Change RC dual switch to triple switch ?
Hi,
I have a very cheap RC "Carson LCD 6" - six channels. Channel #5 has a simple dual-switch (on / off). I want to change this dual-switch to a triple-switch (off / function 1 / function 2). The sticks have potentiometers so the idea is to put a resistor to one pin of the switch, so I should have this three switch conditions: off (no connection) function 1 (with resistor) function 2 (connection = no resistance) Could this idea work? If yes, witch resistance should do have the resistor? ---- Sorry for the doublepost in the radio forum. |

The "Carson LCD 6" appears to be a re-badged Art-Tech E-FLY 100C.
Unfortunately I doubt that you will be able to get the result you want, because the switch is probably connected to a digital input that only detects 2 positions. |

Ok, thank you. Probably I just try it, if i get a medium value with a resistor.

I tried that years ago with a Futaba transmitter. It would not work because the input to the encoder for that channel was, as others suggested, a digital ON-OFF input -- no analog capability. Maybe your transmitter is different. Let us all know how and if it works for you.

I measured the values from the potis. They have 0 - 1700 Ohm.
So I bought some resistors with ca. 500, 750, 1000, 1250 and 1500 Ohm. I'll try it tonight and post the results. |

You are right. Its only a digital on / off input. its not possible to change it to triple input. :-(
