Hi there,
Apologies if this has been answered.
I build large scale helicopters. One of my builds has a large spotlight or Nightsun. I have designed and printed the components which form the two axis gimbal. It uses two small servos for the two axis to control the movement of the spotlight.
I have programmed the sequence to the maestro card and all works well. It plays for a few minutes. I currently use an RC switch to power the Maestro card from my transmitter, which then begins running the looped sequence - and therein lies my problem.
I cannot figure out how I can remotely control the sequence so that the lights gimbal I have designed returns to a set position. The full size helicopter spotlight returns to a position where it points aft to the rear.
Are there any additional components that could achieve this? I am guessing the Maestro card would need to retain power.
Many thanks.
