KAP RC Controller
Hacked a Hobby King RC system with an Arduino and components from Sparkfun.com to create a custom KAP Control system.
I'm pretty sure this is my first video on Flickr. (And kind of uncomfortable with that.) Anyway, I'm always working on some kind of new KAP control system but I rarely finish these projects. For once I actually have a new, finished, working system so here it is. I'll put together some additional information on how I built it in a few days.
In brief, it is based on a Hobby King 2.4 GHz R/C system. I used the receiver unmodified. From the transmitter, I removed the 2.4GHz radio module and transplanted it into my own system based on an Arduino processor. I use a thumb joystick for all control inputs: pan, tilt and shutter. An LED ring shows the camera attitude. This enables control when the rig is far away and I can't see the camera itself.
