Not sure what idiot savant would give this video a thumbs down, but clearly, they're out there. Outstanding video/tutorial. This was really ahead of its time, as the sUAS boom is now upon us with the rise in educational degrees to fill the rising number of sUAS piloting jobs. Those new to sUAS or RC need/want lighting systems and there is still really no one-stop-shop solution for this. This video is the first and best explanation of the components and wiring required to set up a working lighting system, whether you're a savant or new to RC and electronics. In fact, it was only by chance/luck that I found this after a week of searching...and I was amazed to see the date of the post and realize how relevant this is some 4 years later.
Exactly what I needed; ordered the part before I got through the video. Solves a lot of 'nice to have' issues I'm having with lights on my hex. Cheers!
That was the Best most informative information I have ever seen, I am right near brain dead when it comes to electronics but I believe I can do my lights now. Thank you.
Hi just purchased one of these you have taken all the headaches I was about to have assembling . Great job great explanation to genuine guy. Thanks Bob West Midlands uk.
LOL at 14:16. A rocket igniter. And from the looks of it, one of those Estes cheapies. I used to make these things when I was really into rocketry a few years ago. Great video, BTW. Thank you so much for this!
Hey, awesome video! However, I need some assistance regarding the realys. How do you wire them? I have a total of 5 pins, I know the 2 coil pins and the 2 normally closed and open, but what does the fifth one do? Some people refer to it as the COM....
Great job Doug! Thanks for that VERY informative video!! Now I have to go do a little shopping! I added LED's to my plane but mine run off a 9 volt battery and are connected to a switch that I have to manually turn on before I fly I love the multi switch. Looking forward to adding that to my Penguin. Explains a LOT of my questions. Really appreciate it!!
FYI lot of guys in are club use the non water proof light strips on are night fly/float planes and they get plenty wet flying off water and they never have a problem thanks for making these videos
Is there any reason why you do not use the momentary Push switch button on your DX6? It would be a hell of a lot easier and not shorten the life of the toggle switch.
Hello Brother, I need a help and a doubt. I have a FS-CT6B Tx & Rx. Everything is fine. But I want use any one of the two switches on the top of my Tx to just shot two wires using the Rx. How can i do that? Plz Help.
Each 5050 LED has more than one LED inside, I think there is 3 or 5 led's inside each 5050, so your strip of 5050 led draws way more current so if you go above 500ma you will burn out the switch so use a relay as Glassdogangle said.
So this is great. But what if I want to run two LED strobes along with the Nav, and landing lights? Is there some sort of sequencer I could put inline to get that to happen?
Good job,awesome videos How do i calibration the multi-switch to my taranis x9d radio also how can i get the lights to strobes, can you send me a link to buy the relay
is the battery that powers the multi-switch the one that powers the rest of the electronics(servos, motor, etc.) or the battery that powers the receiver?
can you link the exact plane you are using. i would like to think that would be a good plane to use for park flying with LEDs. Also, is there any way to connect LEDs to the balance lead from the battery instead of the main leads. I don't want to put an extra battery in the foam plane (too much weight). And I would like to have the full voltage due to LEDs requiring 12v and balance leads from the battery need to be in series and they are not, there are just indivicual leads from all the positives and the the negative. so that would be parallel and only give the 4.2v (fully charged lipo) as opposed to a 3S 12.6v (fully charged 100% full). Thanks man!!!
Question? My patented controller doesn't have any extra aux channels for me to extra devices such as led, etc. I wish to place a retractable landing gear unit with it. How can achieve this? Yuneec Q500 and ST10+
I use s dx6 on my eflite apprentice. I've a got an on/off receiver control switch, but no spare port on my rx. Can I use one that is used and turn them off/that way??.
Is there an LED or some kind of flash that is strong enough to be seen during the day from a distance, such as when your drone is flown to a point where it's just a tiny dot and you end up losing where it's at. A bright flash that you can engage with a remote will help you find the drone. Is there such a thing?
hello glassdogangle i am buying a f16 fighter jet that i am going to use as a display piece in my living room suspended from my cathedral ceilings, is there a way i can activate the multi function switch with some sort of wireless remote and turn all the lights on at one time? thank you in advance
I want to add an LED, light to an old router, most new tools have LED's that come on with a squeeze of the trigger, (ala drills and such), so my question is, can I use the 110v inside, and step it down with a resistor? If anyone has done this, please comment. Thanks
How would My ESC fit into this setup? With the ESC pluged into channel 3 that supplys power to the Rx do I still need the other Bat? Just Confused...Again a new be.
I have a question. I have this LED navigation light system, however my 6 ch rx is already connected with all channels to my rc heli. What solution you can provide so I can install the LED lights to my scale heli? Can I directly connect the positive and negative (red and black wire) from the LED to the lipo w/out connecting it to the rx?

