Hidden treasures abound in the Adafruit store... and this is one. A little radio module with four pins that can be controlled from a battery powered key fob.

We will use those four pins to control the direction of each servo: forward, backward, left, and right.

Connect the pins of the radio module to the Arduino as follows.
  • GND -> GND
  • +5V --> 5v
  • D0 ----> A0
  • D1 ----> A1
  • D2 ----> A2
  • D3 ----> A3


If your robot keeps resetting or the radio doesn't seem to be working... voltage could be sagging below 5 volts - the radio module doesn't operate reliably below that threshold.
