canlandrc

Canlandrc is an open-source project and online community focused on firmware, hardware designs, and educational resources for remote-controlled (RC) devices. The project originated from a collaboration among RC hobbyists who shared code, schematics, and tutorials on public repositories and discussion forums, pursuing a modular approach to RC control systems that emphasizes accessibility and experimentation. Core components include a firmware core that supports multiple RC protocols, example hardware boards, driver libraries for sensors and actuators, and extensive documentation. The project aims to be compatible with common toolchains and cross-platform development environments. Most repositories use permissive licenses such as MIT or Apache 2.0. A core team of volunteers manages the project, with contributions governed by a contributor guide, code of conduct, and an issue/PR workflow. Canlandrc serves as a learning platform for hobbyists, educators, and aspiring engineers, hosting tutorials, project showcases, and community forums that promote open collaboration and safety in RC experimentation. Variants of RC modules in canlandrc are used in DIY drones, ground vehicles, and educational kits.
