Remote-controllable vehicle e.g. model car, for e.g. hobby area, has fail-safe unit configured to detect malfunction of onboard computer and to selectively switch to one of transmission channels, when malfunction is detected

摘要

The vehicle (1) has a fail-safe unit (5) with a switching unit (7) that is controlled by a microcontroller (8). The unit (7) switches between two transmission channels for control data. The microcontroller is connected with an onboard computer (10) for exchange of the data and is connected with a servomotor (14) for transmission of the data. The fail-safe unit is configured to detect malfunction of the computer and to selectively switch to one of the channels, when the malfunction is detected. The microcontroller transfers the data during switching to the latter channel to the servomotor. An independent claim is also included for a method for controlling a remote-controllable vehicle.
