SOZBOTS SOZDSC-M failsafing issues
Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2010 7:30 am
Posting this here in case someone can help with this:
In one of my antweights (yes, Joey builds antweights, although that's a story for another time) I'm using a Sozbots board with a Futaba R114F rx on 40mhz that, to get straight to the point, doesn't seem to failsafe at all, basically going a bit insane if the transmitter is turned off. I can't find any mention of failsafing in the documentation for the controller, so I thought I'd check here and see if anyone could clarify if it's spposed to do it or not? I haven't really got the weight to add extra failsafes (besides, the person I bought it off second hand soldered the wires directly to the reciever pins, so it'd be an absolute bugger to fit any or use a different reciever)
If it's of any relevance it's driving Inertia Labs 50:1 motors with LiPos of various capacities but all 7.4v being used to test the setup.
