Remotely Piloted Vehicle Control and Interface System.

Abstract

A remotely piloted vehicle control and interface system is provided. A personal computer equipped with an RS232 serial communication port passes an ASCII character(s) as a serial data stream. A shift register device converts the serial data stream to a parallel data character and continuously generates a status signal indicating one of the presence or absence of the parallel data character. A central processing unit, responsive to the status signal, compares the parallel data character with a set of valid control characters to generate a control signal when a match occurs there between. A transmitter, responsive to the control signal, transmits a radio frequency control signal to the remotely piloted vehicle.
