For anyone in 2023 trying to make a wireless car with the steering controlled by a servo, it will work, but you will need to download the ServoTimer2 library. Also the number to insert in the servo.write() command will need to be from 1000-2000 or it will not work. For the normal servo library, its from 0 to 255, but for the ServoTimer2 library, its 0 to about 2300. Also, if you want to prevent the motor from spiraling out of control, make the max analog output to the motor driver be around 20% less than the actual max, so instead of writing from 0-255, make the range 0-200. I did this and it tremendously increased the stability. When I had it from 0-255 and I went full speed for a few moments, the motor would get stuck on the max speed, but when I made the max analog out be 200, it never got stuck. These are some of the problems I ran into after working nonstop for 10 hours, but I eventually got the entire thing to work!
Excellent teaching! Your voice is easy to listen to and I appreciate that you sound like someone I would know. Accents are sometimes hard to understand and since we come from the same part of the world, our dialects and accents are the same. Therefore I don’t have to work past that first to get to the great content you have. Straight, to the point, and well written beforehand and not just made up on the fly with tons of stutters repeats. Thanks again. Now my number one source for Arduino tutorials.
Dronebot , your videos are setting fr the standard for learning. You are thoughtful, concise, detailed and thorough. I just wish there was a teacher like you in every field.... 👍
I mean you know you are a life saver and a great teacher. Thank you for the lecture! On a side note, I have the same digital clock you have on your work bench right there. Makes me hope I can get my workspace that clean and organized one day :)
Who the heck are you? I don't know of anyone who can explain things so fast. so complete, and tolerable. be it voice, tone or speed of speaking.. Wow, I found a gold mine here. Thank you Sir. On my journey to save the world from corruption, evil, and deceiving government, religious, or what ever people are doing to destroy our beautiful world. Know there are people out there doing really big things to fix things, and you are a big help to ID10T's like me. One thing you could do for me if you would? If you could configure the eight array antennas' for the Van de Graaff generator's, for E=mc^2. Thanks, you the man!
I can only echo what so many others have said, in one word, "Fabulous" ! The quality of your videos are amazing, information is precise, relevance is on the money and most important just plain fun. Thank You for spending the time to share your passion to educate the rest of us!!
great video, I don't really understand why few minority would dislike the demo, it must be that they are dump or something. Keep up the great work :) thanks a ton
When he mentions reversing the pins on input output, that means swap the MOSI pin with the MISO pin on the adapter. (pins 11 & 12 on the arduino.) Thanks Drone Bot!!!
Dear Bill: Thank you SO MUCH for all of the help and inspiration you provide to we Aduinovians; I've learned more than words can describe. I thought I might share something I've learned along the way that may help others on a project like this. If an individual is running the Arduino IDE using Windows 10, there's no need to have two computers to observe the communication between two NRF25 WI-FI breakout boards. As long as there are two COM port plugs on the computer, and there are two USB cables to use, here's the trick... First, connect all of the wires between the two wi-fi breakout boards and the two Arduino boards, and open the Arduino IDE to get ready for testing. Open either the client-side or server-side .ino file of the NRF24 project being tested, and plug-in ONLY ONE of the Arduino boards using a USB connector cable to the computer's first COM port. Compile and link the .ino file and upload it into one of the Arduino boards. Make note of the COM port the computer assigns to the connection. Next, right click the Arduino IDE's tab at the bottom of the screen (or wherever the open-program tabs may sit on the screen), and OPEN ANOTHER INSTANCE of the Arduino IDE (don't open the second client/server-side .ino file being tested using the same Arduino IDE as the first). Now that there are two separate instances of the Arduino IDE running, connect the second Arduino board to the computer's second USB port using a second USB cable. Compile, link, and upload the second .ino file being tested into the second Arduino board. The two different instances of the Arduino IDE are now running two separate .ino files on two different COM ports, and two seperate serial monitors can be opened to watch the communications between the two separate WI-FI boards. NOTE: The IDE has trouble when two copies of the SAME .ino file are open. The second instance of the Arduino IDE will most likely open with a copy of the SAME .ino file that is open in the first instance of the IDE. Be certain to close the initially open (copy) .ino file from the SECOND IDE after the second NRF24 file has been opened in the second IDE. If you close the first copy of the two .ino files open (of the same name), you just closed the first instance of the IDE, and now, one IDE shares both open files again (sounds more confusing than it really is). If something goes wrong, say my two favorite words, "oh well," and try again. It's important to follow these steps in order and to remember which Arduino board is connected to which instance of the Arduino IDE, which .ino file sits in which Arduino board, and which COM port each the the Arduino's communicate through. When coding modifications are involved, it's easy to forget which board is the server and which is the client (or, am I just getting too old?). Thank you, again, for your time and effort in sharing your wealth of knowledge. I'll be joining the DroneBot Workshop Forum just as soon as I get my MS email account password sorted out (that's it...I'm too old). I've only known about Arduino since early January of 2020, but have a I have decades of experience in DCv SCR-drive electric vehicles, and I was coding Turbo C in the early 1990, so I have a lot of coding experience to share. I look forward to the experience of the Forum. We have a lot to talk about, and I love to gab. Stay well and take care; Casey aka itsCaseyDambit
Thanks a lot. I am from India and I ve successfully completed the project you are telling about. You did help me a lot to understand and completing the project with in first try. Your long and more informative videos are great for beginners like me.
