Build an Arduino Radio Transmitter & Receiver for RC Aircraft & Vehicles

Hey everyone! In this video, you get to build your own Arduino-based (up to 7-CH) Hobby-grade Radio Transmitter and Receiver/Controller pair from scratch with NRF24L01 for any RC Models such as cars, boats, planes, and even drones. Closer to the end of the video, you see how a robot car is controlled with this homemade Radio control setup!

Hey everyone! The comment section has finally been re-enabled over the whole channel after 2 years by YouTube themselves who shut it down in the first place. Glad to be in touch with my viewers again! :)

[arduinouno]

the video i have been looking for for years thank you very much for this video please continue this work

[sengkeasorm]

You teached me a lesson is capacitor, thank you.

[Yashgamot]

This is the full detailed video, thanks MAX sir :)

[akshaykodi]

I searched many videos on youtube but this one is the best in designe and simple explatation and explained how to add more channel for future use :D

[marekcermak]

Thanks for great video, so the NRF24L01 works as Transmitter & Receiver, that is great. Now i just need 2 of those :)

[boomville]

Thx thx greatest tutorial on YouTube ! You made it so easy to make thx ☺

[turtlesxd]

Bruh how does this guy not have at least 100k subs?

[paulstubbs]

Amazing, I have all the parts at arm's reach! that has to be a first for me.
The only bit I'm a bit dubious on is running the NRF modules from the Nano's regulator, I've found these to be quite fragile and easy to kill.

[sienbuilds]

I like your homemade transmeter and reciever

[SomeoneatArmy]

Heyya, i found this very very useful as Flysky i6 is proving to be very expensive for my project. Can you please explain how this model can be used in the controlling of a drone and how should i code according to it?

[mundycustoms]

ive built the transmitter and reciever but ive downloaded the code and its not working idk if the code is correct or not but is there anything i can do to check it

[sailjusa]

Now I will make my own Rc transmitter and receiver thanks

[brindhasenthilkumar]

Fantastic max, my son is 10
years old, he is crazy on these stuffs.
Are u taking any online sessions.

If no u should start to share ur skill set, and this will bring exponential max to this universe.

Great job, be healthy to do more like good work

Cool video!
One thing I want to clarify is that trick with capacitor. I have recently tried connecting 2 such nrf24l01 modules, but with no luck. I only managed to make them communicate once and never again. Then I saw this trick, so now I have ordered the capacitors and will see if it works.
I am just curious if it is normal that these modules fail to communicate without capacitors?
I thought that the presence of the capacitor is not that critical, so it is more about making it work better, but not about making it work at all...

[timmyg]

This is just what I needed.. thank you for the free code...
I hope u get loads of subs...

[CosmoSimpDragon]

hey! this is great but can it work with bldc motors esc and 4 servos?, i dont know how to do this stuff so i can really appriciate some help

[lampfall]

Thanks 🙏🏼, since 15 days I was looking for this

[muhammadmahad-srsx]

just 1 question, what is the name of that metal glue or whatever you are using behind the pcbs?? please help

[Alihaider]

At 9:51 the battery u used how do u charge them?
Edit: u know the module which have the voltage booster and charging module both in one module can I connect battery and jumper wire to it so I can power the Arduino receiver ?
