If you’ve been playing with electronics for long enough, ultimately you’ll requirement a nice remote manage transmitter to manage your RC car, airplane, or any type of other robotics job you have lying around. With these robotics jobs comes the issue remote control, as well as the XBee Handheld Controller may be just the ticket to remotely manage any type of job that comes off your workbench.

This isn’t the very first remote controller we’ve seen that does just about everything, however it is the very first one to include an XBee wireless transceiver to quickly interface to your robotics project. The controller is available in two models, the Q4, which utilizes four Playstation-like joysticks, as well as the Q2, which utilizes appropriate remote manage gimbal joysticks. Both the controllers have a slew of buttons, toggle switches, four rotary pots as well as a 2×20 LCD display.

After the break you can inspect out [Paul]’s pitch explaining what these controllers can do as well as showing off a hexapod robot under the manage of his Q4 controller. A extremely neat project, as well as we can’t wait to see this controller out in the field.
