A youtube viewer asks: Im using a spectrum dx6i and ar6200 receiver in my Traxxas Rustler VXL. Can I just run a led light with Continue Reading →
Painting With Flight! We go over a few last minute tips before your first night flight, and some open shutter photo experiments, yielding trails of Continue Reading →
Control your LED Circuits with your receiver – using simple components like brushed ESCs or remote controlled relays. Add some mixing and you can not Continue Reading →
Nothing really exciting on this article and video, but I figured I’d throw it in for good measure, because at some point you’ve got to take Continue Reading →
Let’s wire up ALL eight LED circuits we’ve made so far all together in parallel and check how much current the full circuit pulls, examine Continue Reading →
Reference our earlier articles for sources of these LEDs as well as our web calculator links to figure out resistance values. They’re tiny, they’re awesome. Surface Continue Reading →
Wiring Standard Bulb LEDs
We’ll use 3 White LEDs from Radio Shack, wired in series. Two pairs of this circuit will be created, one for each side of the craft. Continue Reading →
LED Circuit Tools and LED Strip Kits
If you’re building your own circuits, chances are you’ll need a lot of these tools or equivalents. If you’re not, well, then skip down to Continue Reading →
Parallel LED Circuits
Parallel LED Circuits Keep in mind… A single series circuit has limits Remember your LED calculators from the last article! LED Wizard LED Calculator HB LED Calc If you Continue Reading →
More Series LED Circuits
So, last time we introduced the simple LED circuit. A power supply (your battery), anLED (the light), and a resistor (to limit current). We introduced all the math Continue Reading →
