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.
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.
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!
