Hey people!
I have this nice rc controller, and I wanted to use it to control my projects. Does anyone know how I can read outputs from the rc controller using arduino?
Thanks!
What is the RC controller? Is there a receiver (for servo signals)? A search for "reading rc receiver arduino" may answer your question. If not, please supply more details.
I am attaching a picture of the controller. It came with a drone, so I don't think that I could take the receiver.
Also, I have tried those searches, and bought a $10 rc receiver off of amazon. After following the directions exactly, the thing started smoking, so I decided to be done with that. :o Here is a picture of the drone it came with. (sorry about the bad picture quality).
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!!!!

If you have an RC receiver that works with your RC transmitter then it is possible to write an Arduino program to interpret the output from the receiver.
If you don't have a receiver then I don't think there is any chance of using the transmitter with an Arduino.
However it is not difficult to create both a transmitter and a receiver with a couple of Arduinos and a couple of low cost nRF24L01+ wireless modules. Have a look at this Simple nRF24L01+ Tutorial
And, in case of doubt, the nRF24 is extremely unlikely (like 99.9% unlikely) to be capable of operating as a receiver to your RC transmitter.

You think the possibility is as high as that ?

When you complained to whoever you bought it off, what did they say ?

Maybe I was over-generous by a factor of 10 or 100.

Ok, thank you all for the help! I will try to create the transmitter/receiver like you said.
Thanks again!!
