Majour "OH DUH!" moment today - 01.31.2009, 07:18 PM
Well I build this today, servo actuated switch to power up my MMM from my radio, worked wonderfully until it came time for it to do its job. Can anyone tell me why?
PS I already know the answer, so Ben if you figure it out you do not win.

Ding ding! We have a winner! How can I supply power to the servo besides turning the switch on?

well, you can use a Ubec so when your batteries are plugged in, your servos and Rx are already getting power......then its just a matter of flicking the switch on you Tx. ...

But I'm not sure what the mod is for.

I would assume that when you plug your battery in, you could turn the ESC on by hand....so I must have missed something.

Why do you need the ESC turned on by remote?

I used a "bottom" line.

dissable the MMM BEC, add a external BEC so when you plug the batteries in, everything but the ESC will be powered up
