Hand Motion Controlled R/C Car

Step 2 Opening and testing the controller

First you need to figure out how the controller works.

Open it up, save and map out each screw
If your antenna wire is moving around, hot glue it down.

You need to use a multimeter to test what connects to where, have fun at it. What I found in my controller was 4 metal flaps, all connected together, which presses against 4 jumper wires underneath them. The 4 flaps are connected to the negative terminal of the battery, this makes it really easy to hack.

You might also have one with buttons instead of sticks, I have no idea how those work so you need to figure it out.

If you are unlucky, and each flap or button are not connected to all the other buttons, then you might need to use 4 tilt sensing switches, except make them SPST.

DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO DO ANYTHING TO THE COIL THINGY

I think hacking the rc with the buttons is much more easy....you just have to find two of its four wires which are actually connected to the rc and then soldier wires to them...!!!

what happens if I mess with the coil? *innocent look*

if you mess with the coil a snake comes out!

a little late but still funny. I messed with the coil and it just changes the frequency of the remote. @coltonpo18: it wont do any physical harm, only mental because of how frustrating it is to get the right frequency again. lol
