Addicore partnered with Steve Koci of DIY Animatronics to create this kit. Steve is a writer for SERVO Magazine and has had his animatronic articles published in the book The Ultimate Guide To DIY Animatronics. The DIY RC Controller is featured in an article written by Steve in a recent issue of SERVO Magazine.
The DIY RC Controller is a general purpose RC controller and receiver based off of the ATmega328P and the nRF24L01+ 2.4GHz Wireless Transceiver. With 2 XY joysticks, 2 slide pots, 6 buttons, and 2 toggle switches, the DIY RC Controller gives you many different ways to control animatronic displays, puppets, robotics, vehicles, drones, and much more!
Out of the box the included Arduino sketches allow for the control of 6 servos and 6 digital outputs. There is extra IO on board the receiver that can be utilized if you are willing to roll up your sleeves and tweak the code.
The kit comes with 1 FEETECH (Fitec) FS90 9G Mini Servo and 1 Boffintronics RC Receiver Recorder board to get you started. Additional servos or standard receiver boards are available.
The DIY RC Controller is powered by 4 AA batteries (not included) or you can upgrade your controller with our 2x 18650 lithium battery holder.
