Abstract
A radio controlled (RC) vehicle includes a receiver that is coupled to receive an RF signal from a remote control device, the RF signal containing command data in accordance with a first coordinate system, wherein the first coordinate system is from a perspective of the remote control device. A motion sensing module generates motion data based on the motion of the RC vehicle. A processing module transforms the command data into control data in accordance with a second coordinate system, wherein the second coordinate system is from a perspective of the RC vehicle. A plurality of control devices control the motion of the RC vehicle based on the control data.
Claims18
A radio controlled (RC) vehicle comprising:
- a receiver that is coupled to receive an RF signal from a remote control device, the RF signal containing command data in accordance with a first coordinate system, wherein the first coordinate system is from a perspective of a user of the remote control device;
- a motion sensing module, that generates motion data based on the motion of the RC vehicle;
- a processing module, coupled to the motion sensing module and the receiver, that transforms the command data into control data, based on the motion data, and in accordance with a second coordinate system, wherein the second coordinate system is from a perspective of the RC vehicle;
- and
- a plurality of control devices, coupled to the processing module, that control the motion of the RC vehicle based on the control data.
A method for use with a radio controlled (RC) vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving an RF signal from a remote control device, the RF signal containing command data in accordance with a first coordinate system, wherein the first coordinate system is from a perspective of a user of the remote control device;
- generating motion data based on the motion of the RC vehicle;
- transforming the command data into control data in accordance with a second coordinate system, wherein the second coordinate system is from a perspective of the RC vehicle;
- and
- controlling the motion of the RC vehicle based on the control data.
