This looks like a great site I am looking foreword to talking with all of you, I have a flame wheel 450 with scorpion 450 motors Naza with GPS and gimbal. Geez it is getting heavy. Flies good tho.

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
Hello Bart. That's a hell of a great first name you've got, you must have very wise parents to have the benefit of such a wonderful and stimulating first name. I can just imagine the joy of a spring walk through an emerging field of flowers saying it over and over again, Bart, Bart, Bart.......but anyway, back to heli's I suppose.

Welcome to the site. Glad you and your wonderful first name found us here. Jump right in and make yourself at home.

Regards,
Admin. :)

In my whole life I have not met another Bart. I am named after a Bartholomew but my name is just Bart.

Just to let you know I am a PCB Designer and am looking for projects to help make my profession part of my hobby. So If you have any ideas let me know.

Bart,
When you say PCB designer do you mean physical design or do you also do the electronics design? I have an idea that would be an easy entry into the business if you can do the electronics design.
Thanks,
Bart (names after Bart Starr, fwiw)

Both

I am mainly involved in the physical design of the boards however I do have some electronic design skills and if the project exceeds that I have several friends that can take up the slack.

well, here you go then....

what is needed is an LED control board with low voltage sensing for helicopters that don't have this capability built into the flight control.

ideally the board would;
  • have four outputs for four strings of LED's
  • inputs for two independent RC channels
  • software to configure any of the outputs to either of the inputs including non-steady illumination like flashing, fast flashing, etc.
  • input power of 14.8 v (4S lipo) from main flight packs (using 12 volt LED's)
  • low voltage sensing that can cause all onboard LED's and maybe even a loud buzzer to flash/buzz wildly signifying imminent battery low V failure
  • very small footprint
  • solder power input pads
  • servo type plug outputs

Sound reasonable? I've been snooping around Arduino message boards to start figuring this out but I'd much rather see someone here produce something like this.

Thanks! Bart! Doh!

That's what we call in German "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau".... ( a pig which can lay eggs, gives milk and got wool like a sheep) :nevreness:

Anyway...I am first to place an order !!!!!!!
