Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Hi all, I am trying to upgrade my own r/c bait boat for fishing, I currently have a boat called a Waverunner Mk3, the mother board inside has gone faulty so thought I would upgrade to all custom electronics.
The boat is powered by a 12v 10AH lead acid battery which I want to use a Lipo instead,
The boat has lights all around it, one side green, one side red, back two are blue and front two are white, I want to use one the switches to drop the bait hoppers which are currently electro magnets that get a feed to release the hopper doors, I need to know what I can wire in that will send a positive to power the electro magnet?
Also when the hopper door is released the lights flash a couple of times to let you know, how can I achieve this?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
John

An RC switch would do the trick..The boat has lights all around it, one side green, one side red, back two are blue and front two are white, I want to use one the switches to drop the bait hoppers which are currently electro magnets that get a feed to release the hopper doors, I need to know what I can wire in that will send a positive to power the electro magnet?
again, if your electronics don't have it built in, you might need another RC switch for the lights, so they can be controlled by the radio through the receiver.Also when the hopper door is released the lights flash a couple of times to let you know, how can I achieve this?
Again, it is important to know what your radio system is..

Ok, I use Ersky9x. Do you already have the magnets and lights connected to RC switches? Or you still have to get them?

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Programming the release and the lights should not be very difficult.. How do the electromagnets work? They are always energized and open the door when you disconnect the power, or do they open the door when you power them?

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Hi João, thank you for your help and time,
The doors drop when power is applied to them, they are magnetised with nothing connected, power demagnetises them,
Have you any links or list of bits that I would need? There are also two motors so I take it I would need two ESC’s
Thanks John

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
this is the magnets
this is one motor
Also with the receiver antenna is there any external aerial you can get that will connect to receiver aerial so that it gets better signal?
Sorry for all the questions

Do, the lights flash all at the same time? That would mean only one switch for all of them. if they flash, or are turned ON separately, you will need more RC switches, and more channels on the receiver.
So:
Channels I am assuming you might need
Motor
steering, Rudder or second Motor (This can be made using a rudder or motor differential using two motors)
Door Open
Lights
Is this correct?
I think Hobbyking had some little cheap RC switches that should handle enough current for what you need.
I personally like to build my own electronic stuff, that is why I wouldn't know what to recommend
João
EDIT: What RF Module and Receiver are you using??

Every light circuit would need its own switch
Dimming lights would also need their own electronic circuit to do that. and I don't know any commercial product that could do that..
Can you build electronics? There might be a couple DIY projects that might do what you want..

2 light circuits, will leave the dimmable part for now if quite complex

Can have a go, good at soldering but would need to know what to solder to what.

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Hmm, might have some project I worked on a while ago. It is based on another project that a user of this forum sold on ebay. I wonder if he still does it.
The project involves also programming an ATtiny85 chip. Have you messed with arduino boards before? I will post a link in a while..
Waht makes this project really good and quite unique, is that you can control up to 4 different devices using only one channel of the receiver, and not 4 channels (1 channel per device) like most commercial devices. This would allow you to control more lights separately, or the bait doors separately, or what else you wanted to switch

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Thanks João
I have looked at some rc switces which look like they will do the job, will look into the arduino route as never played with them, is the code easy to copy and paste into an IDE? I am using a Mac but have access to windows too.
How would I setup ersky9x to mix the steering for the two ESC's? I want forward and backward and left and right all on
Right hand stick of the handset.
Many thanks John

You can download the code from the link I've posted and open the file directly on the IDE.johnrcglider wrote: ↑Wed Aug 01, 2018 6:30 pm

The code is setup for an ATtiny85 or 45 chips.. They are smaller than a complete arduino and have less pins and inputs. But it is enough for 4 switches.. Then you need to connect BJT transistors or MOSFETs, controlled by the chip, to switch the load (LEDs and ElectroMagnets) The chip itself can't handle the current needed, therefore you need the transistors. You could also use micro relays, but they are bigger.
then you need to setup the radio. That is also explained on the project page..
I can also help with that..
That is quite easy:How would I setup ersky9x to mix the steering for the two ESC's? I want forward and backward and left and right all on

You need something like this:
Motor LEFT on the CH1 and Motor RIGHT on CH2. I assume that your radio is Mode 2? so Ail and Ele on the right stick.
CH01 50% Ele
50% Ail
CH02 50% Ele
-50% Ail
Please try this in Eepskye, and simulate it. Then see what it does when you move the sticks..
Values might need to be adjusted.