I just picked up one of these to operate my lights on my Ranger Ex. I am currently running an ImmersionRC receiver with 12 PPM channels assigned. To operate my camera selector, flaps, pan and tilt I have used up my "physical" channels coming directly off my receiver. Could you give me a breakdown on how you accommodate all your channels? At this point I am making choices on what I can connect and operate remotely. Can I integrate my cameras and lights onto this multiswitch? The last thing I want to do is step on my channels by assigning a physical channel that is currently being occupied by a PPM channel. Any help you can provide would be awesome. BTW, love the videos. My Ranger Ex build is based on your setup.
I use a Taranis 16 channel R/C control, with 12 channels enabled. For my Receiver, I use a 12 channel DragonLink. If you have used up all your physical channels on your receiver, you will not be able to use the switch. You need one open Rx channel to operate the multiSwitch. You can't really run your camera off of the multiswitch. The multiswitch is simply a way to power up 7 different devices one after the other using only 1 single channel on your R/C system. You would want your FPV camera to be powered up all the time from the moment you turn your plane on, not just when you power it up using the multiswitch. I mean you could, but why?
thanks for the reply. Just need one more channel..... man. I guess between pan, tilt, flaps, camera selector vs. light switch, I could just manually plug the lights in during dusk flights. thanks for the info!
82dParatrooper Hi. If you have a Futaba radio, specifically the 14SG, you can set it up in what is known as "Mode D". This gives you Chs 1-8 on the Sbus, and 9-16 on the Rx, assuming you bought the Tx as a package with the 7008 receiver. I think you can also install a 2nd Rx and bind to each of the two separately. Im guessing the DL does passthrough, but you didnt mention using it, only the host of this video said he had one. Of course if he agrees, then I will know my up-and-coming build with a DL which is on my workbench will do what I just wrote about. Hehheh.
If I place a 5v ubec between the 3s battery and the main lead into the Multi-Switch, will that allow me to use 5v devices out of the 7 ports Glassdogangle ?
Yes that is exactly correct. Whatever voltage you send into the thicker input wires is the exact voltage you will get out of each of the 7 output ports.
This answers my question too, so thanks. Next is a higher powered switch I am looking for. I will want to turn on and off an EDF at an efficient speed.
Good info...gave ya a LIKE and subscribed! Thanks!!!! One question...when a batt pack gets swollen, isn't it unsafe and a fire hazard, just sitting around? (referring to one of your other videos on the multi-switch)
I am not sure what 5050 led lights are, but if you are pulling too much current with no airflow, I can see how it would heat up. Try running it with something that has less current draw, and see if it still heats up. It could be the switch is bad somehow. I don't remember mine getting hot at all, ever!
MR2phene From post above: Each 5050 LED has more than one LED inside, I think there is 3 or 5 led's inside each 5050, so your strip of 5050 led draws way more current so if you go above 500ma you will burn out the switch so use a relay as Glassdogangle said.
Well you have definitely my deepest good envy you have managed to make out of your hobby your business.. Hope and wish one day to be able to do the same. Good luck and awesome video.
You don't have to. just make sure your LED's are same voltage as your battery voltage that supplies power to the output. unless, you are using an LED with lower voltage then you must put a resistor on each LED's. Hope that helps.
+Stephen John Alston ~~~~~> I used a Futaba receiver first, but then switched to DragonLink for more channels. The MultiSwitch works with any receiver, though.
Hey doorknob, that little "noise maker" speaker is called a Piezo buzzer. You can buy them online or at Radio Shack for $6.99.. which means painstakingly taking apart an Energizer "panic device" to get the little speaker is completely pointless. It's called deductive logic. Try it sometime.
+ShadowⓋ <~~~ Painstakingly? Hardly. I think you missed the entire point I was trying to make. The point is with a 12v battery as a power source you can take pretty much anything that runs off 12 volts and power it using the multiSwitch.
+ShadowⓋ Why in the world do you have to come on here and act so rude? There were many different ways to say it was a piezo buzzer instead of insulting. You missed the point of how he was saying you could use about anything that would work with the voltage he has available. And an FYI if someone does a search for panic alarms they will find ones for $2-$4 which dont require any other circuitry. I am an electronic tech and I am very impressed with his setup. GREAT job glass!
Tim B As if everyone has a "panic alarm" laying around their house to go through an insanely complicated procedure to make a buzzer. It's called deductive logic. Seriously dude.. How about just buy a fucking buzzer from Radio Shack? That's my point.
+ShadowⓋ You are correct and I understand it might be a lot easier just to get a little piezo buzzer, but Radio Shacks are getting harder to find and it is even harder to find actual electronics parts in many of them anymore. Just stating "Buying a piezo buzzer from radio shack would be easier" would have been so much more respectable. He was kind enough to record and post this video for people why be rude to him, just inform and educate thanks RadioShack piezo buzzer 6-18vdc sku 2730059 $3.99
All lipo batteries puff up like that due to a normal chemical reaction in them, this happens once they're getting old and it's a good sign that they should not be used any more because they're likely to burst open and spew fire. They aren't useless, but they're only good for a few applications.
Sorry for the spelling error, I meant "bloated". It looks as if they were swelling up. I remember reading somewhere when I purchased my maxamps lipos to stop using them if they started to swell up. Anyways, awesome video! Id like to see more accessory opportunities!
Absolutely not. How inconsiderate of me to not realize my comment Was out of place. I will lock myself into my iron maiden for the rest of The day as pennance. It was however just about on par with your statement Telling him the obvious, ie, that Amazon had already gotten a FAA COA. This is after all A US citizen posting a video on a US owned company.
Not sure what idiot savant would give this video a thumbs down, but clearly, they're out there.

