4 Position Dual Powered Dual RC Switch

[heyok]

This is very similar to my other product that will operate two lighting circuits:
4 Position Dual RC Switch for LEDs

The difference is that it will run one output from receiver power and the other output from external power.



The reason for making this is so that you can run your headlights (or some other device that runs from low voltage) from the power in your receiver and you can another set of lights that needs to run from a different voltage. Some light kits are coming out that need 12 volts to operate.

This is how the outputs work as you adjust the channel on your transmitter:
0-25% rx signal all off
26-50% rx signal all on
51-75% rx signal Internal Powered Output is On
76-100% rx signal External Powered Output is on

Here is a video of it working with an automotive brake light on one output and a red LED on another.

Like my other products, this circuit has been made water tight, so go ahead and turn you rig into a submarine if you like!

Sweet! Two separate systems at two different voltages(rx power source and direct battery). Controlled from one channel while being able to toggle between either.
I.E. being able to run standard 6 volt leds(headlamps and tail,etc...) on the rx powered side and say MadDogRC lights(3s capable) on the other side. While being able to switch them from one linear channel.

Cool!

how would this system work if i didn't have a 4-position or linear channel? for example if i only had a two position channel would it do all on and all off? if i had a 3-pos channel could it be all off, 1 on, 2 on?

Yes, I think you have that right.


0-25% rx signal all off

You could probably adjust what exactly happens by moving the end points and center settings around.
