Hi! Can we control a bldc motor with a joystick and RF 2.4Ghz module.I am making an arduino quadcopter which wanna control using 2 arduinos RF module and joystick.whait would be the coding.I found one old topic for controlling using potentiometer but I just wanna make a RC hence want to control using joystick how can I do that(this is the old topics address **[http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=242365.15](http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=242365.15)**) any help would be gratefully accepted.Cheers

> Can we control a bldc motor with a joystick and RF 2.4Ghz module.  
> Yes. You will need a driver for the motor.

> You would typically use an Electronic Speed Control (ESC) to drive each of the four motors.

> Read the joystick with analogRead(). Send the data to the other Arduino. Control the motor speed with the Servo library (the ESC acts like a hobby servo).

I got my nRF24s working with this [Tutorial](http://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/Nrf24L01-2.4GHz-HowTo)

I suggest you use the [TMRh20 version of the RF24 library](https://tmrh20.github.io/RF24/) - it solves some problems from the ManiacBug version

The pair of programs in [this link](http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=381973.msg2638162#msg2638162) may be useful. They have been abstracted from a system for controlling model trains.
