Abstract

This paper presents interface between personal computer and radio controlled helicopter model through an electronic component – microcontroller board. The communication is established through USB interface. The paper describes philosophy of manual RC model control and exploitation of a classical RC model transmitter for con-trolling an RC model through the computer. Collection of feedback data and GUI for controlling the helicopter are also described.
