Brian,

How is your OPTO modified controller doing? Still running OK?

I was on the phone with a CC tech this morning and what he was telling me seems fishy. He told me that on my V2 that has a misbehaving BEC (sometines works and puts out 6.4v and sometimes only 2.0v depending on what it feels like doing), if I disconect the red wire on the Rx cable and power the Rx with another power source that the MMM will run. He said the the "brains" run on 3.2v on another circut and that the internal BEC wount effect that. It doesnt seem right to me, otherwise why wouldnt all of us just be able to run the controller with a RX pack or external BEC when the when the internal BEC fails. I told him what he was explaining didn't make sense based on what I saw in my totally failed units. If what he said was accurate the LEDs should still lite on the MMM unit itself even without a Rx plugged into it. But he insisted that the internal BEC should effect the Barin board.

I still think he doesnt know what he is talking about. I will do some playing tonight to confirm it.

I'm right... Right?

BTW... I asked him about doing the "OPTO Mod" on it and he said that it would void the warantee. Wouldnt make any exceptions either.
