Jon ready what you have said I'm thinking about sticking with relays jest to be on the safe side. Sorry for asking you to write that code but I'm thankful that you help people with information. I have been thinking a looking over the code that you jest wrote and. Now that you said someting about the X and Y I'm thinking this. I might be wrong but this is what I'm thinking. when using a servo it has bi channels on one control stick such as left and right. I'm wondering if there is a code that could be made to convert one output in to two using the left and right for two on and off comands so in sated of four outputs it would be a total of eight outputs.
           
                                       Up as - output #1  and  Down as - output #2>   Left as - output #3  and  Right as - output #4

Have a look at this -- you'll probably have to make adjustments (I can't test as I don't do RC stuff).

     I'm glad that its possable.Now to add the other stick do i jest write the same thing for the other stick. That way i will have the same forthe other control stick??now that i said that wont that be to much memory used or is there a short hand for that? I'm testing the one you wrote and it works well when i get done it is going to be y dead man for this up coming halloween.

You only have eight outputs so you can't do this on the Prop-1; to get the same control from two sticks you'd need four inputs (2 sticks at 2 axis each) and four outputs for each stick -- that's 12 IO pins.

ok can i use my dc-16 for the other out puts sciens its a on and off control board that would give me the outputs needed for the whole thing wouldnt it?

I don't know... can you?   ;D  I can!  All kidding aside, why don't you give it a try and then let me help you after that -- the best way to learn prop programming is to do it!  Have fun!

   Ok, Jon this is how far I get when I try to write a code useing dc16. I am not sure how to write it from this point on. I read the doc's and then I tried it. It is not good. I am confused on which comand to write and how to write it. I can do comands for prop1 put when I try to use it with dc16 I just get stuck. But I am trying to figure it out. I hit walls around every turn.

You would need two outputs per motor; one for direction, one for on-off -- and the code would have to change.  Depending on the size of your motors you might consider the Parallax HB-25 motor controller that you can attach right to your RC receiver.

Or you can use a couple relays to create a simple h-bridge; I've done it like this:



In this diagram OUT0 controls the motor on and off; OUT1 controls forward or reverse.
jon im making the bords for this set up  now tht i look at it its a stander relay on out 0 and then an doubel trow relay on out 1 am i right?

The direction control relay needs to be double-pole double-throw -- the power on can be single-pole, single through (though it would be easiest just to buy two DPDT relays).

its a all go code it works like a charm there was some changes to my remote but besides that it works to the T. Thanks Jon
to anyone whating to do this. This code will work for all heli-max controller and receiver..  Note: you might have to change some numbers but it will work..
