| Jul 31, 2012 at 15:18 | comment | added | Toast | I want to do something like press a button on my pc that makes the arduino send a signal to the controller to make the car steer to the left. So the arduino code has a variable like from 0 to 255 while 0 means left, 128 is center and 255 is right and it does a analogWrite to set the pin. And my question referred to what the circuit needs to be between the arduino pin and the remote control pin. | |
| Jul 31, 2012 at 15:17 | comment | added | stevenvh | @drxzcl - " unplug the potentiometers and put them on two Arduino pins so the Arduino can control the remote control." That's what my answer gives a solution for. Again, if he means something else he simply has to say so, but IMO that's what he's asking. I can't read it in any other way. | |
| Jul 31, 2012 at 15:12 | comment | added | drxzcl | To control the car, wouldn't you want to "write the potmeters" (assuming such a phrase makes sense) of the remote instead of reading them? | |
| Jul 31, 2012 at 15:10 | comment | added | stevenvh | @drxzcl - In comment he says "The purpose would be something like controlling the rc car with the pc or phone." So I tell him how to get the potmeter readings to his PC. The rest is outside the scope of this site. I will hear it if he wants something else. | |
| Jul 31, 2012 at 15:08 | comment | added | drxzcl | I thought the asker wanted to actually control the car through the arduino, not log the controls. Or am I misunderstanding your answer? | |
| Jul 31, 2012 at 15:05 | comment | added | stevenvh | @drxzcl - I don't know. What's missing? | |
