Does that mean I can connect the 11.1v battery to the speed controller and it will still work?
Thanks, you've made me more confident wiring them up (after the blow up, I was scared to wire another part to the battery ).
Track down, download and most importantly READ the manuals or instruction leaflets for all the parts you have (if they weren't supplied).
From this information you should find:
The voltage of you battery pack (11.1V)
The maximum voltage for your receiver (6V)
The connections to your receiver
That the speed controller provides a BEC (battery eliminator circuit)
That the BEC can be used to power the receiver
How to wire up the speed controller to the battery, motors and receiver
...and lots lots more!
BTW having let the smoke out of your receiver, you may well find that it is now terminally dead. Only if your very very lucky will no lasting damage have been done. An expensive lesson...
Thank you so much! I Try and ask people in my area and no one knows anything about robots . So I found this site and it's great, Lots of help, I learn a lot from you guys. I try not to be to annoying asking for too much help .
If I were to make a flipper, the wheels were moved by motors and the flipper was moved by a servo, do I attach the servo to the reciever or to the third connector on the speed controller that's for a weapon?
