nice thanks. If you don't need the controller, only basic colors Red, Green or Blue, or combinations, you can solder the 5v directly to the strip, and the 0 volt to one or more of the RGB. Might save some weight on smaller planes. Plus you can cut parts of the strip and give each strip a different color by connection the 0 v to different RGB lines
I did this exact same thing to my AeroScout that I put on floats. Looks GREAT on the lake. I did not do the power lead from the ESC but after seeing your video, I will now! Thanks bud! Best regards, Dave
Just figured that I would let you know that RU-vid recommended this video to me so you might be getting some more attention from others as well, the RU-vid algorithm 😂
I tried doing this with my Aeroscout and the exact LEDS from the link above however the power must not be great enough as I am only getting a very dim green light no other colors work. Any advice?
Nucleo Good question, unfortunately this mod is only pulling regulated power from the receiver, not giving to receiving signal. a signal wire is how the transmitter channel info is sent to the peripheral, so this is incompatible
These are Adam’s Readi Board Foam Core sheets, available for $1 each at dollar Tree here in the USA. if you don’t live near a dollar tree or are international, you can order a box of 25 online and have it shipped. This foam board is seen as one of the only options for FT planes due to its lighter weight than other competing brands
You could use a 12v setup, however the lights I have chosen utilize a 5v USB input, which obviouslt matches up with the 5v out from the RX. That's just how I do it, but there are definitely other ways. Thanks for watching!
I live in Russia and getting access to some of this stuff is problematic but I did find the 12v LEDs. I fabricated an adapter to go directly into the 3 cell and put them into a FT Mini Arrow I built specifically for this purpose. One wing green, the other red. Looks great, no blinking or anything fancy, but I'm happy w/ how it turned out.
