# LowcostRC

LowcostRC is low price remote control system based on Arduino.

    

    Transmitter with nRF24L01 module

## Hardware

The following main components are used for the transmitter:

- Arduino Pro Mini as main MCU

- nRF24L01 or ESP8266 as radio module

- 0.96" SSD1306 OLED Display

- Two 2-axis joysticks

Receiver can be build using Arduino + nRF24L01 or a single ESP8266.

## Transmitter features

 

- 8 control channels

- Pluggable radio modules (nRF24L01 or ESP8266)

- User interface with monochrome display and 3 buttons

- Multiple profiles (models) can be stored in EEPROM

- Using UI it's possible to change various control and radio link parameters

  like channels mapping, trimming, double rate, radio channel, radio power, etc

- Maximum transmission packet rate is about 270 packets per second on Arduino

To compile and flush you need Arduino IDE or Arduino CLI. In order for the

compiler can see the libraries you need to copy (or make symlinks)

`lowcostRC_*` directories to Arduino libraries directory.
