Fechter's Throttle Interface for RC controllers

[PowerPedro]

Hello

I enhanced the schematic of fechters throttle interface to be able to measure 3 temperatures (Motor, ECS, Battery) with adjustable limits. If thresholds are overpassed it can be shown via seperated LEDs. Maybe some of you can make use of it. I did not test it yet but i will as soon as i get my interface...

Best regards Peter

If you don't need individual LED indicators, I think you could use any number of temperature sensors by using the arrangement below. The upper divider resistor on each thermistor (shown as 10k) could be tweaked for individual temperature set points. Whichever one gets overtemp first will pull down through the diodes and trigger the current reduction. Less parts this way.

Hey Fetcher,

Any chance of getting one of these off of you still please? I'm a newbie wanting to run an astro 3210 with Matts signle stage reduction drive and a castle controller. Thank you! Rana

I'm not building those any more. There is a better version:

If you really want a 100% microprocessor-free design, I still have a few bare boards left.

The E-S community owes you a big 'thank you' for turning this concept into reality and filling a product gap that made a number of builds possible.

Is there another place to go for these? I'm really hoping to not have to make my own. Thanks!

There is (not sure Mr Fecther has any of these left) if not there is a digital pc programmable unit available forum member evlogic ? i think it is sell them for ~$US100 bucks IIRC? I have one of Fecthers needed a lil tweaking (thanks again Mr Fecther) and now it works BRILLIANTLY...I have heard the digital version is also very good too.

Not sure what happened to his For Sale thread.......

I think it just got auto-pruned after 60 days.

I don't have any boards left.
