I have uploaded a new Arduino library for Infra-Red controlled models, such as 3 channel helicopters and others.
The library works with a range of different models, such as the cheap Chinese 3 channel co-axial
helicopters commonly availble on the internet and elsewhere. Works with Diecimila, Duemilanove,
Mega and Yellowjacket (and possibly others).
The library consists of a base class that provides basic infra-red modulation etc.
It may be subclassed for specific models and protocols. One subclass for 3 channel helis is provided.
Sample programs are provided:
- for controlling a helicopter with a Logitech joystick or similar on a Linux PC
- for controlling a helicopter from an iPhone using my Arduino RCRx library and the RCTx iPhone app from
the Apple store.
Sample circuits diagrams for connecting Infra-Red LEDS are included.
