Piranha 2020 Battle Unit C/W wiring
Sold out
Piranha 2020 now has bigger and brighter hit indicators!!!
Piranha, is a complete plug in IR battle unit by RCTA.
Piranha features the latest SMD technology IR receivers it is not only one of the smallest battle units available but also possibly the best for IR performance.
Piranha features 4 X IR receiver modules each with built-in IR noise filters capable of receiving IR signals over a 45 metre (147 ft) distance , 4 x high intensity red side mount LEDs and a high power, narrow angle IR emitter. The Piranha assembly comprises two interconnecting PCBs, a base unit and receiver/emitter unit. The standard base unit for Piranha is a 5+2 pin base for connection to RCTA, IBU & Tamiya units. An optional 5 pin base is available for direct connection to the new El Mod Fusion series.
If using a Heng Long or Taigen MFU then a MAKO is recommended as the MAKO will not only provide for LED indication but also a compatible pin output.
A 3D printed cover is available here
IBU RVC Remote volume control
Sold out
Specification
The RVC is a small board (approx. 1 inch x ½ inch) and is simply plugged between volume potentiometer connector of IBU2 or TPA and a spare receiver channel.
Setup
Connect the servo-like lead to you receiver, typically the 6th channel has a control knob which will act in a familiar way for regulation.
Turn ON the power to receiver by the main power switch for the IBU2, leaving the transmitter OFF
You now should see a green light steady ON
With the control knob set to minimum. Turn ON the transmitter, the green light should start to blink slowly
Increase the knob position to maximum, the green light should blink faster (according to knob position)
Now you can connect the other 3 pin plug cable to Volume Pot connector on IBU2 or TPA
Turn ON the IBU2 and make it play a sound and set the volume to desired level
