Hi Picaxe,
I wish to use Picaxe to remote control a car. I wish to create a new controller, and there are several motors on board (please see diagram)
I need to use a module to transmit the signal to the car. As you can see from the diagram, Rotary switch 1 operates motors 1 - 4 simultaeneously: one click of the switch moves each motor a fraction, similar to a stepper motor, but without the accuracy. Reversing the rotary switch reverses the motors.
Switches 2 and 3 operate a steering mechanism. Each sequential click of switch 2 rotates motor 5 (and possibly 6) one way. The other switch will rotate the other way.
Switch 4 and 5 operate another motor, though this is similar to the above, though perhaps with limit switches, ie a single pulse will rotate x degrees until the limit switch.
I hope to use pwm for all these motors.
1. Can I use one of these? https://goo.gl/QomNQf
2. How many will I need? (Is this related to 'channels'?)
I think that's all for now. Any help or thoughts gratefully received!
