Hi, ich habe auch den Lama V3. Die originalknipse vom Lama hat noch einen Kanal frei, den man via Schalter schalten kann. Kleiner Umbau ist nötig. Kannst du mir sagen, wo du den LED Controller her hast ? Ich wollte meine Lama auch etwaas pimpen. Ansonsten geil gemacht.
@magicwoody: Der LED Controller ist selbstgebaut auf Basis eines Atmel AT2313 Microcontrollers. Seine Hauptaufgabe ist das Umsortieren der Kanäle, damit ich die Multiplex Cockpit MM einsetzen kann. Da der Controller das quasi im Leerlauf erledigt, konnte ich problemlos noch die Lichtansteuerung damit realisieren.
hey there, I have been searching thru heaps of websites to no avail on how to mod the tx/rx to run the 5/6 ch.. please help make a small guide for me, I would really appreciate that.. thanks so much!

hey there.. been searching thru mountains of websites to find out how to hook up ch5/ch6 to the lights.. would appreciate it if you could post a small lil guide up with pictures on the tx/rx mod.. thanks so much !!
No, I'm using my standard R/C transmitter (Multiplex Cockpit MM). This is the main reason why I started this project: The Cockpit MM does not support free function-to-channel-assignment, so the microcontroller swaps the two engine channels. Lighting was added because the controller had plenty of resources left.
The lights are super-bright LEDs controlled by an Atmel ATTiny2313 microcontroller which is connected to channel 6 of the 4-in-1 unit (you have to open the unit to find the three free channels, it's in fact a 7 ch rx without servo connectors on channels 5-7). The controller measures the width of the servo pulse on this channel: low pulse width = all off, medium pulse width (centered) = ACL lights and flash, high pulse width = additional landing light.
The parts should be available at any electronics store (like Conrad or Reichelt here in Germany or maybe Radio Shack in the U.S.). It might be easier to use a ready-made R/C controllable lighting unit from your local hobby shop. The reason why I chose to make my own design is that I originally only wanted to swap the two motor controller channels from the Rx to the ESC (necessary for some Tx'es like my Multiplex Cockpit MM). The lights were just an additional gimmick.

Hi, very interesting! Are you using the original transmitter? I am trying to get 2 new channels on the 0404 but without success till now...

Where can I buy the LEDS and the controller unit?
