No I didn't search in my noob anticipation, but I was curious if anyones made their own Arduino or Raspberry Pi controller. I've seen a few DIY pages with toy grade Wi-Fi projects, but seemingly this could be a legit use for crawlers and other RCs you're never very far from. |

Wouldn't a raspberry Pi be way too big as an ESC? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk |

Are you asking about DIY remote controls or speed controls? For Remote Controls: - OpenTX is a very capable firmware to start out with. (https://www.open-tx.org/) -- It has compatiabilty for an Arduino Mega 2560 board -- Or check out these other options https://www.open-tx.org/radios.html - For pistol grip, the GT3B/GT3C use a STM8S microcontroller that's not too hard to work with -- You can start out with the psx 0.6.1 firmware https://github.com/semerad/gt3b For Speed Controls - Check out the Vedder ESC (Benjamin's robotics | A site about some of my projects, some tutorials and anything else I feel like publishing) - Texas Instruments also make Motor Speed Control Dev Kits (Piccolo Entry Performance MCUs | Design & development | C2000 Real-time Control MCUs | TI.com) -- Rendering below is a speed controller I designed for a school project a few years ago that uses A TI launch pad.

I make my own stuff, speed controllers , receivers transmitters and becs. Have done for all my rc stuff for years. I put most of it online and open source.. I am too cheap to buy brand name things.. You can find at least a dozen of my more recent designs here https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=696658 |
