Huzzah! The one connection I didn't check/change, typical...

Good spot Jonny. Hopefully that'll solve the Brushless issues.

The Sabertooth now has it's Error light on permanently so I really don't know what's going on there.

Re: Team Thrifty /Fifty Build Diary for Bitza

Just thinking about wiring up the disk on Bitza 2, I have a Relay and I'm hacking a servo, (thanks to some links I got given earlier)

But....

I can't think of a way to reverse the spin direction with this setup.

What would I need? And would it be worth while?

Bitza is invertible, so although we could continue running, being upside down may render the weapon useless.

I plan on hacking a Servo coupled with a Relay for our weapon control along the lines of this;

or;

Except these examples use Mosfets, how would my set up with a Relay differ?

Thanks,

Coming along well, I plan on making the battle switch from a servo in the next couple of days, I'll update how that goes.
