my friend hooked a controller up to a pulse controller and it worked well. only problem is that his box was bigger than the controller and it wasnt easy to adjust. one of these days were gona order some motor speed controllers chips. i just sent him the link to all this.

no shit! :D Tiny definately has a runnaway site on his hands.....

I want to put this circuit into a pistol-grip like housing like a lot of RC controllers. Then I'd use a connector at the base of the grip to be able to plug into the various controllers I have. The best mod would be to plug this into a 4-channel controller and it's then propo all the way.

Just one question, since I've never owned a pistol grip controller I'd like to know which way is fwd/rev on the trigger? Pressing the trigger towards you forward? The pushing it away from you is reverse?

cheers,

ph2t, pistol grip, you're exactly right.
most have a button just above your thumb too for a brake.
I love pistol grips - cuz you know... I'm an American, I pack heat going to Wal-mart! :P

you might need to design in a flip switch.
Some controllers 'Reverse' button drives cars 'Forward' and vise versa.
Or since it's human controlled...just adjust the setting in your head.

It's still in development. Not finished yet..... :???:

If I can make it into a consumer level product I will sell them. But I intend to make the FINAL circuit public, as I have in the first post. Spread the knowledge I say!

Do you have any way to change crystals on that, or is this just for bit's?
