Default Re: Beier sound controllerand light setup

Hi...

on the upper right you connect the module to the receiver resp. other modules.

From top to bottom:
- Prop#1 upper: Cable from the receiver (gas)
- Prop#1 lower: Cable to the ESC
- Prop#2 uppper: Cable from the reveiver (steer servo)
- Prop#2 lower: Servo cable
- Prop#3: Optional : If you want to want to use e. g. the EKMFA
- Prop#4: Optional

The cabeling for Prop#2 is only needed if the turning lights should be turned off by the steering or if the curve lights (correct word ?) should be used.

Yes, I want Turn signals to function.

Default Re: Beier sound controllerand light setup

I am starting to think that to be able to use all channels on my Taranis Plus, I have to use the ECM-2. I purchased the ECM-2 as well as my USM-RC-2. I understand that the USM-RC-2 can detect the motor signal coming out of the RX into the ESC.

This will give me the same number of channels as my RX for sound and control. I have both a 6 channel RX and an 8 channel RX.

This leads to questions...

How do I tell the USM-RC-2 that I want Digital mode?

For example for the head lights, can I string two bulbs on a single output?

Hi,

another hint to your indicators.

as shown above you can activate the indocators by moving the steering. I'm using this in combination with an alternative configuration.

I'm using the EKMFA to activate the wanted functions.



In addition I configure the indicator to be switched off via the steering



Now I do have 2 possible ways touse the indicator.

1. I can activate the indicator a time before I make the turn by using the EKMFA. It will be automatically turned off if I steer back.
2. I let the Prop#2 settings activate and deactivate the indicator

Both options can be configured together, they do not exclude each other.
