  2. The Pololu RC Switch is designed to convert hobby RC signals into a high or low output. The following example demonstrates how to use an Arduino to read the RC signal from a receiver and control the Pololu RC Switch.
  3.  
  4. This code reads the RC signal from the receiver connected to the Arduino using the Servo library, which is commonly used to control servos but can also be used to read RC signals. The pulse width of the RC signal is read and printed to the serial monitor. Based on the pulse width, the output state of the Pololu RC Switch is determined and set accordingly. In this example, the output is set to HIGH when the pulse width is greater than 1500 microseconds and LOW otherwise.
  5.  
  6. To use this code with the Pololu RC Switch, connect the signal pin of the RC receiver to the RC_INPUT_PIN on the Arduino, and connect the RC_SWITCH_OUTPUT_PIN on the Arduino to the input pin of the Pololu RC Switch. Make sure the ground of the RC receiver, Arduino, and Pololu RC Switch are connected together. Upload the code to your Arduino, and you should be able to control the Pololu RC Switch using your RC transmitter.
