How to connect your RC receiver to your computer via USB
I love to fly my drone, but at the moment I have to wait for new parts to arrive. So my goal was to connect my RC remote to my computer to fly in HELI-X8, one of my favorite simulation games. Here I want to show you how to connect your RC receiver to your computer. All the code of this tutorial can also be found on my GitHub page. What Microcontroller to choose? ESP8266, Arduino pro mini? At first, I had to decide what microcontroller to choose. I had a few different options. My ESP8266s and Arduino pro minis couldn’t accomplish the task because they can only talk to…

Electronics – All you need to know to start
Starting with a new topic can be tough. I know. I had the same problem years ago when I started with Electronics. And so I decided to start my new Blog with something, which hopefully helps any beginner to have an easier time starting with such a fun, interesting and diverse topic. With a little bit of guidance, it can be quite simple and quite a joy to get started. I am trying to create the information resource I was looking for when I was starting out. My goal is to bring you along my road of failure and success.
