Radio Control Transmitter Channel Order Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing radio control transmitter systems for model planes face challenges in channel order compatibility between trainer and trainee transmitters, leading to difficulties in controlling the model plane accurately, especially when channel orders are different, making it cumbersome for users to change and match these orders manually.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a channel conversion function that allows the radio control transmitter to receive indirect steering signals, convert channel orders, and generate direct steering signals based on pre-set channel associations, enabling the transmitter to adapt to different channel orders and simplify the user operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual channel order matching is implemented between trainer and trainee transmitters, then control accuracy is improved, but user operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transmitter automatically performs channel order matching by receiving the other transmitter's channel order, generating a conversion relationship, and converting control signals accordingly. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual intervention while ensuring accurate control signal transmission between transmitters with different channel orders.
Solution Approach 2:
The channel order conversion function acts as an intermediary between the trainee transmitter and trainer transmitter. It receives control signals from one transmitter, converts them according to the channel order mapping, and transmits them to the other transmitter, thereby resolving the channel order incompatibility without requiring manual configuration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If channel order conversion function is added, then adaptability between different transmitters is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transmitter is designed with multi-functionality, incorporating both normal transmission mode and channel order conversion mode. The same transmitter can operate independently or in conjunction with another transmitter, automatically adapting its function based on the presence and configuration of the paired transmitter. This universal design enables compatibility across different transmitter models without requiring separate dedicated hardware.
3Loss of time
If automatic channel conversion is implemented, then time required for setup is reduced, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The transmitter performs preliminary actions by automatically obtaining the paired transmitter's channel order information and pre-generating the channel order conversion relationship before actual control signal transmission begins. This preliminary configuration eliminates the need for manual setup and ensures that conversion is already prepared when training starts, reducing setup time while managing processing complexity through automated sequences.
Data Source
AI summary
The channel assignment data is generated by assigning a channel of the radio control transmitter for the trainee 1B associated with the same controlled object to a channel of the radio control transmitter for the trainer 1A, and stored in the radio control transmitter for the trainer 1A. The radio control transmitter for the trainer 1A converts the channel of the received trainer signal into the steering signal according to the channel assignment data, and transmits the steering signal.
