Re: how to change controls on Spektrum DX6i?
Your putting more thought in to this and making it more complicated than it needs to be.
Yes the R/C switch is overkill but it will take up less space than your servo and switch and is a whole lot easier to mount. I do agree switching the out put of an ESC would be a less expensive way but now you will need a separate switch from the others and the switch has to carry the load. Yes there are cheap radios and servos out there but you get what you pay for. A DX6 is a good radio to use and it is less money than upgrading to a bigger radio while getting a full 8ch's of proportional control with the solutions we have discussed. Travis

i'll post up some pictures & ideas after tafe tonight but having it switched electronically (even with relays) i beleive is the best approach. Ive used servo's to switch pneumatic valves and there is always something cropping up out of thin air, being it flex on the mount or having to put a ball joint on it then there is the linkage, its all a pain in the but that can be easily avoided. When you say cost, a 556 some caps, pots an AND gate and some PNP's, should come in under $10 without fudging around. |
