Reading PWM Receiver Signal Using Arduino 

Nicely done. Just what I was looking for. Very much appreciate your time and effort expended in this effort.

many thanks, just wanted a simple way to get my board and receiver talking and after alot of overly complex explanations your's did the trick!

I'm working on an ECX Circuit model RC. What I'm trying to accomplish is: 1. convert 2 channels (aileron+rudder) into one steering channel 1a. aileron=strafe 1b. rudder=steering 1c. strafe will add difference from center of aileron then subtract that value via the Arduino clock, therefore simulating what a real car does to change lanes 2. convert 2 other channels (throttle+elevation) to one drive channel 2a. elevation is forward/backward drive 2b. throttle is maximum speed

thank you so much, this video helps me a lot. Now i can switch my led on and off on my quadcopter using remote

i have been searching for this for a very long time! EXCELLENT!!!!

thank you very much I was looking for a pwm signal reader and it helped me a lot to simplify my code

Well explained. Just what I was looking for to build an arduino led controller for my plane. I played the video at 1.5 speed though

2020 and still relevant ! Thank you !

Great I’ve been looking for ages for code that can read a PWM signal, thanx

Man, myass belongs to you. THANKS a lot ! Greetings form Mexico

thanks bro it was too simple than i though bery very thank you

Thank you so much.Greetings from Turkey

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

Kamran Ahmet Very good work I tried it on Radiolink AT 10, it worked great. Thanks bro.

Hi Kamran, very good explainations...i'll try it because i didn't know how to do this....good video...thank's a lot...Phil

Just what I was looking for! Thank you!

Excellent explanation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Hi Ahmad, thank you so much for this tutorial. Easy to understand. Great work!

Great job, can I connect a servo at the output of the arduino and veil interpreting these signals?

thanks a lot man, easy & quick, just what I was need!

Got the code to work with my Turnigy 9x! thank you

Hi Kamran, i get 4 channels on my Delta8 receiverthen i add another one ( the sixth) to plug a servo..for this moment i get 5 responses on arduino serial monitor (115200 bauds )....more important i understand what the arduino do....! great thanks to you Philippe

Hi friend, very well explained. But I saw a video of your previous explaining about the interruptions. I use the Arduino pulsein command, but I do not know if you already tested it with this command? It takes too long wend not a signal !! Turn off your radio and implement a messaging routine, for example, to see how long the response time takes when there is no signal. I tried to do an if check : if (digital read (channel1, HIGH)) {Time = pulsein (channel1, HIGH)} He does not accept this type of verification. There's a video explaining about the interruptions and the 4 ports. How can you post a code explaining how to read 4 physical channels in arduino ?? The other video reading ppm on a single channel is great !! Thank you

Please can you create a new video about sending recived pwm signals to servos ? Thanks

hi Ahmad i've just discovered your video which is very interesting ...i've understand some things and i get a good result with my X8r receiver on Arduino Nano...4 channels run with your program and i get the variables about 1500 to 984 or 2050 etc... when i move the sticks on my Taranis Plus...but when i plug only with Sbus ... + on Vin ( arduino ) then - on GND ( arduino ) then the Signal from receiver to arduino i don't know exactly where i have to connect this yellow ( or orange ) wire ...and i get Nothing... thank's for your next answer Philippe

hi Kamran, very good job...but is it the same wire to connect a X8R receiver with Sbus and arduino nano...? Thank's a lot

Hi, thank you so much for posting this video. I have a strange issue however where the arduino runs incredibly slowly if I upload this code (tried on a nano and a mega). My output println only displays about once per second. The arduino's are fine with other example sketches. Any idea what may be causing this?

Nice one. Now, I have an idea how to perform it using cortex.

Great video! Very clear and well-made. Thanks.

Hy!! Many compliments for your tutorial. Is there a way to receive the pwm input directly in a raspberry pi, rather then an arduino board? I need the raspberry because i must use a linux distribution to make other stuff with the pwm input from the receiver of my drone's remote. Many thanks

Hey man,just wanted to know if are u using this to make the Arduino as a receiver?Total newbie here.

the tx you are using include a ppm out pin and a ppm in pin . on the main board inside. if you connect the tx out on the transmitter and solder a wire . can you see the same readings?

Nice sir. Very clear explanation thnksalot. I've one doubt How to turn on led or relay useing this signal by one moment of the joystick.

