At the moment Leveller uses an electronise switcher for the flipper. is this what most people use or is there a more modern version we could get?
Failsafes
In leveller, when we spin the wheels and then switch the transmitter off the wheels carry on spinning. is there anything we can do about this?
Thanks
James Davies
Put failsafes between rx and speedo, usually the orange fs-1s or the xtra failsafes from technobots also work. If you already have them, they are not working.
If I remember you have a spektrum, make sure that you have bound the rx to the tx with the robot in the position it should be in to failsafe.
James - the electronize is OK
If the wheels continue after switching off the transmitter then it is not failsafing and will not pass tech-check. Without knowing the RC setup and speed controller it is hard to comment on reasons for the fault.

envy uses electronise. as trev said for the rest. :)
james, do you have a br reciever? this will failsafe on all channels, like ed says you should bind the reciever to the transmitter with the sticks in failsafe position e.g sticks centered, then it should work. i would try re-binding the reciever again. my wheels continue to move for about 2 seconds before the failsafe kicks in.
Ed- i dont have any failsafes in it, ive had a look at technobots and i think well get one of them.
I think when we got the spectrum it was allready bound to the reciever but ill check that tomorrow.
thanks for the help
Check the spektrum setup, should be able to get it to failsafe on all channels (if you have a BR6000 Rx like swanny said). Also if you do need to buy failsafes you will need one for every channel.
External failsafes such as the FS-1 will not work with a spectrum Rx for you, just a waste of money.
you should be able to get a br reciever from robochallenge, i know they did have some a while ago. or you can purchase them from

Just remember to rebind the Rx to the Tx after you have set your trims/switches on the Tx into the required failsafe position, to store the failsafe positions into the receiver module
James to give a definative answer the forum needs to know your current setup... Speed controllers , Transmitter / Receiver etc.
Thanks for the help, ill try re-binding the transmitter and reciever and see if that helps. If it doesnt, ill try some of the other suggerstions.
Thanks
We tried rebinding it and it didnt work, so were going to get a failsafe. I thought I had allready said about the setup. Weve got a Wotty and spectrum DX6. Where could we get a suitable failsafe for this?
Thanks
james have you got a br reciever?

Failsafes will not work with a Specktrum receiver ...it always outputs a valid signal.
In the case of a BR6000 that loses touch with the transmitter ... as in tech checking..it outputs the positional signals that were set at binding ... I.E. Motors off and weapon off .
An AR6000 failsafes on only one channel ..throttle ...and holds the last signal it got on all the others.
Adrian, i dont think we do, it saysDX6000 on the reciever.
Woody, what could we do other than buying a failsafe?
sorry it took me so long to get back
Youve given an odd designation for the receiver ..
You should have one of these in the bot.

Solution ...assuming you havent got the correct receiver ... buy one.
An alternative is perhaps to go the route Terry miles took in the Futaba 6ex FASST thread.

Im starting this thread off again because weve got some falisafes now.
Weve still got the wotty and specturm but when the failsafes are plugged in they have no effect. if we use the Technobots tx and rx it works. does this mean we cant use spectrum with the failsafes?
thankc

As Woody said you wont get any known failsafes to work with a spektrum. My suggestion is get BR6000 Rx from the coopers, i believe they are about to do an order. Or the Futaba system, seems to work ok although Ive never played about with it.
cheers ed, wouild the tx weve got oon the profile work with that?
yes the BR6000 Rx will work with the Spektrum tx

sorry about this, is thqat James Cooper or Paul Cooper?
james or grant cooper from robochallenge
thanks john, well get there in the end :-)
