RC Controller For Arduino

Projects General Guidance

I didn't know exactly which category to put this in.

I was wondering if you can use just about any kind of wireless RC controller in an Arduino project. I know you can use a TV remote and have done it but I want to use RC controller.

I am building a self balancing two wheeled robot, that's why I want know about this. I considered just buying one and trying it but I figured I might get some info here on what kind would work. I have both WIFI and Bluetooth modules I can hook up to the Arduino.

Yes.

You need to find out what kind of communication link the RC controller is using. RF ought to be the most common one. The range of both Wifi and Bluetooth especial, is a lot shorter.
You also need to know the protocol used. It's likely more sophisticated then a TV remote.

Thanks for the help. I really like DroneBot's videos.
