Use a R/C Remote and Receiver for the First Time

The scope of this video guide is to familiarize you of how to connect and do a basic setup of the following components:

- Remote controller

- Receiver - also known as RX.

- UBEC - universal battery elimination circuit.

- ESC - electronic speed controller.

- Electric motor.

- Servo motor.

- Li-Po battery.

- LED Light.

The remote controller - also known as TX or transmitter sends your commands using radio signals.

The receiver - also known as RX is device that receives the command from the transmitter.

There are a lot of models which have varied features, but most noticeable are:

- Number of channels.

- Working frequency.

- Number of command switches and axis.

The UBEC (universal battery elimination circuit) is a wide voltage regulator, which can have a variable input voltage but will always output a fixed and user set voltage. It's commonly used to power electronics such as receivers, cameras, servo's, etc.

The ESC - electronic speed controller has the ability to control the speed of an electric load (motor) based on the commands it receives from the RX module. The most common way to do this is by using switching technology and PWM - modulation.

The Electric motor has the purpose of converting electric energy into motion :)

The Servo motor is generally used in R/C cars as steering, in robot arms as actuators, in R/C plans as elevators, etc. It has an internal electric motor, reducing gears and a position sensor to know it's travel distance.

The Li-Po battery is our chosen power source because of it's high energy density. Just be sure to follow it's safety guidelines which are extremely important !

A high power 1W LED Light was also used for visual feedback.
