Link to the WIKI!
For the past decade, people have been bodging together tiny radio and IR recievers for use in R/C airplanes. However, with the exception of a few commercial designs, work has been in so many branches that no real progress has been made. Of the few working designs, documentation ranges from lousy to nonexistent. And, from what I can tell, the same questions get asked and answered again and again and again.
In an attempt to fix that, a fellow RCgroups member by the name of Cpt. Frazz has started a Wiki on DIY reciever design. This is useful for many areas; replace the H-bridges used for the electromagnetic actuators (Yes, we use coil-and-turning-magnet actuators) with bigger H-bridges, and you have a perfect platform for a wireless micro-tank. Add a camera to the the data input on a Nordic 2401A tranciever, and you've got a UAV electronics module with onboard microcontroller in addition to remote-control functionality. And so on.
If you're familar with wireless data transfer, SMD electrical design, microprocessor programming, RF engineering, or anything else remotely related, please post and give us a hand. At this point, we're starting from the ground up; feel free to fill in everything from basic radio formulas to FCC regulations.
