4-Channel RC Servo Multiplexer
Asin: B00V3XMLEG | Model: 605074 | PartNumber: 605074 | Ean: 4060137017391
The Rc Multiplexer Measures The Width Of Incoming Rc Pulses On The Channel Labeled Sel And Compares It To A User-Configurable Threshold To Decide Whether The Master (M1-M4) Or Slave (S1-S4) Inputs To The Mux Should Show Up On The Output Channels (Out1-Out4).
If The Jumper Is Left Off, The Master Inputs Will Be In Control. If The Jumper Is Connected, The Output Channels Go Low And Stay Low For As Long As The Signal On The Sel Channel Remains Invalid. For Many Servos And Escs, A Constant Low On The Signal Line Will Turn Them Off, Which Might Be Desirable If The Control Signals Are Known To Be Bad..
By Default, The Threshold Is Approximately 1700Μs And The Slave Inputs Are Only Selected When The Pulses On Sel Are Above This Threshold. The Multiplexer Has A Learning Mode That Allows You To Change The Threshold And Activation Direction. A Yellow Indicator Led Provides Feedback About The State Of The Rc Mux.- When The Rc Signal On The Sel Channel Is Lost Or Invalid, The Optional Failmode Jumper Determines The Output Behavior..
The Multiplexer Considers The Rc Signal On The Sel Channel To Be Valid If It Has A 10-330Hz Pulse Rate And 0.5-2.5 Ms Pulse Width. The Other Inputs (S1-S4 And M1-M4) Are Unrestricted..
Features
- Dimensions: 0.97 x 0.97 Weight: 4.3g Minimum Operating Voltage: 2.5V Maximum Operating Voltage: 16V
- The multiplexer considers the RC signal on the SEL channel to be valid if it has a 10-330Hz pulse rate and 0.5-2.5 ms pulse width. The other inputs (S1-S4 and M1-M4) are unrestricted.
- The RC multiplexer measures the width of incoming RC pulses on the channel labeled SEL and compares it to a user-configurable threshold to decide whether the master (M1-M4) or slave (S1-S4) inputs to the mux should show up on the output channels (OUT1-OUT4)
- By default, the threshold is approximately 1700 s and the slave inputs are only selected when the pulses on SEL are above this threshold. The multiplexer has a learning mode that allows you to change the threshold and activation direction. A yellow indicator LED provides feedback about the state of the RC mux.- When the RC signal on the SEL channel is lost or invalid, the optional FAILMODE jumper determines the output behavior.
- If the jumper is left off, the master inputs will be in control. If the jumper is connected, the output channels go low and stay low for as long as the signal on the SEL channel remains invalid. For many servos and ESCs, a constant low on the signal line will turn them off, which might be desirable if the control signals are known to be bad.
