Pololu RC Switch with Digital Output
Pololu item #: 752
Price: $5.95
Quantity:

Pololu RC Switch with Digital Output

This tiny board converts hobby radio control pulses to digital on/off signals for use in RC switch and simple RC adapter applications. One output indicates the presence of a valid RC signal (10-100 Hz pulse rate, 0.5-2.5 ms pulse width), and the other output indicates whether the pulse width is above or below the 1.6 ms threshold (with ±0.1 ms hysteresis).

Pololu RC Switch with Small Low-Side MOSFET
Pololu item #: 1210
Price: $7.95
Quantity:

Pololu RC Switch with Small Low-Side MOSFET

This tiny board converts hobby radio control pulses to digital on/off signals for use in RC switch and simple RC adapter applications. One output indicates the presence of a valid RC signal (10-100 Hz pulse rate, 0.5-2.5 ms pulse width), and the other output indicates whether the pulse width is above or below the 1.6 ms threshold (with ±0.1 ms hysteresis). An integrated small, low-side MOSFET can be used to drive small loads (up to around 3 A), such as a relay, when the switch is on.

Pololu RC Switch with Medium Low-Side MOSFET

This compact board converts hobby radio control pulses to digital on/off signals for use in RC switch and simple RC adapter applications. One output indicates the presence of a valid RC signal (10-100 Hz pulse rate, 0.5-2.5 ms pulse width), and the other output indicates whether the pulse width is above or below the 1.6 ms threshold (with ±0.1 ms hysteresis). An integrated medium, low-side MOSFET can be used to drive moderate loads (up to around 15 A), such as a relay, when the switch is on.

Pololu RC Servo Multiplexer 4 Channel (assembled)

Pololu RC Servo Multiplexer 4 Channel (assembled)

This compact device serves as a four-channel multiplexer of hobby radio control pulses, allowing easy switching between two independent signal sources. A fifth channel selects whether the output is from the master or the slave source: a pulse width below the threshold selects the master channels, while a longer pulse width selects the slave channels. This version comes with header pins soldered in.
