A new Strobe This strobe can be supplied as a dual-colour or single-colour configuration. As dual-colour it alternates between the two colours. RC PPM control allows it to be switch on/off in flight, and between two patterns. The RC control lead can be cut off if not required and the […]
Video Transmitter Mounting The small video transmitters get quite hot. They are supplied covered in a protective heat-shrink which also reduces their heat dissipation. The hotter they run the less reliable they are; or the more likely they are to fail. This mount was assembled with heat dissipation and a […]
A new page is taking shape Here to support LED lighting on RC models and the LED controllers.
We have had a 5-foot fluorescent in the kitchen for many years. For the past few years it has been running a thin 35 watt echotube and adapter. The ends have been hot for years and the plastic tube holders are falling apart. This light is often left on for […]
I have been considering replacing fluorescent tube and compact fluorescent lights with LEDs. So I decided to do a quick test with some LED strip. This picture shows the fluorescent tubes on and the LED strip dimmed to a low setting. The LED strip is stuck to the side of […]
In testing This is the next step from the original 6-channel LED flasher-controller. More details. It is able to drive 1 watt and 3 watt LEDs directly without additional resistors and from a 3-6 cell Lipo or 12-30V DC supply. It uses a UBEC mounted on the back to provide […]
I have added the high power strobe as a product. Link to product. Slightly smaller than a standard SD card . The strobe can be fitted to a RC model for visual effect or to make it more visible Designed originally for RC gliders that can be difficult to see […]
I have recently updated the RC LED flasher controller to simplify the flash pattern programming slightly. Originally you needed a LED connected to channel 6 to indicate the pattern count. The small on-board status LED now provides the indication as well as channel 6; which is still useful when the […]