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Thanks again, if I didnt want to go down arduino route, would 2 or 3 rc switches be ok?
How would I setup ersky9x to flash the lights on say channel 4 if hoppers on channel 5 or 6 were dropped?
Thanks

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Ok, the final values will depend on what channel values your RC switches need to turn ON, but here is something you can play with.
I assume the Bait doors just need a momentary action to release them, and they will remain open, right?
if so, we can just use the TRN switch which is momentary. This can of course be changed.
Bait doors on CH6, Lights on CH4.
Expected behavior. The AIL switch turns the lights ON normally as a light switch would do
The blinking will only happen if the lights are ON, does it make sense? or should the lights blink even if the lights are OFF?
In the example below, the lights will only blink if the light switch (AIL) is turned ON, so, lights ON
First we create a couple Logical switches:
L1 1-shot TRN 4 and (AIL) (L1 will turn ON for 4 seconds when the TRN switch (doors switch) is pressed, but only if the AIL switch is also ON. After 4 seconds will turn OFF)
L2 Timer On 0.5 Off 0.5 and (L1) (L2 is a timer that will change state every half second. It will work only if L1 is ON.)
So, you turn AIL ON, then press TRN, L1 will turn ON for 4 seconds, and L2 will be changing state every half a second for the same 4 seconds. when the 4 seconds end, the timer stops again.. Still following??
No we program some mixes, so we tell the switches connected to the receiver what to do
CH04 100% FULL switch (AIL) (This just turns the lights ON or OFF)
R 100% sL2 switch (L1) (This is a second mix (Replace mix, please note the "R" at the beginning) on the same channel that will Replace the mix above when enabled. So sL2 is the logical switch L2, which is the Timer, and L1 is the logical switch that is used to enable the mix for 4 seconds, replacing the mix above, and making the channel go from min to max a few times.
CH06 sTRN (This is your momentary switch to let the doors open)
I hope I did explain it in an easy way. Well, at least I tried with my best English, which is not that good
Please try this on Eespkye, simulate it, and try to understand how and why it works.. Have fun..
João

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Hi João,
The boat also has two seperate hook/line dropper relay pins, again both need to be independant, would be good to have choice depending on if a switch is selected then it will drop hook with the associated dropper, either left or right or on its own without bait dropping
Is it now possible if you could update switches/mixes for how it works now.
Many thanks
John
Yes they get a 12v pulse and they stay openI assume the Bait doors just need a momentary action to release them, and they will remain open, right?
Slight problem with this, is that there are two doors, both are independant, so can drop one or other or bothif so, we can just use the TRN switch which is momentary. This can of course be changed.

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Think it would be good to have the hook droppers on POT1 & POT2? would this work, if say they get to 50% they activate? or bad way?
Bait hopper left by holding left stick to the left for say 2 secs and bait hopper right by holding left stick right for 2 secs?

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
You never mention the other stuff you want on the boat. i can't guess
So, please list everything the boat has, I mean, everything that needs to be controlled by the radio. Also, with so much stuff, i think you won't have enough channels, you only have 8 in total according to what you said, and 2 are used to control the boat itself. That leaves 6 for extras like the lights and the doors.
Also my goal is not to do all of it for you, it is to put you in the right direction, so you can do it yourself, hence the long explanation on the example above, which should be very close to what you need.
If you want to change the switches to another ones, you can do it yourself. That is the basic of the basic.
also creating a mix on a channel to open a door, or controlling a relay is the most basic programming on the radio. If you can't do that, you won't be able to even drive your boat (exaggerating here)
Please have a look at the Er9x manual to learn how to create a single mix.. Practice with Eepskye. Download the manual from www.er9x.com
I will help you with this, but you need to do it yourself Fair??

This can be done and still flash the lights when either is opened.johnrcglider wrote: ↑Thu Aug 02, 2018 3:41 pm

I am not getting what you mean.. I don't even know how it works now Remember that I don't have the boat in front of me and can't see it..Is it now possible if you could update switches/mixes for how it works now.

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Ok, sorry,
This is what I want the complete list
I want to use the right stick for throttle and steering,
Boat has 2 independent motors, so need mixing for steering
2 independent bait hoppers (these are controlled by 2 pairs of electromagnets)
2 independent hook release (these are small pins that quickly pull in on getting signal)
Navigational lighting circuit controlled via a switch
Spotlight controlled via switch
Lights flash 3 times on hopper drop or hook drop
I am using Turnigy 9XR Pro with ersky9x installed
FRSky DJT Module
FRSky D8R-II Plus
If I run out of channels I will not use spotlight, but thought I could control 16 channels with this receiver.
Think this is all, John

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Not, the DJT, which uses the D8 protocol only has 8 channels.
It seems you might need exactly 8 channels..

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Please do some research, experiment with eepskye simulator. I would like you to post here a mix to control a simple ON OFF relay..
Please look at my example. As i said, experiment with eepskye simulator.. This is the basic of the basics
Learning time When you know how to do that, you can program most of the switching on your boat. The most difficult part, the blinking lights, I already posted above.. Have fun.

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Ok, just having trouble getting throttle to be on right stick, should be Mode 1? but is is RETA or other? think I can work the rest out from what you have said so far.
Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
no..
your throttle is stopped when the stick is in the middle right? The right stick is spring loaded.
You can leave it at Mode2 and just use the source "Ele" for the throttle.. I already posted the motors mix above. Just use it. that will control the throttle with the right stick.
here is the mix again.
CH01 50% Ele
50% Ail
CH02 50% Ele
-50% Ail
in Mode 2, Ele is the right vertical stick.

Re: Flash lights on release of servo - Bait Boat Help
Something to keep in mind, Stick mode and Channel order are 2 different things.
RETA is the channel order, nothing to do with stick mode..
And in your case you can forget the channel order. Just use the first 2 channels for the motors.
To learn the difference between stick mode and channel order please refer to the er9x manual..
