I fly radio control airplanes and sometimes experience interference problems. Probably you understand this can cause crashes and I don't want that. To eliminate most of the problems, I have thought about using an opto isolator.
Between the receiver and each component (motor controller and servo's) are 3 wires (+, - and signal, 4.8-6v).
I have no electronics experience at all, anyone that can point me a direction where to find information about this?
I wouldn't have thought that's a likely cure for any interference?, at that point the signal is a digital one (actually PWM) at logic levels, and will be very immune to interference.
If you're getting interference problems it's far more likely to be entering via the aerial input!.
I am not an expert on interference problems and I only know about it from what I have read. Seems that most interference is comming going from the speed controller (motor controller) and originates from the motor.
For people with no r/c knowledge:
The speed controller (esc - electronics speed controller) is powered by a battery. The esc 'forwards' power to the receiver and the brushless motor.
