2. EXAMPLE CONNECTIONS:


Motor (H1)

Pump (A)

Led (P2)

Servos (Option 1)

Servos (Option 2)

Lipo booster (L)

'P' outputs are 3v when on and 0v when off. Led's need resistors to limit current to 20mA but high brightness led's allow a lower current (eg: 2-5mA). Google will reveal how to select resistor values but 220-470ohms will be safe starting values.

P1 controls the 'A' output. The A output is used to drive higher current things. It is 0v when on and disconnected (floating) when off. The load is normally connected permanently to positive and the A output provides a path to ground to switch it on. The A output is rated at 2A.

The on-board BEC may be able to power a small servo through the 3.3v BEC output (see Option 1 above). If the servo does not work properly then it needs a separate power supply (see Option 2). In this case only the signal wire must be connected to the P4 output and the servo must get a suitable voltage direct from the battery (up to 6v usually) or a UBEC device (reduces higher voltages to 5v).

The 'L' pad is intended to monitor a single cell lipo when used with a voltage booster. This allows the receiver and motor to be powered with a boosted voltage and benefit from the convenience of a single lipo. The receiver will auto-detect when a lipo is connected. It will cut power to the motor when the voltage falls to 3v (LVC). The L pad is not intended for use when powering a receiver direct from a single lipo.



3. BINDING

Bind once (not necessary if Rx was supplied pre-bound):
1. Switch Rx on and wait ~20s until led flickers fast.
2. Switch Tx on in bind mode.
3. Rx led should flash slowly; wait for it to go solid.
Change distance between Tx/Rx if binding does not work.




4. LED:
Led On = perfect reception (real-time indicator).
1 flash = Scanning (~2sec between flashes; no signal or not bound if never stops).
5 flash = LVC/Brownout (voltage went too low; check battery/motor load).

5. FAILSAFE:
The motor output is not active on startup and while scanning for a signal.
The motor output 'holds' last known settings on short signal losses (<1sec) and then slows to a stop over 3 seconds.

6. CHANGING SETTINGS:
The following changes can be made by simply shorting two pads together (eg: with a paperclip):
1. Perform a 'Hard reset' (factory reset).
2. Change motor control between 'low off' and 'center off'.
3. Enable/disable LVC (eg: when using Nicads, NiHMs, LiFe cells).
4. Enable/disable Selecta.
5. Enable/disable Cruise Control/Failsafe.
'Paperclip' changes

This receiver has many other options that are described on the features page.
These are changed using a technique called 'programming': v610.