Just what I needed, thanks. :)

any reason why you used a double and not an int?

Most excellent. Thanks Kamran.

Thanks for the video, very helpful

I love you for making this video

can i genirate tow pulse signals and controle the dutu cycle of each one ? in real time ? for example the firste signle start with 5V the second start from 0 at time 0s. and thanks for eplication.

So easy to understand i love it

Super, you opened my eyes :)

Amazing,,, Very rare tutorial.. This is very usefull..

is it necessary to connect the Reciever signal pins to the PWM pins of the Arduino or it can also work by connecting with the digital pins??

once you get those values, how do you write them to receiver, would you be using analogwrite?

Nice video, but how can I use pwm signal to set pin High or Low?

Great video - thank you!

Good instructional video! But how to translate the rc pwm signal to 0-5Volt out signal??

Can I set these times as binary 1,0? Suppose 8ms high is 1 , 16ms high is 11, 8 ms low is 0. Like these.

Can I do that with an external ADC ? I mean, I do realize it's useless to do that, but still I wanna try it out once my board comes.

can you please help by adding the "if" and "else" code in this function acoding to the value of recever

Thanks for your video. It helped me with my project.

U are the best . How we can get ppm out and make ppm in

hi friend, exelent proyect! I need read the code wltoys control transmitter... can I use this program for that?

Thank you bro ! Appreciate it.

For your next challenge, read a sbus receiver.

Can you tell me how can we read the values directly from the transmitter directly and send it to another receiver like nrf24l01 or other

im working with a coin reader that releases a pulse width after a coin is accepted could i read it if i did the same thing as you did in this video?

this is exactly what i was lokking for, thanks a lot :)

thank you very much. i use hubsan H320f transmission and RX i connect 2 channel on rx with arduino UNO as you do in your vedio.but the serial monitor shows both channel are 0 us.and when i disconnect the GND line , both channel change a lot 8000-10000.Do you know what is the matter ?

Thank you for this. Can you show us how to take the input signal now that you can see it in the serial monitor and then convert it (map it) to a servo signal to send out to a servo?

also, pls tell me how to calculate the phase difference between these receiver signals?

Thank you, great tutorial !

great video!!! you got a subscriber. :-)

do you know how to control ppjoy or another virtual controller with these numbers? tks

Thanks! Very helpful

I did push the like button and sub to your channel You are awesome bro :)

i m working on tilt arm quadcopter , so can i use this values for rotate the servos using map ()

Perfect! You my friend, are subbed!

nice job, thank you!

If I write "myservo.writeMicroseconds(channel[0])" It will send value of PWM to other controller?

Question, how do you write these PWM signals to control the servos, using the transmitter to control the servos like a knob function?

Good explanation

How can I save and output the same signal to another pin on the board.

I did it but have some problem motor is every time going to forward not going to back and the second channel ( I put the motor ) is turning to right dont turn to left (my english is very bad I am Turkish ) please help me

Good vid

thank you buddy, super easy

Hello, is it possible the program it while joystick is middle position , pwm is %,0 , Down side %50 , up side %100. If possible I can remote caterpillar skidloader ;)

how do I use the PWM inputs to steer a servo motor?

hi kamran , can u teach me ? how make it to acces motor driver and servo on arduino with a Tx Tgy 9x . please, show me. thank's .

I used your code but the PWM signal does not print out like yours instead it jumps crazily from 0 -> 10000, what was the problem?

u have a beautiful pen

دمت گرم داداش

this works well! thank you

thanks a lot very help full good luck

what is the unit of these values shown?

I used flysky i6,, but do not get value from 1000us to 2000us range. Instead, unstable values from 80 to 10000us. Tell me the cause and how to fix it?

Thank you Sir

Sir how can I write this input signal as same as output Pls help me.

Thanks For this....

what's the point if you end up with these huge fluctuations, I feel as if this is an unreliable solution because of how un-precise it ends up being

very goog very good

thanks bro

Can I take from arduino, PWM with duty cycle 20% and frequency 10Khz or 20 khz???

how can reading the impulse from the meter electronic

and how to output mode from arduino to receiver fs ?

good job broh

Thank you!

thank dude!

Change the name to "Reading Multiple PWM Signals Using Arduino" Easy to find how to read single signal, but more than one not. I skipped this video few times because i thought its about single PWM signal. Big Thanks.

Thankyou