Thank you so much. I'm relatively new to all things Arduino, IoT etc. I have never coded before and at 67 yrs just loving every small success. It'll be a while before I can get everything together for this one. You explain everything so clearly & certainly "know your stuff" & 100% agree with "TheMarbo74". I fully recommend your videos to anyone interested in electronics. Keep doing what you are doing.
Really good explanation. I failed miserably in the past trying to achieve this very setup 😆 on an Atmega 32 in C++, switched to Arduino a while back but never got around to try again. Thank you so much for going into sufficient detail, but not too much and taking the time to creating this content! Off to try again! 🏃♂️
With respect to previous comments, I think the videos are of a perfect duration, in that all important aspects of a project are covered completely. Too many "explanatory" vids go to "I'll cover that in another video..." Sometimes I'd understand if their presentations were as rich and explanatory as Mr. Bill's, but more frequently it's someone just drawing stuff on a piece of paper. I don't know if the graphical and animation aspects are contacted out ... but their like watching Fantasia in a world of Beavis and Butthead animations. Now with two vids a week, no one can complain.
Thanks for your Chanel and your hard work, I studied electronics for many years, in different country, they thought so many things except how to program or build robots from scratch. Electronics terms and procedures can be very confusing and challenging, thanks for simplifying them.
Great tutorials, Sir! @33:00 you picked up a wicked echo. :-) I am sure you know. Remember "Test for Echo"? Not my favorite Rush album but I love Rush as I am sure you do, also. 2112 and Permanent Waves and Signals. Pretty much everything up to Signals are my favorites. RIP Neil.
Thank you SO much for this great instruction video. I never could have build this on my own from scratch. I really love it and will soon share it with one of my grandchildren. Hopefully he likes it too.😀👍👍
Excellent job. Your work and presentation is exceptional and has me hooked to your channel. So far I've learned a lot from you. Please keep up the good work. Kind regards
Hi, well made and explained video, I'm trying to hook up the same kind of car with my homemade Arduino transmitter and receiver. How would I make it so I can use 2 joysticks instead of 1, so I can control forwards/backwards with the left joystick and turning left/right with the right joystick, what would I have to change in the code if I were to make such change? Please reply as soon as you can, thanks in advance! Cheers, Max from the UA-cam channel "Max Imagination"
Thanks a lot for this well explained video and concept. Indeed u make technology look very easy and practical to grasp.. but I have a challenge yet unsolved, when experimenting with the reliableDataServer / Client alongside with sensor(joystick), the transmitter is cable of sending data(joystick values) but at the order end(Receiver) , it shows *init failed* on the serial monitor… I have tried troubleshooting to no avail. Pls I need help…Thanks
Another interesting video. I need to pickup some RF modules to experiment as Arduino and Radio Communication is something I'd like to investigate. Thanks again!
Indeed a lot of detail, perfect! Many details i already know and understand. Some details though are crucial for me to properly understand the stuff I need to understand. The detailed explanation is a good thing in this case. Thank you for te great video!
