Build a custom handheld robot interface around the Wireless Joystick Breakout. Its SAMD21-based design supports different joystick and button arrangements so the physical controls can match the project. The learning opportunity is the full command path: read an input, encode a message and define what the robot should do if messages stop. This is a configurable development board rather than an assembled radio transmitter, and the radio and power accessories must be selected deliberately.
Before you buy
Add the required XBee, battery, controls and assembly parts. Review the hookup guide and implement a receiver timeout; this is not a safety-rated controller.
