Jacques Garbi replied to Jacques Garbi's discussion Triggering an On/Off Switch to turn on/off external led strips using a Pixhawk and a Spektrum DX7s
"No. Nothing that worked. I didn't get back to it because of frequent travels and the fact that the weather wasn't ideal to fly, but if you do find something that could help us, please let me know."

"Hi Dominik,
How did you connect it to the AUX1 on the Pixhawk ? I don't know where to find it. And I'm interested in AUX2 if you could help me out. Do you have pictures of your system ?"

Jacques Garbi replied to Shane Kent's discussion I'm brand new to this stuff and I need help with my new drone.
"Hi Bill,
having done that, is it possible to use the extra AR8000 for other purposes ? Is it still bound to the RC (even though the satellite is no longer attached) ? Or do I need to rebind it without the saltellite (since it's already used on the…"

"I got my AR8000 receiver powered. It wasn't very complicated one I knew what to do. And it seems it's already bound to my Spektrum DX7s like you suggested since as soon as I turn my RC on, I see y led lit up on the AR8000. Then I connected my relay…"

"Yes, this is the relay I bought. I tried what you said but it didn't work. Apparently the relay cannot power the receiver on its own. No idea whether a light is supposed to come up or not. Can't see any. I'm pretty sure we're getting very close, but…"

"I got what you're saying and I'm feeling we're getting there. But it's not so simple.
I have the Spektrum AR8000 8-Channel DSMX Receiver (http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPMAR8000). But I only used the remote receiver (the…"

"But I don't even know where it is. I looked at my rig and the only thing pluggabale that I see is the Pixhawk. Here is a picture. Can you help me find it ?

"I bought a turnigy relay (or a switch, I really don't know the difference). I attached a picture hoping it might help. It is connected to a Lipo battery and then to the led strip. And I attached a 3-wire cable to my Pixhawk Aux6 port (see the other…"

Hi,I have an X8 from 3DR Robotics and I'd like to add some led strips that can be turned on and off through my Spektrum DX7s. I bought an on/off switch and I connected it to an Aux port on my Pixhawk (Aux out 5 or 6). But I don't know how to…
