Hey all,
I've been using Airtronics (https://www.airtronics.net) 72 Mhz receivers for my RC plane and was looking to impliment a few new features.
I'm looking to detect if the 72Mhz signal has been lost (i.e. out of range, etc). I'd like to use the fact that the signal has been lost to impliment a few saftey features (a 50 pound hunk of wood flying for miles because its out of my control can only end in distaster...so I'd like to cut the throttle on the plane so horizontal momentum is reduced)
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could use a pretty simple circuit and modify a reciever if necissary to figure out if there is a signal being recieved or not?
Thanks in Advance!
