Controlling SMD’s from spare channel

Post by dabber »

Fellas, can anyone help here...... Now, is there anyway I can control SMD’s powered by a 2x AA 1.5, battery pack using a spare channel on the RX, possible...........??

I would like to keep it independent of the ELMOD Fusion Pro board fitted to my Hooben T55.

To be honest I’m a complete novice with the “black art” of controlling working features from the TX. Im using a FLYSKY FS-i6s TX with 10 channel RX.
Take care..........Gary

Yup, and you even dont need to wire the leds to batteries, what you need to buy is an electronic switch (3 euros at hobbyking) some resistors and done.

The receiver will privide enough energy to the led.

You are welcome.

Dont worry, you dont need anybody to help you. Plug this to the receiver https://hobbyking.com/en_us/dr-mad-thru ... tore=en_us
Solder the leds with the resistor to the other side.

Done :D
