# 🛩️RC Controller

This project is an ESP32-based RC controller that allows you to control RC drones via the NRF24 module and also use it for drone simulators on a PC through Bluetooth.

Тhe controller is not quite ready. I will add more features.

## Features:

- NRF24 Communication: Control real RC drones wirelessly using the NRF24L01 module.

- Bluetooth Connectivity: Seamlessly connect the controller to your computer for use with drone simulators, providing a realistic flying experience.

- Customizable: Modify and expand the code to suit your specific needs, whether for different types of drones or simulators.

- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works with various flight simulation software that supports Bluetooth controllers.

## ⚙️Instalation

* Open .ino file

* 📚Instal these Libraries

  ~~~

  - RF24

  - BleGamepad

  ~~~

* Edit the pins for your Board

      #define throttle_in 2

      #define yaw_in 4

      #define pitch_in 34

      #define roll_in 39

      #define pot1_in 35

      #define pot2_in 15

      #define toggle_1 32

      #define buzzer 12

      #define led 0

      #define ce_Pin 17

      #define csnPin 5

     ~~~

* Upload the code to your Board

* Upload the data folder to SPIFFS.

  - To upload the data folder, you can use PlatformIO or you can upload with tool for Arduino IDE v1.x.x

  [Here](https://randomnerdtutorials.com/install-esp32-filesystem-uploader-arduino-ide/) is documentation how to upload files to SPIFFS with Arduino IDE.

  

## Usage:

* If you want to use the controller with NRF24 for a real Drone, you need to start the controller with AUX1 at HIGH Position

* If you want to use the controller with Bluetooth for a Drone Simulator, you need to start the controller with AUX1 at LOW Position

## Hardware Used

- ESP32 Wroom

- NRF24L01 RF Module

- 2.8 TFT Display

- 12 x Buttons

- 2 x MTS-102 Swich

- 2 x 10K Potatntiometer

- 2 x Joysticks

- Mini Buck Converter Module
