Thankyou

Here is a quick demo of the TX working

Decided to use the double chevron original MacGregor logo again

Keeps it somewhere near
That’s it completely finished. Case closed.

...no box??

Now wait, where did I see that blazing, blue Throttle LED before...

These things are brilliant, aren't they? No excuses anymore for not hearing one's motor...
What's the working current on yours?
I think your starboard/port LED adds another nice touch.
And your decal making has turned into an art by itself.
Just ordered the same stuff you are using, as mine is still a bit, uhm.... black.

I’m not sure on the blue led current, but have used them before on the SC encoders without any problems.
What is it that you’ve ordered? Plasticard I presume?

No Ron, I wanted the silver vinyl as a substrate for the clear with black print.
I'm convinced it will work out fine on my Little Black Box...

I was asking about the current, because my club mate MaxZ discovered that with the same load resistor I was using, he had 50 mA.
That would likely kill the 328 in a ProMini over time. We wouldn't want that to happen mid flight would we?
Therefore we both paralleled two outputs instead of one, each with double the resistorvalue.

I'm getting 1 3/4 + hours of working time out of a 2S 300mAh and I 'll bring another one with me, so a flying day will be covered...

Cheers,
Bruno

Bruno,
The silver is great, I’ve used it before. You’ll get a great finish.

Just checked the current draw on the blue led and it’s 21ma.
Should be fine.

Show me how the decals turn out when your vinyl comes.

Ron.

I will, check my 'My Black Box, finished and functional' thread for that..
This will take some days before it's here and I got enough of the hang of it to make something presentable.
