FTX Hi Rock Lights & flysky fs gt5 light channels

Ойын-сауық

This video is a visual reference for a viewe to demonstrate what happens when you plug lights into the flysky fs gt5 receiver,,
not being to great with electrics myself, , , , always learning!!
in order to have lights controlled so they can be switched on and off apparently you need an on off box!.

    I feel I can help here, the Receiver pins are - + s . So Negative / Pos / Signal, as you say in the vid Ad. The Neg and Pos pins on the RX are all on a Bus (just all in one line)- they are all connected to either Neg or Pos, and the Neg ones all go to the BEC- and Pos ones all go to the BEC+. (Batt Eliminator Circuit) So power available on this bus is what the Esc's BEC puts out to it through the Esc's RX wire/plug. So you can't draw more than it can supply. ( It may only be 3A), so don't run too many lights off it, because the servo's are also sharing this power. If you're running High power steering servo's (Two in Ads case ) you may need a separate BEC to supply 5v+ more Amps to the servo's, otherwise if both servo's stall out while driving - the BEC on the Esc will smoke. You need a BEC that can supply the servo's Amp draw at stall. I will post a link to the items I mention here at the end. The two LED's when you reversed that plug Ad are so low a current draw that they were coming on using the signal line! , if you slow-mow video that, they would be flashing with the signal of the RX !. So you will smoke the RX with anything bigger there, so only plug them in the right way around. Your spot on with the Light Bar - it has a chip in it that is reading the signal from the channel you were adjusting, and so you were able to control the various modes that it has by adjusting the channels output. Plugging an RX plug in backwards should generally be avoided, I damaged an Esc and RX at the same time doing this. So to switch them two wire LED's on/off with the channel you would need something like this;- (Plugs into the controlling channel and then the lights plug into it. hobbyking.com/en_us/dr-mad-thrust-electronic-onoff-switch.html?queryID=286dd563ba202f21a486334df0183c56&objectID=83129&indexName=hbk_live_magento_en_us_products And a BEC which can supply 3Amps (runs directly off the Main Lipo) example :- (You may need a bigger BEC if you need more Amps etc.) hobbyking.com/en_us/kingkong-5v-3a-ubec.html?queryID=17ab546e4967f7cbeec7ea4f2d9dd299&objectID=20575&indexName=hbk_live_magento_en_us_products Hope this helps Guys! .

    Ate you on a brushed motor? If so, swap your wires over on the motor, and then if its running backwards , , switch your throttle REV on the radio to correct it again, hopedully that gives you full power forwards again. If that doesnt work then the duel rate (DR) must be set wrong

    Yes i think your right. From what was happening with the lights i tested, , the simple LED lights stayed on all the time no matter what happened. With the flashing lights, the only time they turned off was due to the fact that the lights themselves had different flashing modes, one of the modes being "off", and we were able to cycle round to the "off" mode, but is only because those lights had that ability to built into them. Somebody mentioned that you would need to get an "on/off" box, i guess thats what you need to get, i'm not sure where you would get one of these though, maybe wheelspin models online or modelsport online. Hope the video helped you put a bit though.
