ShiftRC is a opensource design for a very cheap, small and simplistic rc driver/rc statemashine.
mimics Nikola Tesla's boat
it uses a shift chip with multiple outputs and one input for the radio or IR signal. This project is something I wanted to do for a while to make cheap and light weight custom rc chips, and I decided to make it a real project when I found a wooden single use spoon which I wanted to turn into a boat.
this project will host multiple version, some very simple ones, and some more complex. a similar thing can be said for the controllers, I will soon upload the schematics and designs for a steampunk style controller. but for a more simple understanding a simple remote might be a transmitter(led, speaker, or antenna for example) a button, and a capacitor to stabilize the button because every pulse you send changes the state. however high precission control is possible.
Use the project and schematics however you want it as long as it does NOT restrict others.
