RC Essentials

The Goal of this Project is to build a PWM to PPM Converter with an Arduino Pro Mini or similar Boards.

This helps to reduce wiring in RC-Models and increase the range of Functions for controllers like Naze, Multiwii and so on.

i managed to push the limits of an ATMega328 and added 18CH PWM input and output which makes it perfect for a Hexapod servo controller and many other projects that require more PWM than usual recievers/converters can give.

Features:

Input

• 18CH PWM
• 8CH PPM
• 18CH SBUS (you might need an inverter)

You can add own inputs e.g. via

• Standard Serial UART
• I2C

Output

• 18CH PWM
• xCH PPM
• 18CH SBUS (again you might need an inverter)

You can add own outputs e.g. via

• Standard Serial UART
• I2C

General

• PWM-input smoother/filter
• offset for all channels

There is still room for custom code e.g. for signal-modifications during conversion.

Please use this with causion since not every option/combination is tested yet!
