Phoenix wireless Futaba&Spektrum

[SadSack]

Phoenix wireless Futaba&Spektrum working! Using the same hardware simple and cheap (freeware)

Guy on RC groups Richard smith wrote this few years back for wireless buddy box. Posted code for 4ch version for pwm~ppm stream for use in Quad copters. And I'd read info by xygax idea for wireless Phonenix. Up till then hadn't even thought but like where he was going with it. Will any here it is working. I've don't nothing really but get it working for me

Should work for other tx/rx combo's, DX7se for one should in theory could work for wireless buddy lead between different brand Transmitters!
Still wireless Sim is all i wanted.

Version are
Ch 4
Ch 6
Ch 7
Few rem's sure have anything in between
6 channel would work on 7 ch Rx but only give 6 channels but 7 Ch version will not run on 6channel. Something todo with way code works.

I'll try 7 channel version on Futaba 7ch weekend.
Parts:
PCB or not
Attiny 2313 x 1
servo leads x 4
2N7000 x1 ('ish)
and way to program MCU i'll happy to help...maybe others?
Codes free maybe thanks his way

Heres a picture..meassy but works

should point out that Spektrum user would only need MCU 2313 and servo leads. Cost under fiver!

hi phill
thanks for comming to the open day m8 hope you had a great day m8

what will i need to do this for my dx7 and how m8

[SadSack]

One of them ATTINY2313-20PU Atmel AVR 20MHz Flash MCU ATTINY 2313 on eBay (end time 05-Nov-09 12:48:28 GMT)

and 3 servo leads. I would suggest using 6 channel Rx can use 7 channel. I can program mcu for you. Do need to solder one lead on to sim lead. Power for rx comes off lead as well.

i really enjoyed it. Got me out my bubble for a change

[adieuk]

thanks m8 i will get one m8 and give you a shout

Would you be able to program an MCU for myself, I'd happily pay you for the service!?

[SadSack]

if you get that guy to send it to me and just cover postage from me to you? did you want spektrum only or both futaba/spektrum ?

That be brilliant and I'll add some more for a pint or two :P

It would just be for Spektrum... I presume it would work for JR too? Might consider the new alien looking TX ahha.

[SadSack]

i'll just add extra parts covers all types or so i'm lead to believe.

Very interesting, think I might have a stab at a PIC version of the code. After all reading in the servo ports is simple, getting the timing for the PPM stream cant be too hard once I work out a timer interrupt... hmmm...

some people on here are just too darn clever.....lol

Can't help you there, can't code atmel Well know enough that i alter code maybes but write it wouldn't have a clue!

Yes they are and lucky for us they like models too
