Share My Creation JP eRemote --> 8 channels RC radio

Hi,

This is a follow on of my previous thread "Control a RC plane with a joystick".

The code is pretty much the same, but that time, the App is controlling an ESP8266 board.

The firmware of this board directly drives up to 8 RC servos

So you can control almost any RC system (servos, brushless motors, ...) for less than 5$

The ESP8266 exposes its own wifi hotspot on which the phone can connect.
Transmission is done in real time thanks to the speed of UDP protocol.
Alternatively the ESP can connect on your home wifi network.

This App wouldn't have been possible without BA4 community and specially @wonder generic gamepad library. Thanks :)

Here is a video with only 3 servos (no more in stock !)

I have tested this configuration with a range of more than 50m in open air conditions. You can find ESP8266 with a "physical" antenna, range should be even better (3dB more, twice more range ?)

Hi freedom2000
Thanks for sharing.. bright and thoughtful work
I always wanted and still looking for ways to hack the drone built-in controller and communicate with it by generic radio.
I want to replace the current controller that I presume it's optimized for RC devices.. with a new onboard controller.
Do you have any idea?
