Title: Arduino project
Post by: Coyote on July 18, 2011, 02:05:39 PM
Hi guys, im wondering if an Arduino can accept a ppm stream ( well i know it can ) but add 2 or more channels to that stream and output it ?

Or could it read a nun chuck, and be used to translate the data to ppm channels to work as a slave tx ?

Im still waiting on a chip that could do it, but then i wondered if an Arduino pro mini could do the same thing but better ?

Yes - easily supports that. Funnily enough I was going to do a similar project. Might still one day when others have finished (!!)

Hi
Im sure nunchucks use I2C to communicate so the arduino will easily handle it.

 I have done a few projects with arduino and there is usually someone that has done the groundwork for you
There is a Wii nuncheck library here that will simplify things

Have you had any experience with the arduino?

Seems the answers are here :)

Good to see you getting on with 'avin' a go with Arduino :P