Superb Video... i Have learned so many things its great.. i will be highly grateful if u will upload any tutorial on 2-way communication using these NRF24L01 modules..
Great video. Having the same issues as others...too much latency in rcvr response. Reduced delay value to 10ms, but still having issue. Also would be nice to turn both wheels when direction change is activated.
Great video and the perfect length. That having been said, I am a member of a generation for whom an expected concentration span in excess of 5 minutes is NOT cruel and unusual punishment.
I'm happy to hear you say that Michael, I always worry that my videos are too long but I also don't want to leave anything out. Thanks so much for your comment.
can you show us how to use these to control multiple servos, because i have looked up alot of tutorials on youtube and all of them dont explain it very well
Many thanks, I´m always referring to your videos as its clear instruction for Arduino. I built a few of these over the holiday including my own spin on the HW using a really nice Arduino Nano and shield. I hope its ok I put a reference to you in my Thingiverse build as my bias is more HW. I managed to squeeze in all your sensors on a easy to print version. Dave
Thank you for the excellent video - very professional. You provided a very thorough and detailed method to follow. I can't wait to get started on my own project.
This is a great video. I am trying this robot car. Though I encounter some problems on the transmitter side it says "init failed" on the receiver side it says "sendtoWait failed" and there are values given by x and y axis. Is there a problem using a clone arduino UNO as receiver and original arduino UNO as transmitter?
Amigo,deseo que la vida te de mucha salud y bienestar,para que nos sigas compartiendo tus conocimientos,tus proyectos son excelentes y nos permiten aprender,ojala otros tuvieran las mismas intenciones y no solamente por un numero de visitas.Gracias. Friend, I hope that life gives you a lot of health and well-being, so that you continue sharing your knowledge, your projects are excellent and allow us to learn, hopefully others had the same intentions and not only for a number of views. Thank you.
if you are using a mega you will also need to add the following code RH_NRF24 driver(8, 53) in the datagram sketches and RH_NRF24 RadioDriver(8, 53); for the joystick sketch as well as change the pin out if you do not make this change to the code it will not work. Great videos thank you
Hi, I followed exactly as described but somehow the receiving end seems to be the problem i.e not receiving the data. I swapped the arduino uno & the RF24L01 with the transmitter and yet face the same problem; i.e transmitting but not receiving. I have used other examples available in the internet and the result is the same. Not sure where I went wrong.
Thank you for all your videos. They are excellent!. I would like to know how I could transmit the car battery voltage back to the transmitter and display it on an LCD In my case it's a boat and the voltage is 12 volts.
I am wondering if you can do a video with proximity sensors and beeper. I have a Harley trike that I am going to experiment with and can not tell how close I am to things when backing up or to the sides of the widest points at the rear. Thought this would be a neat project and very inexpensive. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Sir can you please work with the SIM800L GSM module? please? I have searched the entire internet but have not found a good and simple tutorial. You do an amazing job explaining everything in detail. Sir please make a SIM800L GSM module tutorial video. It will do wonders.
thank you for the video! the Radiohead library with the reliable datagram code is the only one that's working for the NRF24L01 modules I got. I also like your code because it's simple and efficient. Yes, it's better to figure out the joystick position at the transmitter and then send just one enable command vs sending the joystick encoded value to the receiver. I will use this code to complete my RC tank project. :)
Hi. I am having no success at all with my setup. I tried the first client and server sketches and nothing. I moved on and loaded the nrf24 reliable datagram server on my windows 10 laptop and all I get on the serial monitor is "init failed". I uploaded the nrf24 reliable datagram client to my linux mint laptop, and I get "Sending to nrf24_reliable_datagram_server sendtoWait failed" over and over. I reversed the sketches so linux laptop is server and windows laptop is client...same issues. I would like to troubleshoot the nRF24L01 modules and the adapters but I have no way to determine if one or more are causing this issue. Is there any troubleshooting advice you can give me? I am at a complete loss here. Looking forward to a reply...thanks again.
Great programes & as a 78yrs old I am trying to find witch two wires you are suggesting That were swap around (Input & output) as I am new to wireless controls With the nRF24LO1?
