Limit switch business is now all done! Many thanks for the diagram, Dave, it works an absolute treat. I was dreading mounting the microswitches; part of me told me it was going to be a real fiddle. Thankfully, it went quite smoothly. Worked first time, perfect cut off timing!

After connecting the new ESC for the lifter and the rx, we've lost the use of our toggles (they allowed us to isolate drive and the weapon, for safety and convenience when testing). We can't tell at all why, if we unplug the channel again the toggles work as they always have. It's bizarre. So, instead of trying to fix it, we've decided to lose them. More things to go wrong in battle, so it's actually probably a good thing.

So, getting rid of those toggles aside, we've got to wire in a powerlight, tidy up the cables a little, and the wiring should be complete!

It weighs almost 11kg at the moment, it doesn't feel any less nippy for it, though. We spent a few minutes bashing about the living room. It lifted the sofas! Pushed them about a fair bit too. We may not be pretty, but we won't go down without a fight! NST, Inertia, you best be prepared! We might lift you to death! :twisted:

Will get a video up soon.

Next big job is the armour, and then it should be ready for the champs.
