![]() You may have to calibrate your ESC to your values from the pot, refer to you instructions for that. Also, MAKE SURE YOU XRF/XBEE MODULES ARE NOT TOO CLOSE, this happened to me and it took me a very long time to realise, they cannot connect if they are too close. Test with just a servo first for example, then move onto more. You can test with a wired connection by connecting each arduino's Tx to Rx on the other, bypassing the XRF/Xbee. Make sure the throttle is set to 0 and no prop is in when you are testing. I connected everything together and powered up the transmitter, then receiver. Servo horns (I used balsa, cut and drilled).Pushrods (for the servos, can be made from bicycle spokes).Speed controller (ESC, make sure it is suitable for the motor (brushed/brushless)).RC Electronics/parts (if you don't have them).Male and Female header connectors (0.1").USB to TTL UART connector - Used to program the Pro Mini as well as the Xbees or XRFs.These breakout boards are also very cheap, (go for active as they have 3.3v regulation on the power and data lines) and you can use a serial connector to program the XRFs. 2 Xbee module - I did not use Xbee, I used these (XRF), which are cheaper alternatives, with 500m+ range, operating on the 433-900MHz band.RC plane (prebuilt or scratch built) - if you have all the electronics then you are good to go.