DroneBot Workshop , can I use this device with AtMega328 which you showed in one of your videos? I am using that device and I have problem because every time I use it I see "init failed" on the Serial monitor.
Where could be that Labeling issue on that adapter board you mentioned ? My adapter board also having issues in configuring. Where could be that labelling to check for ?
The Radiohead library - helps ensure that there are No Alarms and No Surprises (please). Ok, Computer. Haha. (When I can't discipline myself to sit and watch a long video like this I might well swot up a bit of music instead!)
Hi there! really solid video but I need some help. For some reason it says init failed. I've triple checked the circuit, replaced almost every single part and have gotten no results. any way you could help me?
Bill. I found that the latest RadioHead library zip file is quite different than the library you used.(even the example). Using this library does not allow your sketch for the robot car to work. Can you comment on why this may be the case? Can you do an "update" on this video with the latest RH library? The proper pin numbers to use for a nano and/or a Mega 2560 would be helpful. They are not shown in the sketch or the software. I know my hardware is OK since I have an old sketch that still works with the same nRF24L01 hardware but with RF24 software. The RadioHead software is confusing to me ( pin #s and commands) also to many other users. Using for Nano (pins 8,10) and for Mega(8,53). A simple example of how to send /receive a few bytes of data would be extremely helpful.THANK YOU !!!
So we are 10 students and all making the same project, so for each project we can assign a different channel number? Or we will change the client and server addresses ?
I was wondering if you would have used spi for transmission? I'm trying to hunt down interconnect My nano and esp32cam. While I could connect to the cam separately, it seems a shame to waste a nano if you can also connect via the WiFi. I understand that a controller is still required, as I don't think the cam has many ports that are usable. (Was hoping it had two to be useful as a cam pan and tilt)
Hi Sir, Thanks for the video and guide. But I have some several issues that I'm facing right now. I copied and pasted code for both tx and rx side. According to your video I also double-checked each pin which are connected to ardunios. Unfortunately, my setup is not working as yours. I cannot move the car with any of command which is coming from joystick. I figured out that even if communication is established between two ardunios the car doesn't move. Most of the times communication cannot be established. I'm using all components that you're using in the video please help me.
I can never understand how some people can put thumbs down on any of your videos.

if you are using a mega you will also need to add the following code RH_NRF24 driver(8, 53) in the datagram sketches and RH_NRF24 RadioDriver(8, 53); for the joystick sketch as well as change the pin out if you do not make this change to the code it will not work. Great videos thank you
Hi, I followed exactly as described but somehow the receiving end seems to be the problem i.e not receiving the data. I swapped the arduino uno & the RF24L01 with the transmitter and yet face the same problem; i.e transmitting but not receiving. I have used other examples available in the internet and the result is the same. Not sure where I went wrong.
Thank you for all your videos. They are excellent!.
I would like to know how I could transmit the car battery voltage back to the transmitter and display it on an LCD
In my case it's a boat and the voltage is 12 volts.
I am wondering if you can do a video with proximity sensors and beeper. I have a Harley trike that I am going to experiment with and can not tell how close I am to things when backing up or to the sides of the widest points at the rear. Thought this would be a neat project and very inexpensive. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Sir can you please work with the SIM800L GSM module? please? I have searched the entire internet but have not found a good and simple tutorial. You do an amazing job explaining everything in detail. Sir please make a SIM800L GSM module tutorial video. It will do wonders.
Haha, glad I watched until the very end to see the bloopers!
I ve made it two times, but it works like a charm
excellent video. A long one, indeed, with a lot of information to process. It'll keep me busy for a few days!
15:09 Radiohead ... not to be confused with the band that wrote the "ok computer" album ... LOL
Yes it's the longest one so far, but I didn't want to leave anything out. Check out the article if you haven't already, it's quite long too!
gotta love the smooth side turn at 3:18 XD
excellent tutorial! thanks for the detained instructions and reasoning...
Thankyou So Much for the Video Explanations.... Very Easy in Understanding..Intresting too. !!!
Your workshop is nice
so cool bro..all your work is so fantastic......
