PC Plod Build/Upgrade Log

[callumhoy]

I've been looking into different 2.4ghz transmitter/receiver pairs over the past few days and I've come to realise that I lack the ability to realise which controllers would work with PC Plod. The robot works off of effectively tank controls, both wheels forward to go forward, both back for backwards and one each way to turn, so both motors can spin both clockwise and counter-clockwise. I know we'll need at least 4 channels, possibly 6, one for each wheel motor and one for the weapon. Plus one spare left over, probably to be added to a srimech when we eventually add one.

So my question to all those with knowledge is this, what sort of things should I be looking for in a transmitter/receiver? Will any of the ones listed below actually work for my needs?

1) Radiolink 2.4GHz T4EU 4 Channel Transmitter Radio & Receiver
2) Radiolink T6EHP-E 2.4G 6CH Transmitter w/ R7EH Receiver
3) FlySky FS-i6 6CH Transmitter + iA6B 2.4GHz 6CH Receiver with Telemetry

If you need me to give more information let me know, I'll give what limited information I can.
