  • LED Switching via Receiver Port

    I want to put some LED's on one of my Heli's and have a spare channel on the receiver, anyone one know of a switch I can use that can be switched on/off from the TX

      I've used the multiswitch for mounting and setting off fireworks, won't take too much current though

        Do you use open TX? If you do then you can use OpenXSensor to do this, with multiple LEDs controls, flashing ect and routines from a single channel.

          I've heard of people using brushless speed controllers in the past to control a bunch of LEDs, with the ability to turn them on, off, and dim them via a receiver channel.
