Abstract

Precise control of aircraft flight control surfaces by the pilot is critical to flight safety. The joystick and control surface positions must be detected accurately and quickly, and the motion mechanism must be operated in such a way as to ensure synchronization between them. The analogue voltage value taken from the potentiometer, which is used as a position sensor in many small aircraft, can be used directly or by converting to digital.
In this applied study, the analogue position knowledge received from the potentiometer on the joystick was converted into a PWM signal with an oscillator circuit. The PWM position signal applied to the IR (InfraRed) LED in the transmitter unit is sent as infrared light. The PWM position knowledge detected by the photodiode in the receiver unit was passed through the LPF (Low Pass Filter) and the voltage value of the joystick potentiometer was obtained again. With the mechanism controlled according to the difference between the potentiometer values of the joystick and the control surface, the synchronization between the joystick and the control surface is ensured. In this study, a wireless and stable servomechanism connection is obtained by transmitting PWM position knowledge as IR.
