This is the code for the first test of this Tiny receiver PCB. Connect the battery at the input. Then add 2 DC motors at the outputs AR and AL. Then go below and downlaod or cipy+paste the example receiver code. You will need the radio controller we've made in this tutorial so use the transmitter code from that tutorial. If you don't have the radio controller, just use the transmitter code from that tutorial and make your any kind of radio controller with potentiometers or cheap joysticks. Remember to downlaod and install the NRF24 library to your IDE.
/* Test code for the Radio control receiver
* Install the NRF24 library to your IDE
* Upload this code to the Tiny receiver PCB
* Connect a NRF24 module to it:
