I searched with every key word I could to try to find where people have discussed this before but I only found things referring to the nunchuck remotes and board lighting in general. If all the info I need is already somewhere else then please direct me there.
I am doing a GT2B mod with a basic 3D printed enclosure but before I print the final one I want to know if it is possible to use the 3rd channel (little red button) on the GT2B remote to do things like turn headlights on and off. If so I will design a space in the remote enclosure to accommodate that little button. After seeing a recent thread of someone making a bldc tool that makes cruise control possible using channel 1 I may also try to keep the second trigger thing in the new remote as well but I haven’t decided.
I use the 3rd channel to remotely toggle on/off headlights on my board.
For that, I use a sliding switch and a UBEC plugged in the 3rd channel of the receiver and powering my LEDs.
I’m also running 10S and use exactly this one :
But with his model it’s better to use a momentary switch on the 3rd channel of the remote because UBEC toggle each time 3rd channel is closed (one push = on, another push = off).
I built a Y connector to supply the VESC and UBEC from the battery (XT30 on UBEC).
I think the most annoying part is to wire LED to the UBEC
Not seeing a 12S (50V) -> 12V version. Anyone know how to do this with BEC that doesn’t already have the aux switch? I’ve seen it done before, so I know it’s possible
Worked great on the GT2B 3rd channel button. I run 12s (2 6s lipos) but only had the headlight hooked up to one battery (not sure if it could take 50v lol).
