4ch RX board.
04/28/2023 at 15:17 • 0 commentsIf I use the 4 analog lines for soft servos an 8CH rx could work.
still need to look over the design a bit, can you find the vias I forgot to remove?

Update. It was the caps!
04/19/2023 at 10:45 • 0 commentsReplaced the advil caps with a couple electrolytic capacitors of the correct value...
It Works!
- Hooked to a single AA + 5V boost module
- 260 - 300 mah from the AA = about 10 Hours per cell
- Oled at Full brighness
- Tx speed is up. 15Hz at idle (no conection)
- 70 Hz! Connected! (with no serial output.) did I count wrong in the code?
Will figure out a basic case and add Trim adjustments for the joysticks.
3/4 axis are off by +3...
Having multiple remotes should really speed up my other projects.
Now I can have more customized code on both rx/tx.

This was supposed to be the easy part.
04/10/2023 at 09:06 • 0 commentsThe new pcb was easy to solder in about 20 minutes, expecting it to just work I added the oled code and got the analog values displaying...but the wireless signal won't connect.
of course first I just had the wrong pin set on one...but the other... idk
Even without making a connection the speed is off. the only difference being the oled which updated only 2/3 times a second.
- The nano remote is hitting about 15-16 hz.
- The micro remote is hitting 8-9 hz.
Looking closer I think it could be a simple passive component.
- The mcp1700 3.3v reg needs 2 1 uF capacitors. Micro Farad. (ran out of these)
- atmega328pu Oscillator needs 2 22 pF capacitors (tons of these...)
- I thought i was only off by a bit then I remember the advil caps were the wrong prefix.
I was off by 500,000x.
at least I hope this is the problem...because idk...
but to make it more strange rx board with the same caps seems to work fine with the test remote...

PCB = Prototype circuit board.
04/09/2023 at 00:35 • 0 commentsOther project rely on this one so I need it in a better working condition. its also 10000x easier to make multiples...
The nano-rf combo was supposed to make things easier..but they never really caught on and now their hard to find...
- For the test remote A0/A1 had an interference problem. so its a working mess...
- V1 has more parts:
- analog joysticks solder on directly
- breakout the unused pins for trim/button/pot.
- I2c output for oled to have a menu/remote calibration.
I'll design a full case when I decide on the extra i/o bits. i think a switch and/or button will give enough options with the oled and the js switches also.
