Connecting 2 different modules to same channel ?
« on: November 09, 2016, 01:53:38 am »


Hiya guys,


Ive been looking at a couple of modules, one is for a steam effect & one for sound effect.


Both of which need to be connected to same channel on my RX (throttle) . How would the wiring for this be done?


Each module (Steam & Sound) has to be connected like this (please exscuse my diagram skills!):


Diagram


As you can see each terminal on the ESC & RX needs to have both the Steam & Sound Module plugged into it,how would this be possible?


Thanks

As Barrie says, a Y lead from the rx to each module.
Only one will need connecting to the esc.

You will need 2 y leads 1 to Rx 1 to speed control other leg to the second y lead and the other 2 legs to your sound and smoke unit.

HI Tizdaz
The boat captain is right.

One Y lead connects from the receiver to the ESC (speed controller) and to the other Y lead for the sound and steam module.

If the modules have a sraight through function,
One Y lead from rx to each module and a single
Lead to the esc from the the through connection
on either of the modules.
Going by the diag/description, this would suffice.
