Remote servo control, some assistance pls
- 04-10-2005
Hi All
I am looking from some solutions to use as an alternative to standard
hobbyist radio control equipment.
I would like to replace what I have with a remote system that I can
set the maximum radio output of, and select a frequncy to use.
The purpose is for control of servos over limited range low power
radio control point to point, about 100 ft , controlling various
angles of a DSLR camera on a pan and tilt mounting..
The camera is remotely positioned from the controller and the
viewfinding is done via low power 2.4ghz downlink.
Id like to make a more proprietry system that has more lattitude for
control of it with respect to its output and selecting a legal
frequency under our LPFM class licence range.
Rather than hacking up radio control gear which I have done already.
The rest to remain much the same as a 6 channel radio controller.
Some ideas or pointers on wireless servo controllers would be
appreciated.
Cheers
Dave

Re: Remote servo control, some assistance pls
To effect the range of the transmitter
I have done this with the RC gear, simply dropping the input power
reflects a reduction in output range, but is limited in how low I can
go.
I want less range but cant drop the power on the RC gear since the
circuitry ceases to function at a point..
RC gear is limited to a number of frequencies that dont meet the range
I wish to operate in to satisfy the class licence here for low power
FM transmitters.
Those are the only two factors I need that I cant get from a standard
hobby RC Tx off the shelf I currently use forthe purpose.
