What if your REMOTE CONTROL link could BUILD ITSELF?

This beginner-friendly project lets your ESP32 detect and set up every RC channel by itself.

Imagine your RC system configuring itself — no manual mapping, no guesswork, no spreadsheets. That’s exactly what this project delivers. Using the ESP32 RCLink Library, your microcontroller can now automatically detect, calibrate, and configure every RC channel in seconds. It works with popular iBUS receivers (like the Flysky FS-iA6B) and generates a ready-to-use JSON configuration that can drop straight into your code.

In this video, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Auto-scan and identify RC channels for sticks, knobs, and switches
✅ Generate configuration files with real-time JSON output
✅ Integrate RCLink seamlessly into Arduino and PlatformIO
✅ Connect your RC receiver using UART and logic-level conversion
✅ Use the data inside an RTOS framework for precise, multi-task control

You’ll also see how this fits into a larger Power Wheels rebuild, where the RC system takes over steering, throttle, lighting, and safety logic. Whether you’re building a robot, remote-controlled vehicle, or IoT controller, RCLink gives you professional-grade automation in a few lines of code.

All example code and documentation are available on the Little Man Builds GitHub page.
