Easy to make cheap RC boat and a 6 channel RC transmitter with Small OLED that can display realtime telemetry Data such as boats power , current draw, motor Driver temperature and batter voltage
-
TX set up
Code for the transmitter can be found under /RC Boat/Transmitter
Parts
- Arduino pro mini ( or Arduino Nano i like the small form factor of the pro mini)
- 0.96" OLED SSD1306 ( I prefer the i2c version - less wiring)
- 2 x cheap Joystick with pushbutton
Charging circuit
- 1500mAh small lipo
- tp4056 lipo charger
Note : if using Arduino pro mini make sure to buy a USB to URAT converter like FT232RL/CP2102
So bad at creating wirining diagram so this :(
