DIY Arduino based RC Transmitter

Parts list (check website article for full list, affiliate links):

In tutorial we will learn how to build a DIY Arduino RC transmitter. Very often I need wireless control for the projects that I make, so therefore I built this multifunctional radio controller which can be used for pretty much everything.

Excellent build as always! Really loved how you handmade the acrylic enclosure. That'll give extra confidence to all makers who watches your video but don't have expensive CNC machines.

[StephenHoldaway]

Nice build! If you wanted to add more controls, you can save 7 bytes in your data package struct just by defining the buttons as a bit field - all you need to do is to specify the number of bits with this syntax:

struct Data_Package {
byte j1Button : 1,
byte j2Button : 1,
byte button1 : 1,
byte button2 : 1,
...
}

This is one of the best DIY videos for rc transmitter and receiver i have ever seen. I have already made this project and it works flawlessly. I am commenting now but i watched this video in August 2020 and made the project at that time only. But i watched this video even now and it’s still relevant to the time and you won’t find an easy tutorial than this. Cheers to this channel 🥂. Keep the good work up.

The PCB looks so good. Great project, well executed. Thanks for sharing.

[rvlad]

Great one, I think your projects are better than many commercial products. Keep sharing these things with us.

I am so glad I have found your channel. I have a project that I've been kicking around in my brain and can't find anything straight forward enough to execute it. I think this will change with your videos. I essentially want to make a simple joystick with transmitter to control two motors just like the car you built. They will be substantially bigger, as I am using power wheels motor to make essentially a remote control tank....

I will definitely be going through a lot of your stuff. If you have any pointers or specific videos you think would help, let me know if you have time. Thanks so much for posting your content.

I had no idea that there was such a user friendly service that offers this opportunity.
I just subbed.
Thanx
Marc :)

[GNARGNARHEAD]

that is the clearest explanation of the NRF code I've heard yet, cheers

[rotorblade]

The transparent design is very nice, pcb’s look very cool, not hiding them is a good idea

[lluvik]

this makes me wish i could smash all of this knowledge into my own head in a single instant and also do all of these awesome projects

[wolfgangbruehl]

This was the first of your videos I just watched. It did not take me long to hit the Subscribe button. Thank you for some great information.

[xprojetos]

I need this circuit, can you give me arquive gerber ?

[eng.mosabkhlefat]

One of the most useful channels in the YouTube.
I learned a lot from it

[TheSolderingGuy]

OMG you cut acrylic by hand! I thought it was Laser cut. Fantastic job!

[danmoscaliuc]

In have never seen anyone make a transmitter so clearly and clean. Other projects of transmitters looked like raw bricks

[mjqgccz]

First : thank you.
Second: please can you tell me what is the capacitors value ?

[adarshshetty]

I stopped to look at this video seeing how cool the setup looked. The whole setup video was fantastic. I'll definitely try to make this. Keep making such fun projects.

[sNoBeAsTo]

This is amazingly structured. Extremely easy to follow. Thank you

[bobmcbob]

heads up to anyone that is actually building this...
-the parts list does not have ALL the parts
-the toggle switches are not the right kind
-and there is a 99% chance that you will have to redo the PCB board because the arduino pro mini does not have the right locations of pins(even though he mentions it, you might miss it)


anyways good video, and I really love how easy these tutorials are to follow

WHAAA!?!?! Where was this at the beginning of December when I started sourcing and designing my own transmitter over my holiday break? I have basically ended up with the exact same hardware minus the MCU.

I will be taking a bunch of inspiration from this one. Thank you very much
