Good Evening all,

I am looking for a way to control a number of LED lights that I am going to install in my latest flying wing (zagi 480-si). I plan to use a number of mega bright LEDs in the wingtip, and long the leading edge/spine. I wouldn't mind being able to control these lights in flight from a 3 position switch (off-flash-on) or maybe just a two position switch (off-on).

Does anyone know of any radio controlled switches or such like (maybe PIC based?) that can be set up to do this? If not then could anyone give me a few pointers for writing a PIC program to decode the pulse train that is sent to a servo from the receiver (so that I can write a program to switch the LEDs myself)

Thanks for any help.

Andy
