Differing Protocols for Transmission - an Explanation
Posted: Thu Jan 09, 2014 3:26 am
Greetings,
I started back into RC models by buying a simple infra-red controlled helicopter and moved up the scale to a RC helicopter (2.4GHz Hammerhead) to a single blade helicopter (2.4GHz Micro Heli Arrow) and to a small Quadcopter (2.4GHz JD-385) and finally to the Spy Hawk which is also 2.4GHz.
The Question is.... why can't I control all of these aircraft with the same controller? What is the system used to encode the signal for each? Has there been a tutorial on the subject via one of those fine YouTube video's?
I have learnt that my HUBSAN Spy Hawk H301 also uses a proprietary system - how is this different to the most common system used?
Going forward, please will you advise on the best and most common TX (s)in use and most especially the matching RX (s), servo's, UBECs and Speed Controllers. In this range will all receivers work with all transmitters other than the proprietary Hubsan? I am also interested in matching FPV equipment as I assume that the Hubsan equipment is also non-standard.
Before the Govt. imposes further taxes on our imports, I wish to purchase a swag of stuff including a AXN Cloud Floater ARTF and fit it with these standardised components.
Bruce - is there such a video on this subject? I am slowly watching them ALL as time permits and have not come across such a beast.
I like what you are doing and support you in your endeavours to simply earn a living from this hobby.
