4.3. Connecting an RC Receiver

Simple Motor Controller can be directly connected to an RC receiver, allowing for wireless, manual motor control.
The RC inputs can serve several functions, from directly controlling the motors (RC input mode) to sending signals
to an autonomous robot (Serial/USB mode) to providing an RC kill switch (any input mode). The Simple Motor
Controller can derive motor speed from a single RC input channel, or it can mix the signals on both RC channels to
generate the motor speed, which makes intuitive throttle+steering control of a differential-drive robot possible using a
pair of Simple Motor Controllers. A BEC jumper lets the Simple Motor Controller optionally power your RC receiver
at 3.3 or 5 V, eliminating the need for a second battery.
