l  Introduce

The RC-1406 is a remote controller motherboard of the Smart Car, which is mainly controlled by the Arduino UNO R3, there are four buttons on it to control the car's direction of motion. The RC-1406 is compatible with LCD screen, so we can add a LCD screen ( such as LCD-2000-7775, LCD-2000-9225) on the motherboard to show the data of the smart car. The board can also be compatible with LC-3000 module, by this we can control the car wireless. The remote controller motherboard has set up a serial port to download, it will benefit us to remotely update the car's program. We can extend a battery plate from the RC-1406 to increase the use range of the remote control. The Rc-1406 is not only enable us to control the smart car more convenient, but also increased the car 's playability and practicality.

l  Features

Ø  Operation is simple and easy to use

Ø  Modular design, scalability, and have a variety of different configuration combinations

Ø  Pin setting is as the same as Arduino UNO R3 and it can be directly connected UNO R3 to use.

l  Operation Notice

     1, The BATT module and LCD module is not necessity, if no these modules, the system need to powered by a USB    cable or DC input.

         2, User can be upload sketch to car via wireless , when plug USB2SERIAL LIGHT in to the 6Pin connector , the onboard switch circuit will move to connection between LC-3000 and USB2SERIAL LIGHT, in this case , user can direct communication to the car via wireless , read relation parameter (like Speed / power consumption / sensor data / etc.) from the car , also send command to the car. also user can upload sketch directly via the wireless connection.

         3, The LC-3000 default baud rate is 115200bps , this will help user direct upload sketch to the car, so please notice when coding the car and remote , remember set baud rate to 115200bps.

         4, BATT & RF UART shield have integrated 2.4G RF UART and Li-ion Battery function , in this application we only use the Battery function , so the 2.4GHz RF UART part is blank , did not solder anything.
