Up Late new Mods

[NVR2FST]

I Got an idea.......Stayed up till 4 am. Two new Mods for my Nova. Eyes and LED power indicaters. Works nice! The video shows the power at its highest to the left LED and as battery wears down it moves to the right. It gives a cool effect while running. It lets you see the load you place on the battery. I originally used this on one of my helis. I thought I would give it a try on the Nova. It has a switch for 4.8 volts or 6 volts. Now I can safely stop the battery Monitor that I hate so much. Do I only need to change the code or do I need to make the wire Mod also? I just watched the video after uploading and you really dont see the different colors very well. It is so much sharper in person. http://s274.photobucket.com/albums/jj27 ... tled-2.flv

Cool Mod

It gives a nice indication of the power required to perform different moves.

Cool idea!
can you please show exactly how you wired things and code used ?

btw: You can copy-paste the "html code" on the right side of the photobucket page into here and it will show up as an embedded video..

Code: Select all

No code needed. Just plug it in ! It reads directly. I plugged mine in to the left side above all the servo connections with the black wire towards the outside. Make sure the little switch is on the 6 volt position. Here is a link to the unit. Pretty common in hobby stores. I used it on my helis. If you think it looks cool in the video, it is much sharper in person. The colors are different as the battery goes down or the load goes up. You really cant see the colors in the video. http://www.rcboca.com/product.php?produ ... t=0&page=1
