I've really enjoyed playing with the Arduino in the few days I've had it, and now I want to interface it with an RC receiver/controller I've picked up. The receiver has 6 channels, and there are 7 sets of 3 pins, one row labelled Batt and the other with each respective channel. Can anyone briefly explain the layout of the pins? Is power required on each row, and can just one row power the entire system? What are the pins from left to right?
The three pins represent power (+5vdc), ground and PPM signal output for that channel. It's only nessesary to apply power to one of the +5vdc pins to power the receiver and enable all the output signals, same applies to the ground terminals. They are laid out that way for direct connection to 3 terminal connectors that come with R/C servos, that require all three connections to operate.
