Hey all!
I am starting a side project during winter quarter at college that involves the necessity to measure a pulse width with the arduino. I am either using a SMD arduino or programming a chip and building my own bare circuit. I need to detect the pulse width from an RC receiver to switch an H-bridge from two directions. For example, 0-50% is foward and 51-100% is revearse. Has anyone tried this before? How'd you go about this? Also I have began playing with the pulseIn() function and am wondering if this is the best way to go about this?

Thanks!

How long would the pulse be?

The counter/timer may work in your application.
Take a look at the counter/timer section in the ATmega168 datasheet.
