RC Plane V-2 (Receiver)
Today I am going to make the receiver part of the RC plane with the NRF24lo1 module. if you did not checked the previous version of it (V-1 Transmitter). Then you must have to watch it before this because that had description about everything I am building. So Let us start your project Receiver!
RECEIVER COMPONENTS
The things you need to build the receiver is given below:
- 1x Arduino Nano R3 (you can use any Arduino board).
- 1x Nrf24lo1
- 1x AMS1117 5.0 (5 volts regulator)
- PCB board
- male header
- 1x 100uf 25/50v capacitor
- 1x 10uf 25v capacitor
- 1x 22uf 16/25v capacitor
Receiver Circuit Diagram
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM EXPLANATION:-
First, I solder Arduino Nano R3 on Zero PCB board. And programming wires.
Then I solder the NRF module with wires to the Arduino Nano according to the circuit diagram and you will also need to connect 10uf 25v capacitor on the 3.3v and GND of the NRF module
Lastly, I connect INPUT and GND of Arduino Nano to the positive and negative of 7.4v Li-po battery
WIRING DIAGRAM:-
Arduino>>LM7805
- INPUT>> Positive of 7.4v Li-po battery
- GND >> Negative of 7.4v Li-po battery
Nrf24lo1>>Arduino
- VCC >> 3.3volts of Arduino Nano
- GND >> GND of Arduino Nano
- 10 >> CSN
- 9 >> CE
- 13 >> SCK
- 11 >> MOSI
- 12 >> MISO
RC Receiver Code
There is no code for the receiver that we made today. But I have made a RC Plane with this transmitter and receiver. I will soon post a instructable about how to make a RC plane A-Z step by step so please follow me for this new new projects. However, the receiver is not be a universal receiver; you will not be able to use it for every hobby-grade toy because for the transmitter. The transmitter has 5 channel so the highest channel for receiver is 5 channel but if you want 7 or 8 channel then you will have to upgrade the transmitter channel and you will also have to upgrade the coding for the transmitter and receiver. The plane thet I have made has only three channel and has a 20A brushed motor esc and has 7.4v 900Mah Li-po battery. I will describe the RC plane more in my next instructable which is gonna be about Rc plane with homemade transmitter and receiver.
