OH NO! Your robot rover is about to crash! NO WORRIES with RoverMux!

Take control of your self-driving rover in emergencies or any time you like with 3-channel RoverMux.

Used by several winning Sparkfun AVC competitors ... including me!

Features

  • Dedicated R/C Multiplexer keeps running even when your autopilot doesn't
  • 3 R/C channel multiplexer, designed specifically for rovers
  • Compact size
  • Reasonable cost
  • Color-coded pin headers for fast, correct installation
  • Easily select between autonomous and manual control
  • R/C and MCU inputs, outputs clearly labeled
  • Red and green LEDs indicate autonomous or manual control.
  • Onboard regulator operates off 5.5-6V BEC or run off 5V BEC directly
  • Power rail transmits power from BEC to Receiver, Servo, MCU
  • Firmware pre-loaded or program the ATtiny13 yourself (with addition of a jumper)
  • Open source. Documentation available.

Taking Control

  • Using CH3: Solder CH3 jumper, connect 3R/C to RX. Switch control using CH3 on your remote.
  • Using CH1: Un-solder CH3 jumper or disconnect 3R/C. Turn your remote on to take over, off to relinquish control.

Some remote control receivers generate a failsafe signal with the transmitter off, in which case you'd need to use CH3 control.

This thing saved my bacon more than a few times!

This makes it easy to switch between autonomous vehicle and fun RC car from the remote. That means I can test my vehicle without fear that it will just run off and crash. I put this on a Traxxas Slash and had no problems. I found out that even though there are only two controls on the transmitter, there are 3 channels on the transmitter and receiver. A quick added switch and I was able to change easily between Arduino control and RC control from the remote. Without this I would still be chasing after my runaway robot!
