  byte aux2;
};
  Signal data;
  void ResetData() 
{
  data.throttle = 12;   // Motor stop | Motor Kapalı (Signal lost position | sinyal kesildiğindeki pozisyon)

}

Receiver Circuit:

Note: Servos receive the necessary power via ESC. The BEC feature of ESC provides the necessary 5V support. So, the VCC line in the channel ports is not connected with Arduino. If you are not going to use the Receiver with an ESC, a 5V power supply will be required externally.

Receiver Code:

//  6 Channel Receiver | 6 Kanal Alıcı
//  PWM output on pins D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7 (Çıkış pinleri)

#include <nRF24L01.h>

Library Files:

Files with “.h” extension in the “include lines in the code are library files. Search for them with their names. Download it to your computer and copy it to the “Arduino / Libraries” folder. You must do this before uploading the code to the arduino).

Example: Necessary library link for NRF24L01: https://github.com/maniacbug/RF24 (Different version library files may be required depending on the Arduino board. It can be found by trying)
