I am planning to build a model glidder but am struggling with the electronics. I would like to be able to adjust a potentiometer to adjust the angle of the flaps on the glider.
For the IR emmiter/reciever I was going to use an IR LED and an IR Phototransistor. Is this the way to do it or is there a more appropriate way?
My second query is the IR reciever/servo control circuit. I understand that a 555timer should be used but with what values of resistor for approx 90° turn? I would appriciate a schematic drawing for the reciever circuit/servo control circuit.
Many thanks (I have just realised how many questions I have asked in this one post!)
