The MicroStar 2000 project started in 2000 with the initial encoder design. The first encoder was finished and flow in 2001 and has gone through continuos design upgrades and evolution. In addition to the encoder a number of other related designs are on this web site including a receiver. The main focus of all the designs on this site are radio control model aircraft.
MicroStar Overview
Building a custom radio control transmitter requires two main electronics subsystems; an encoder to read the joystick signals and all the various switches and generate a signal to transmit this information, and an RF deck to send the information to the receiver. In addition a physical transmitter (case, switches, batteries, etc) is needed, generally builders are upgrading there favorite old systems using the MicroStar 2000 electronics found on this site.
