Arduino relay as killswitch
I'm planning to have a killswitch for my Fuji-Imvac magneto engine.
My idea is to use an Arduino relay and control it direct from receiver chanel.
The relay have 3 input pins, - + and signal.
Is it possible?
Can the receivers channel signal trigg the Arduino 5V relay.
If so, then I can ground the magneto and kill the engine (hopefully).

Re: Arduino relay as killswitch
You need to say exactly what your "arduino relay" is so that we can know if it's made to expect an RC signal or not. Likely not, so you'd need something to process it... like an arduino with an appropriate program written for it.
Re: Arduino relay as killswitch
I guess a ready available RC switch could control a relay..

EDIT: Also, a relay with 3 pin? Don't know any..

Re: Arduino relay as killswitch
I have an opto killswitch from RCXL but it doesn't work on the magneto ignition.
João, wich kind of RC switch do you mean?

Re: Arduino relay as killswitch
Here is a similar projekt. SeeRe: Arduino relay as killswitch
Again please link the exact model of relay board you have. It just looks like a relay with a buffered input, not an RC-compatible input like the pololu one.
Re: Arduino relay as killswitch
As Kilrah said, link to the one you have please..

Re: Arduino relay as killswitch
It's sold by a Swedish company without spec.,
but here is the closest I can find (inkl. datasheet)

Thanks for your patience.

Re: Arduino relay as killswitch
Ok, then as Kilrah already said, that won't work. You would need some kind of circuitry or a microcontroller, for example an arduino board, to read the receiver's pulses and then trigger the relay.
Please google "RC Switch".
Hobbyking sells at least one. Then you have to connect your relay to it.
An arduino would probably still be the best, but you would have to code it and prigram it..

Re: Arduino relay as killswitch
Thanks for your help.
I have ordered a Pololu RC Switch with relay.
Threshold 1700 mikrosek hopefully works.
I will give feedback.

Re: Arduino relay as killswitch
It should work.. The product description says:
"The activation threshold and direction are configurable, and a safe-start feature reduces the likelihood of unexpected activation."
So, I guess it will work

Re: Arduino relay as killswitch
The Pololu RC switch works great together with my magnetic ignition.
It has an adjustable threshold of approximately 1700 μs.
Thanks for support.
