control with the Arduino platform in this Instructable. Second, is when someone is showcasing their project instead of educating us and sharing their wealth of knowledge. I'm doing this for two reasons, first is that when I was learning the basics I would always stumble across these really cool projects that I couldn't do because of lacking introduction information. ![]() ![]() Unlike other Instructables or blogs, I will include all the information I can even if it isn't directly related to the project. In this instructable I will bring you along on my journey of learning how to add RC control using an Arduino microcontroller.
