Now let’s talk about the code: I chose to use nRFLite library to control the module, this library is easy to use with an Ardunio because many parameters are already configured and it requests only few lines of code. I use the LiquidCrystal_I2C library for the screen and Rotary and OneButton librari...

After this long intro let starts with the transmitter side: Here are my specifications: - User friendly interface with a screen and a rotary encoder to use a menu - Potentiometer to control the loco FWD and REV - A switch for emergency stop - Battery powered transmitter - 3D print case - Use of Ardu...
