    Just put together another circuit today, plug it into the receiver and it will switch on and off a relay or whatever you like, a pot to set the stick position and all. Very useful. Its going into the tractor for onboard joystick control, to enable or disable it from the radio.

    Fairly windy today but come up over the weekend if you like anyway.

    Yes i have it turning on a 5v bulb at the minute, but it will be switching a relay in the tractor, instead of using a servo operating a micro switch. Switching a relay needs a diode for the back emf thing. If your up sunday you can have a look. You can buy them cheap enough from hobbyking but decided to make one.

    It was very windy up here today.