You are very welcome!
I glad u find it easy solder the led lights, my foam melted and even the strip too, cheers graham.
Hi just purchased one of these you have taken all the headaches I was about to have assembling .
Great job great explanation to genuine guy.
Thanks Bob West Midlands uk.
Glad you enjoyed it! You can get one of these switches in 2-3 days by clicking in the link in the description box below the video!
Got one for my plane and another one for when I screw something up and blow it up and I'll have a replacement to put in! Thanks Doug!!
LOL at 14:16. A rocket igniter. And from the looks of it, one of those Estes cheapies. I used to make these things when I was really into rocketry a few years ago. Great video, BTW. Thank you so much for this!

Just bought one of these, they're still there in 2015! They're even using a pic of glassdog's plane as an advertise pic!
Is there any reason why you do not use the momentary Push switch button on your DX6? It would be a hell of a lot easier and not shorten the life of the toggle switch.
for someone like me who dabbles and i mean dabbles in elctronics for rc planes,this is a fantastic video.thankyou.
This is brilliant! Just what I was looking for. Didn't know it has been around for like 7 years 😃 that's cool

Excellent video. I laughed everytime something was brought up about the rocket launch. I knew nothing about mutliswitches until I watched this.
Thank you for the vídeo on the muliti switch and the use of muti meter. Iam learning a lot from your videos.
So this is great. But what if I want to run two LED strobes along with the Nav, and landing lights? Is there some sort of sequencer I could put inline to get that to happen?
Hey, I have a FMS transmitter and it don't have all the bells and whistles your has. How would I set my transmitter up to run lights?
Good job,awesome videos How do i calibration the multi-switch to my taranis x9d radio also how can i get the lights to strobes, can you send me a link to buy the relay

glassdogangle Hi quick question, is it required to have a HAM radio license to be able to operate and use the Dragonlink system?
I use s dx6 on my eflite apprentice. I've a got an on/off receiver control switch, but no spare port on my rx. Can I use one that is used and turn them off/that way??.
0.6 amps. 7.2 watts according to a few forums. I don't have anything to be able to check it with
Thank you for the explanation on relays. that really helped me understand how they work
how can we take this video and apply it to the 350 qx3 drone since the receiver is built into the main board?
Is there an LED or some kind of flash that is strong enough to be seen during the day from a distance, such as when your drone is flown to a point where it's just a tiny dot and you end up losing where it's at. A bright flash that you can engage with a remote will help you find the drone. Is there such a thing?
This is a GREAT video!!!! Bought this and couldn't be happier with the device! Thanks!
hello glassdogangle i am buying a f16 fighter jet that i am going to use as a display piece in my living room suspended from my cathedral ceilings, is there a way i can activate the multi function switch with some sort of wireless remote and turn all the lights on at one time? thank you in advance
OK, how do I wire the relay to light off the rocket motor igniter? What is the best way to launch the bottle rockets?
Scratch that, You're awesome that was a great explanation. I've now got a set up where I can fire rockets!
I have the foxtechfpv 3 way cam switch. Can you do the same with that switch ?
Hey, this is exactly what I’m looking for, do you still sell them?
I want to add an LED, light to an old router, most new tools have LED's that come on with a squeeze of the trigger, (ala drills and such), so my question is, can I use the 110v inside, and step it down with a resistor? If anyone has done this, please comment. Thanks
One more question .....what is that that you are using to power your "cheap" receiver? That has to run off of 5v right?
I think I was using a LiFe battery pack. I was using that battery pack originally to power my receiver in a large nitro powered airplane.
Man you put a poor cat inside your plane(0:12-0:16) and it was shocked by those strobing lights .. Ha , nice fit ! :)
How would My ESC fit into this setup? With the ESC pluged into channel 3 that supplys power to the Rx do I still need the other Bat? Just Confused...Again a new be.
you plug a seperate battery to the jst plug on the multiswitch. the servo wire from the multiswitch will got to a free channel on the rx
Where can I buy led lights for that kit
My switch will not light up when I flick my tx switch any trouble shooting help!!!?
I have a question. I have this LED navigation light system, however my 6 ch rx is already connected with all channels to my rc heli. What solution you can provide so I can install the LED lights to my scale heli? Can I directly connect the positive and negative (red and black wire) from the LED to the lipo w/out connecting it to the rx?
No, I think you would need the yellow (data) wire connected to control the multi switch.
Really great video. In depth and easy to listen to :)

