Remote controlled (RC) cars are incredibly popular among hobbyists, children, and people of all ages. RC cars provide hours of fun, as you can race them or customize them to your own specifications. But for the uninitiated, the concept of “binding” an RC car may seem a bit perplexing.
In order for an RC car to be used, it must be “bound” to a controller. This process establishes a connection between the car and its controller so that they can communicate with each other.
The binding process serves as a pairing between the two devices, so that only that controller can control that particular car. This prevents interference with other radio frequency signals from other radios and wireless devices nearby.
The binding process is usually accomplished by plugging in a small receiver into the car itself or by pressing a button on both the controller and the car at the same time. It is important to make sure your specific model of RC car is compatible with your particular type of transmitter before attempting to bind them together.
Once Binded:
Once an RC car has been bound to its controller, it is ready to drive. The transmitter will send out radio signals which will tell the receiver what direction to turn in and how hard to accelerate. The receiver will then translate those signals into instructions which move the servos and motors within the vehicle.
It is also possible for multiple controllers to be bound to one RC car at once; this is especially useful when two people are racing against each other or when more than one person wants to control one vehicle at once.
Conclusion:
Binding an RC car means establishing a connection between the vehicle’s receiver and its controlling transmitter in order for them to communicate properly. Once bound, the controller can send out radio signals which will tell the receiver what direction to turn in and how hard to accelerate. Binding an RC car is essential if you want it to do anything more than sit still.
