s-bus and regular connection together?

[jpdomein]

Hi,

I have a quick question.
I have a HengLong Challenger 2 with Clark Electronics and I'm using a Flysky FS-i6s transmitter and a 10-channel receiver on the S-Bus.

Now I want to get a rotating beacon working with a Turnigy switch module. I've tested the rotating beacon and it works.

The switch module is new and should work.

Can I connect this switch module to the receiver next to the S-Bus (e.g., port 6 - transmitter switch D)?
According to the instructions: yes, but it doesn't work.

This is the switching module:

The receiver: tgy-iA10B

Could the S-Bus be causing problems?

Does anyone have a solution or tips?

Regards,

So I was trying to do something similar with a Radiomaster ER 8 receiver and a OpenPanzer Tank Control Board. The TCB connected to the RX via SBUS, but I had wanted to use one of the channels for a PWM based servo. I found that at least with that RX, it sent signals to the SBUS and PWM at the same time. However, the power from the SBUS , while powering the RX to connect to the TX, did not power the PWM outputs.

So what you’re supposed to do with my particular RX is pull the red positive wire out of the SBUS connection, and power the PWM outputs with a RX battery, or some sort of voltage appropriate power source. If you have the control board and the RX battery both sending power to the RX at the same time, something will probably get fried.

I get that this is not the same RX as what you are using, but this may be a similar situation. If you want to try it, just make sure that it’s the PWM power source that is powering the RX, and not the Clark Board, so just pull that red wire in the SBUS connection out and either remove the whole red wire or tape off the one end you pulled out.

At your own risk of course, but the situation seems similar to what I was trying to achieve, just with a different RX/TX combo.

Also to test whether the PWM outputs are getting power or not while connected via SBUS, you can always break out a multimeter and see before you try connecting an additional power source to the RX.

A yellow beacon on a tank, for movement in the city, it denotes equipment, equates the tank to a watering machine or garbage collector.
A common practice in Europe

Paying a lot of money for an electronic switch....
I paid a quarter and got it for free...
This device (like yours) is an electronic relay.
It receives a signal from the receiver from the channel you select and turns the device on or off.
The output voltage is usually 5 volts and the current is 1 amp.
If your plug-in device (LED) requires a step-down resistor, otherwise it will burn out....

@Jib: thanks, will give this a try.

@Pavel: the beacon light is used only when on transport on roads, not while in battle situations.
The beacon light can use a voltage from 4 to 12volt, that should not be an issue. (from pistenking)

I know.....That's how I wrote it...
And on the Leopard, the orange cups on the front fenders are not turn signals (as colleagues mistakenly think), but also an alarm and they blink......
