I’ll show you the principles of this control, which is pretty well the same as any inexpensive 2.4 GHz unit. We’ll then hook it up to a few servo motors to see how it operates on its own. But the real fun comes with attaching an Arduino to the receiver, and I’ll show you two ways of doing that. The first way is to connect each channel’s output to an Arduino Uno and read the pulses generated by the receiver in response to the transm
