Title: 2.4ghz transmitter
Post by: soninja8 on July 21, 2013, 09:35:04 PM
Hello,
I was wondering if there are any 2.4ghz transmitters that are shaped like console controllers. Please Link!

Thanks!

The Arbotix Commander comes to mind. With a 2.4 GHz Xbee (the default) it is a 2.4 GHz band serial data transmitter that you can receive using another XBee.
I would link to it on trossenrobotics.com, but that site seems to be down right now.

I'm searching for something more professional looking. Anyone know of one that looks like an xbox or ps2/ps3 controller? Doesn't have to be exactly alike

Thanks again!
