RC Servo Switcher

http://www.waitingforfriday.com/index.php/RC_Servo_Switcher

The servo switcher is designed as an aid for anyone who wishes to convert a remote control vehicle into an autonomous vehicle, in my case the project is a sailing boat, however the design can be easily expanded to work with cars, planes or helicopters.

The servo switcher allows manual fail-over control of an autonomous vehicle using the original radio control system.

great.....

I want to make turn signals for my rc car and I am getting interested in Atmel microcontrollers. do you have any advice on how to program or what to focus on. I mean in the beginning I thought it would be done by ADC in atmega16 but then the signal out of the receiver was weird so now as you mentioned PWM. now I think I should focus on PWM and fight a bit. what do you say?

@5h44my - Take a look at my RC Servo Processor project to see how you can use/modify the PWM output from an RC receiver. You could use exactly the same principle for controlling lights and other add-ons. The output from RC receivers is a PWM signal so you need to use a capture/compare module rather than an ADC.

@5h44my -You might want to look into the Arduino system.

This is brilliant!

I will look forward to making one of these myself when I get the budget.
