Wow, this thread has been active for (almost) 2 years! [ch61514]
I have read through the entire thing, and I have learned a lot, which also means that it has raised a lot of questions.
Can I use this decoding method if I OR together several RC receiver channels together with diodes? Here is a schematic of what I am thinking of. I took it from the wiki page on diodes and modified it for my plans.
http://www.vinceherman.net/robot/media/OrDiodes.JPGI have successfully decoded individual channels using attachinterrupt on 6 channels. But that maxes out the number if pins available on my Mega for using the attachinterrupt. I would rather just use 1 pin, even if it is just for 4 channels. In the future I am sure I will want more channels.
I guess I need to go through my box'o'parts and see if any of them are diodes. If not, where do I order, and anyone have recommendation on what type? I have not ordered much in the way of individual electronic components.
Am I on the right track?
Where can I get current versions of the ServoDecode library?
