R/C Receiver
The R/C receiver module (only in SCROV-10 R/C
Snap Rover) contains a radio receiver circuit, a
specialized radio decoder integrated circuit
(W55RFS27R3C or equivalent), and other sup-
porting components. Its actual schematic is com-
plex and looks like this:
Its Snap Circuits connections are like this:
Motor Control IC
The Motor Control IC module (only in SCROV-10
R/C Snap Rover) contains 16 transistors and
resistors that are usually needed to control the
motors. Its schematic looks like this:
This module is needed because the R/C receiver
module cannot provide enough power to operate
the motors directly. The transistors inside also
control the direction the motors spin.
Its Snap Circuits connections are like this:

R/C Receiver:
(+) - power from batteries
(–) - power return to batteries
LBUT - left button function (active low)
RBUT - right button function (active low)
BYP1 - low frequency bypass
BYP2 - high frequency bypass
LF - left forward output (active high)
LB - left backward output (active high)
RF - right forward output (active high)
RB - right backward output (active high)
ABC switch - selects radio channel
Motor Control:
(+) - power from batteries
(–) - power return to batteries
LF - left forward control input
LB - left backward control input
RF - right forward control input
RB - right backward control input
L+ - left forward motor drive
L – - left backward motor drive

The Remote Control Unit (only in SCROV-10 R/C Snap
Rover) contains a radio transmitter circuit, a specialized
radio encoder integrated circuit (W55RFS27T3B or equiv-
alent), and other supporting components. Its actual
schematic is complex and looks like this:
