Hey all,i had an accident with my apm quad some months ago. I calibrated the four esc (four at once method) and everything was fine. Unfortunately i had the propellers on it. This was stupid enough (»just let me make that quick change ....«) but i…

"Hey Alan,

just wanted to say thank you! I bought a 2803 shift register and made a test with led strips yesterday. It works awesome! Just for future reference if someone is searching, too: I needed to change led_mode in the parameter list to 11 to…"

Andre B. replied to Andre B.'s discussion Failsafe on graupner mx/xr ifs. Value too high when receiver switched off
"Hey all,

i found the reason for my problem. For the ifs system you will need to teach the values as an extra step. Most other systems save the values while binding the tx/rx. It is documented in the receivers manual ....

thanks! Andre"

"Hey alan,
thank you very much for your in-depth explanation and the hint with the A6 & A7. Thats an awesome idea and i am going to add leds to this. How do you use the reed relay? Won't i need microcontrolling for this? I already have red leds on…"

"i would also assume this. The strange thing is, that the crash happened several seconds later. I cannot test this at the moment because on of my motors got destroyed. Would it help if i power the retracts with 5 v directly from the lipo? At the…"
