Here's a sneak peek at what's coming very soon. There will also be a device for testing servos, and a 4 or 8 output channel expander.
Night Flight LED Controller:
Do you like to fly at night? Did you install your own LED setup only to find out some LED colors are way brighter than others? Well if you did, like many others, then you need the Night Flight LED Controller. With this device you can set all your LEDs to the same brightness levels, or change them however you want.
The Night Flight LED Controller will control up to six separate LED strings. That's right!! It has 6 channels to control LEDs. Each channel can run up to 180 LEDs, depending on total current draw.
Here's a peek at what it looks like.
Price is $29.99
Battery Power Mixer / Regulators:
The Battery Power Mixer Regulator provides two separate functions. First, it allows you to use two separate battery packs to power your receiver, or other on board electronics. Second, when used with A123 2S battery packs you can power your receiver and servos without the use of an expensive regulator. There are a couple options available.
Option 1: The Dual Battery Power Mixer. This unit has a dual battery input. It can be ordered with a standard diode (~0.7 volt drop), or a Schottkey diode (~0.35 volt drop), or with one of each. Using two different voltage drops will force one battery to supply power while the other is just used for standby in case the first battery fails for some reason.
Option 2: The Single Battery Power Regulator. This unit has a single battery input. It too can be ordered with a standard diode, or a Schottkey diode.
Voltage example using a 2S A123 pack. This will provide a typical voltage of 6.6 volts. Using the Schottkey diode will give you a nominal voltage of 6.25 volts, (6.6V - 0.35V = 6.25V). Using the standard diode will give you a nominal voltage of 5.90 volts, (6.6V - 0.7V = 5.9V).
Signal / Power Mixer:
The signal power mixer is used to combine the signal from the receiver with the power directly from the battery, or separate voltage regulator. This is a must for high power servos when you don't want to pull all that high power through the receiver servo connection. The signal power mixer is also a must when using high current draw LED lighting, winch motors, etc.
