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!

Is the 3.3V voltage regulator mandatory since the arduino nano has both the 3.3V pin and the 5V pin so it can be conected to the nrf module and all the servos or motors.

@MaxImagination 3 ай бұрын

hello, thanks for this video i made the transmitter and receiver and their is a connection between them but i have a problem no channel on the receiver is resetting to 0 for example if i connect a led to a potentiometer CH the led doesn't turn off if the potentiometer is all the way down but i can increase the brightness of the led when i move the potentiometer up even servos don't move or the motor on esc ,i can control the throttle but not turn it completely off. the same happen with switches can't turn of a led but can increase brightness of led when turned on. please if you have any idea tell me thanks in advanced :)

I tried to make this transmitter and receiver and my wirings are correct, code is uploaded properly and it is getting enough power but the servo attached to receiver is not working. Can you help me ?

@MaxImagination 4 ай бұрын

Sometimes servos tend to stop working due to a break inside where the wires connect to the board, could you check that? If not that, then I suggest you hook up a multimeter and measure if you're even getting a signal from the Arduino's pins. It may also be your transmitter's NRF24l01 that's not transmitting. It may help to add a 10 microfarad capacitor to its 3.3V power terminals.

What type of servo are you using? Have you checked the outputs with your multimeter on the receiving end? I think your TX and RX aren't connected, actually. Make sure you're using a 10uf capacitor across the power terminals of each NRF module to resolve connection issues - or use a more stable 3.3V supply for them.
