RoboteQ AX500 manual C Operation, C radio control mode

Mode Description

SECTION 10 R/C Operation

This section describes the controller’s wiring and functions specific to the R/C radio control mode.

Mode Description

The AX500 can be directly connected to an R/C receiver. In this mode, the speed or posi- tion information is contained in pulses whose width varies proportionally with the joysticks’ positions. The AX500 mode is compatible with all popular brands of R/C transmitters. A third R/C channel can be used to control the On/Off state of two outputs that may be con- nected to electrical accessories (valves, lights, weapons,...)

The R/C mode provides the simplest method for remotely controlling a robotic vehicle: little else is required other than connecting the controller to the R/C receiver (using the provided cable) and powering it On. For better control and improved safety, the AX500 can be con- figured to perform correction on the controls and will continuously monitor the transmis- sion for errors.
