Code to trigger strobe lights

Hi Everyone,

I would like to get some high intensity strobes going on my APM 2.5 While I can handle the electronic side of things, I am a bit confused with going about the code to drive them. There appears to have been a change in code around V2.6 (maybe someone can confirm this) and I think a lot of the examples around the forums are for pre 2.6 builds.... I would also like to select different flash modes depending on input ch 7 or 8. I currently have a remote GPS & arming LED's and would like to keep those as well. Has anyone recently done this or have any links on how to code this?

Thanks for any help at all...

  • Hi Les

    If your anything like me you like to tinker and want to do this because you know somehow this is possible

    ,A while back I made a trade with a member for some parts and one was a light controller, it's made from dimension engineering called the "DELight Controller" this would work well if you just want something that is programable and can run off any channel you want whether its direct to the reciever or to a working apm channel, and would solve your issue should you just want something quick

    heres a quick mock up on my quad, in the video you will see where I lower throttle input to the set trigger value for the spotlight to come on, any channel can be programed with its own brightness,rate of speed or trigger
