For a university project I have to analysis and redesign a radio control toy animal.
It has a range of about 5 metres, weak motors and research has shows people would want better power and range.
Currently it runs on capacitors charged from the remote control which only last about 3 minutes
Also can turn its tail (channel 3)
At the moment it has 3 channels... 2 of which give tank like control.
Both forward - forward
Both Back - Back
One back one forward - turn or spin.
It also has a 3rd motor which turns its tail.
I have only started electronics and knowledge is very very basic.
How would I go about increasing the radio range so it can go further. (i think it had a Crystal oscillator in the circuitry.)
About 5 metres is very small 30 meters would be ok so not talking full on plane controls as need to be cheap.
And what would be involved in adding another channel switch on or off for say a squeak sound or light up eyes
Change from capacitors to batteries and what would be involved in bigger motorsHelp please how do i increase radio control range and add channels to cheap toy?
with a bigger reciever (more channels) , bigger motors, batteries yu would also be putting up the cost considerably.
Why would you want 30m distance, if its that small you would not easily see or hear what its doing
