RC Receiver Interface XB

A radio control receiver interface XB (RC XB) reads PWM signals destined for servos and outputs at a 16 bit integer – representing the pulsewidth in microseconds. This can be thought of as the inverse of the Servo XB; the Servo XB generates a PWM signal that is formatted to control a standard RC servo while the RC XB reads that same signal and turns it back into an integer.

One application includes reading the outputs of an RC system’s receiver in order to use the information encoded in those signals to do something else, like controlling the speed of a motor.
