Remote controlled

hello i was watching the lates on hobby robtics on you tube and it had 100 things to build or something like that anyway the second one was to build a remote controll for your robot so you dont have to reprogram it every time you want to test something out. i have no idea how to go about doing this. i think he gave some information but i did not understand any of it. please could someone help.

p.s. i use picaxe if that makes any difference

Hi there,

Absolute beginner indeed! lol

I am building up a CCTV on legs, kind of robotic version. The legs won't move on their own (just mechanically)  but I would like to make a motion with the head part (cctv) and I am looking for something which could replicate, more or less, the movements of an human neck, then : left & right ( or better 360 degree) /up & down.All that controlled by radio!

Is that too much to ask or too expensive too concretise ?

Would it be possible to connect the output from a RC reciever to the digital input of a pcaxe 28x1 board and controll the motor outputs?

Of course it's doable, that's not really the question. But does anybody have any thought regarding it? Has anybody done it? I presume the signal out from the RC reciever is a standard Servo-signal. I know CtCpassed a signal from a RC reciever through his 28x1, but I don't wanna controll servos,I wanna controll a couple of DC motors.

I have this thing in the back of my mind that "the next step" for me must be my robots talking to each other.

Ok, My idea...

I have reason to need a bluetooth or r/f remote controlable powered wheelchair. To be able to remotely turn it on (& off) and manouvre it from an outdoor shelter over to a freshly parked car's drivers door.

What I have at the moment is just the base power chair:

What I wish to do as much as is possible is to leave the current set-up as it is, and to add the propsed r/c system to work along side it.
