Thread: Controlling bots with bluetooth

  1. #11
    Just my 2pence worth .......

    While bluetooth is 2.4 ghz , there are a lot of mobile phnes at the shows and i dont know if you could be in sole control of the robot via bluetooth as i sure it would get mentioned and someone in the crowed would be sure to try and have a go with there phone ... this doesnt happen with the spectrums ...


    Just a friendly comment (and something to test against )

    I know nothing about this gear, just saw it on their site, but for £36 it has to be the cheapest 2.4 GHz control you are going to get.
    OMG , live about a minutes walk away from smc, thanks

    If you are going to buy one of these, ask first if you can test its failsafe capabilities. When you switch off the transmitter the robot must stop working and a lot of these transmitters the channels will just continue doing what they were doing until the signal comes back.

    The failsafes still won't kick in if the reciever keeps giving out the last valid signal it gets, you need the reciever to either have built in failsafes or not give out a signal when it loses contact with the Tx.
