Title: Installing lights controlled by remote on the sky surfer Post by: Imperial fire on February 25, 2017, 05:09:36 PM Not to difficult and there are many ways to do it. But here is how I did it.

Title: Re: Installing lights controlled by remote on the sky surfer Post by: Imperial fire on February 26, 2017, 07:32:01 AM Yes i tried to put a cheap 3 way switch...but the servo had to push more and keeps buzzing even after switching...
Its always getting loaded.,.. So I just got rid of it... Maybe with a different kind of switch .... Title: Re: Installing lights controlled by remote on the sky surfer Post by: saurabhhsrivastavaa on February 26, 2017, 10:48:41 AM If you are a bit familiar with electronics, this could help..
Costs less than ₹30 to make one. Title: Re: Installing lights controlled by remote on the sky surfer Post by: Imperial fire on February 26, 2017, 11:01:04 AM Gonna make one asap...tnx buddy...
I don't understand the entire circuit..but will figure it out. :salute: Title: Re: Installing lights controlled by remote on the sky surfer Post by: Imperial fire on February 26, 2017, 11:02:54 AM Alternatively I was thinking of opening the servo up...and removing its potentiometer and motor and gear ..and basically just using that little small PCB that they have there...and simply replace that servo motor with lights...
But that would mean wrecking a servo worth 200+.. :banghead: Title: Re: Installing lights controlled by remote on the sky surfer Post by: saurabhhsrivastavaa on February 26, 2017, 08:18:15 PM That is very much possible. You may use a micro servo which costs less but still it would cost more than the circuit I had posted. Going the servo way is also not a bad idea... give it a try.

Title: Re: Installing lights controlled by remote on the sky surfer Post by: saurabhhsrivastavaa on February 28, 2017, 11:54:10 PM Why use a timer 555 when a d-type flip flop does the job...
Why reinvent the wheel? 4013 is easily available at most electronics shop for like ₹10.00 |
