I have just knocked up a failsafe killswitch today from an old servo board and a 5v mini relay,,,,,,total cost----$1.65.

Works exactly like my pico did,(pico just died for some reason) which cost me $40.

I think I'll be making them from now on!

Ha ha,nice one.It works the same as well does it not? I done that 5 years ago. Can you put a pic up and a few specs,I've done the same here ,I'll look for the thread.

C'mon fellas,everyone slated me for this idea and another member has done the same!.....any comments? Ross,can you put a few pics up?

Great mate,there is a circuit diagram on here somewhere what I done,I'd like to compare what you and I have done to save £30.

Sorry VOO, I must have been daydreaming,,,I wasn't ignoring you on purpous,,,,,,,HONEST

I'll get some pics up for ya soon,,,,,I promise!

 

[voo2doo]

But you have done it though????.....have you not?

Here is my so,so simple circuit.and this is just a battery fail,as you said its soooooo easy. £30 NAW!

Tons more can be added like yours and as Keith wants ....a big blue LED!.....

Here it is,,,,,,my $1.65 failsafe killswitch!


And a rough circuit diag


You can hard wire it to the coil or do what I did and whack on a plug so you can still remove stuff easily!


Cheapest insurance yet!

If you have a 3 channel, just plug it in,
If you have a 2 channel like me, use a Y harness on the throttle servo,,, works a treat!!
