Hi everybody,

my query is how to control a servo motor by using a potentiometer joystick connected with a tx arduino and received by another rx arduino module??? (Actually I am using a standard low cost 433MHz FM tx/rx modules..)

All are appreciated

THANKS MATES

Would you say a bit more?

Have you got the Arduino's communicating over wireless?
What sort of servo is it? Is it a model, battery voltage thing?
Do you want the servo to move with the joystick?

Hi there,

Actually i am using two arduino modules of atmega168 microcontroller, and my joystick is 2-axis potentiometers ( just as a normal potentiometer), and about the wireless components:

and I want to to send a signal from the joystick to the arduino transmitter and this signal is received by the arduino receiver which includes the servo ( small toy servo for aircrafts and boats )...

Thanks and sorry for any missings..

I have to ask the question why you would want to put the lag and potential failure of two lots of software into a system, when a cheap R/C transmitter / receiver pair will do the job better and more cheaply?

engineer_bas,

I don't know how much you are willing to spend, but look into DataBridge modules from Starman Electric. They would do exactly what you need, but the price may be higher.
