ok dave just kill me now

[satlite440]

so i am still a little confused and need some help

is how too hook up the f/s side of the adf2...what can i say i am not getting it. also i have a Y harrness attached to the f/s adf2...a mistake was made in the vidio, the ornge servo is miss identified as the stern planes it's the bow plane.. another thing is is that normal for the speed controler to surge in reverse? thanks shane




oh and while im at it do you hard wire your moter rooms or do you use another deans connecter?????

LOL. I'll use the sharp knife, Shane.

OK, from the receiver, ch-4 port:

The Lipo-Guard plugs into the receiver ch-4 port; the Lipo-Guard outputs into the input side of the ADF's f/s circuit; the output of the f/s circuit (as you now have it configured) goes only to the ballast sub-system servo.

It looks like, in your video, that you're operating the LPB off ch-8. Fine, but sometimes you forget and leave the pump running as you try to dive.

I recommend you put a Y-lead to the output of the f/s circuit and drive both the LPB and ballast sub-system servo off that single, spring-loaded stick -- left stick 'vent', right stick, 'blow'. The entire ballast management done off one channel, ch-4.

That stutter of the motors in reverse is bad. Try re-setting the ESC to your transmitter. And check your antenna wire -- are any bare wires hitting the device tray or other items?

David,

how about revising the above drawing to show:

good point, Myron. I should do that.

David

I would also suggest it be included with every Subdriver.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

That's another fine suggestion, Myron. You're on a roll.

I also suggest it be put in a future Cabal report and place it on the website.
That wiring layout is the missing link. chop chop cookie boy!!!!!!

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

smart-ass!

[satlite440]

ok got it figured out and the adf2 failsafe to the vent/blow servo and it works....



last question do you personaly use/recomend a deans connecter in the engine room or do you hard wire it?

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Shane,

Sorry, I forgot to address the plug question.

Yes, using a connector between the power wires and all the devices in the after dry-space makes life easier. Use this one, http://www.sub-driver.com/electronic...connector.html

What about the motor chattering when in reverse, did that go away?