You really got magnetic personality
thank you for the video! the Radiohead library with the reliable datagram code is the only one that's working for the NRF24L01 modules I got. I also like your code because it's simple and efficient. Yes, it's better to figure out the joystick position at the transmitter and then send just one enable command vs sending the joystick encoded value to the receiver. I will use this code to complete my RC tank project. :)
Teacher, excellent video and explanation, I'am learning a lot. thank You
Hi. I am having no success at all with my setup. I tried the first client and server sketches and nothing. I moved on and loaded the nrf24 reliable datagram server on my windows 10 laptop and all I get on the serial monitor is "init failed".
I uploaded the nrf24 reliable datagram client to my linux mint laptop, and I get "Sending to nrf24_reliable_datagram_server sendtoWait failed" over and over. I reversed the sketches so linux laptop is server and windows laptop is client...same issues. I would like to troubleshoot the nRF24L01 modules and the adapters but I have no way to determine if one or more are causing this issue. Is there any troubleshooting advice you can give me? I am at a complete loss here. Looking forward to a reply...thanks again.
Great programes & as a 78yrs old I am trying to find witch two wires you are suggesting That were swap around (Input & output) as I am new to wireless controls With the nRF24LO1?
DroneBot Workshop
, can I use this device with AtMega328 which you showed in one of your videos? I am using that device and I have problem because every time I use it I see "init failed" on the Serial monitor.
Is there any reason why my nrf24l01 isn't initialising properly. It wont let me use the Arduino to send the data
Where could be that Labeling issue on that adapter board you mentioned ?
My adapter board also having issues in configuring.
Where could be that labelling to check for ?
Big fan sir 👍
How to change cn and ce pin in the setting. Pls I really need know. My pins are already occupied. I only have 10 and 2 and my board is already set.
can you show us how to use these to control multiple servo motors
A great project as usual.
The Radiohead library - helps ensure that there are No Alarms and No Surprises (please). Ok, Computer. Haha.
(When I can't discipline myself to sit and watch a long video like this I might well swot up a bit of music instead!)
I'm confused with your if statements in the steering section, wouldn't your if statements for >255 and
Hi there! really solid video but I need some help. For some reason it says init failed. I've triple checked the circuit, replaced almost every single part and have gotten no results. any way you could help me?
Nice info, thanks for sharing :)
A truly awesome, very informative and flawless video. Surely will try one day.
Thank you, I hope it does inspire you to build something with the nRF24L01 soon.
Yes, Sure Sir.
I've done it. The problem I encountered is the loose connections of wires. Next project I'll try to use MPU6050.
Bill. I found that the latest RadioHead library zip file is quite different than the library you used.(even the example). Using this library does not allow your sketch for the robot car to work. Can you comment on why this may be the case? Can you do an "update" on this video with the latest RH library? The proper pin numbers to use for a nano and/or a Mega 2560 would be helpful. They are not shown in the sketch or the software. I know my hardware is OK since I have an old sketch that still works with the same nRF24L01 hardware but with RF24 software. The RadioHead software is confusing to me ( pin #s and commands) also to many other users. Using for Nano (pins 8,10) and for Mega(8,53). A simple example of how to send /receive a few bytes of data would be extremely helpful.THANK YOU !!!
Hi can you make a video on how to control it with the X box controller
So we are 10 students and all making the same project, so for each project we can assign a different channel number? Or we will change the client and server addresses ?
I was wondering if you would have used spi for transmission?
I'm trying to hunt down interconnect
My nano and esp32cam.
While I could connect to the cam separately, it seems a shame to waste a nano if you can also connect via the WiFi. I understand that a controller is still required, as I don't think the cam has many ports that are usable.
(Was hoping it had two to be useful as a cam pan and tilt)
I m trying to connect many times but receiver code is not working please let me know what is the problem in receiver code.
Hi Sir,
Thanks for the video and guide. But I have some several issues that I'm facing right now. I copied and pasted code for both tx and rx side. According to your video I also double-checked each pin which are connected to ardunios. Unfortunately, my setup is not working as yours. I cannot move the car with any of command which is coming from joystick. I figured out that even if communication is established between two ardunios the car doesn't move. Most of the times communication cannot be established. I'm using all components that you're using in the video please help me.
