This is an Arduino compatible open-source hardware that includes 2 x Joysticks, NRF24L01 RF module, Atmega328 microcontroller, 3.3V regulator, power LED, function LED, Arduino programming connector, and other required components. This board can be used for the development of various applications such as Gaming, Remote RC servo driver, Robotics, and many more. Connector CN3 was provided to program the ATMEGA328 microcontroller using Arduino IDE.

The project is compatible with our 8 Channel RC Servo Driver Over RF Link using NRF24L01 RF Module as the receiver or the DC Motor Speed, Direction and Brake Control with NRF24L01 RF Module. The user will be able to drive 4 RC servos with this transmitter or a DC motor respectivelly.

Code

A new ATMEGA328 microcontroller requires a bootloader to be programmed using Arduino IDE and then upload the firmware, more information is available here:

Example code is provided to test the board, with this code the project works as a transmitter and drives 4 Servos.

Note: Remove NRF24L01 RF module when programming the board as its share the same Pin connections.
