The first schematic that we`ll look at is the base schematic of the transmitter without any modification. The RC car`s transmitter circuit has two halves to it. One side (on the left) is pretty much all digital. When a switch(1-4) is pressed, IC1 becomes active and an encoded PWM (pulse with modulation) signal is output. The packaging for the tr

ansmitter required a 9v battery to be used. Since we`re wise in the ways of circuits and see that this circuit can operate as long as the IC has enough power to function, we`ll just use +5v off the LM7805. These switches control what the car does. Move forward, backward, left or right. Look carefully at where the switches are connected to ground. When the switch is pressed ground is connected. These are the key spots to making the microcontroller able to control what the transmitter outputs. We`ll see what connects to them on the next schematic. The crystal labeled X1 is actually a 27MHz oscillator. This will generate the frequency signal that the IC1 output will be modulated to (Toy RC cars are allowed to be on either 27MHz or 49 MHz frequency channels). The signal mixing occurs directly after the R4 Resistor approaching the output transistor (TR1). Output finally occurs after all that and is relatively low power (mW range). Understanding this circuit is not crucial to creating this project. Just a small note. IC1 is unknown. What exactly it is, is not directly clear as there is a nice glab of black crap right over it. My best guess is it is either a microcontroller or encoder as it outputs an encoded PWM signal to be modulated. If you switch the 3-way switch on the transmitter the encoding changes (this is to allow 3 cars to be able to be controlled simultaneously).
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
