Just tried setting up the electronics. I am using a 14.4v power source and the 27MHz radio system I mentioned above for testing but I don't seem to be able to send a signal to the Scorpion. The green status light should be solid green to indicate a good signal, but I only get a flashing light, any suggestions?
Just to add, I am using the BEC system on the Scorpion instead of a separate power source for the receiver, not sure if the problem has anything to do with this.
scorpion BEC's are rubbish, your problem may be there.
They're fine, just they didn't like the power hungry Spektrum stuff. Plug a servo in the RX make sure you've got a signal at the RX.
This may sound condescending but I have seen it happen:
Make sure your RX plugs are the correct way around (Signal, positive and ground).
Just tried using the RX with a servo, but didn't get a signal. Maybe I need to get a new RX or transmitter
check your crystals, make sure they are the correct frequency and that they are secure in their sockets.
Hello, I was wondering whether to get the XL or XXL. I run 4 gimpson motors (12v I think) on 16.8v batteries. At present I use 3 electonize escs (one to operate a linear actuator). Do the scorpions just run motors or can I run the linear actuator off them as well?
I'd use an XXL in your case and use one of the Electronizes to run your LinAc
I actually just had mine arrive today, they look a lot sturdier than the XXL version 1. The case thats designed for it seems a bit optimistically named, you basically have to cut and drill all the holes yourself.
Just tried my scorpion xxl v2, very happy with the results. It seems to provide very smooth, precise control :)