One question...when a batt pack gets swollen, isn't it unsafe and a fire hazard, just sitting around? (referring to one of your other videos on the multi-switch)
if it's swollen, don't use it in your plane.
I saw someone using an Arduino for that. I saw a headache is what I saw. This unit is way more simplified.
Where did you get the strobo light?
WAY cool vid man! Thanks for taking the time to make it.
I ran two lengths of 5050 led lights on my sky walker and the switch is getting extremely hot! What do I do? They are 12v leds.
I am not sure what 5050 led lights are, but if you are pulling too much current with no airflow, I can see how it would heat up. Try running it with something that has less current draw, and see if it still heats up. It could be the switch is bad somehow. I don't remember mine getting hot at all, ever!

glassdogangle m.ebay.com/itm/221554685630?nav=SEARCH. This is the same led strip but green and red
MR2phene I checked the listing for those LEDs. I wonder what the current draw is? That's the most important thing here, and it is not listed :(
MR2phene From post above: Each 5050 LED has more than one LED inside, I think there is 3 or 5 led's inside each 5050, so your strip of 5050 led draws way more current so if you go above 500ma you will burn out the switch so use a relay as Glassdogangle said.
You are welcome!
Outstanding video. Very well done, most useful.
How do u power the Led ring headlight? I read on hobbyking it pulls more than 500 mah?
+vonown3d --- I use the multiSwitch as described in the video to power the LED ring at the front.
+glassdogangle i see, is it the hobbyking one? do u know the amp pull on it? thx for the good vids!
+vonown3d --- Yes it is the HK one. I don't know what the amp draw is. Haven't flown her in over a year.
You are a genius dude. Great video!
Well you have definitely my deepest good envy you have managed to make out of your hobby your business.. Hope and wish one day to be able to do the same. Good luck and awesome video.
Awesome tutorial!
Wonderful aircraft thanks for sharing
Very educational for beginner like me...........!
Hi
Where can u buy the led controller?Thanks
Banggood
Do I need to run a inline resistor to every LED light? Like I said, I'm right next to brain dead when it comes to electronics. Again Thanks.
You don't have to. just make sure your LED's are same voltage as your battery voltage that supplies power to the output. unless, you are using an LED with lower voltage then you must put a resistor on each LED's. Hope that helps.
Okay great! Your Multi-Switches are already packaged and will be at the post office first thing! Check your original eBay order for tracking info...
very cool. I'm still waiting for my channel wizard. no word yet. it will be very cool if i ever get it.
Oh yeah...I really enjoyed your fpv video you did 3 months ago and wanted you to do a....i stopped it there so I could write this... XD
what receiver did you use?
+Stephen John Alston ~~~~~> I used a Futaba receiver first, but then switched to DragonLink for more channels. The MultiSwitch works with any receiver, though.

As if everyone has a "panic alarm" laying around their house to go through an insanely complicated procedure to make a buzzer. It's called deductive logic. Seriously dude.. How about just buy a fucking buzzer from Radio Shack? That's my point.
+ShadowⓋ You are correct and I understand it might be a lot easier just to get a little piezo buzzer, but Radio Shacks are getting harder to find and it is even harder to find actual electronics parts in many of them anymore.
Just stating "Buying a piezo buzzer from radio shack would be easier" would have been so much more respectable.

Does any else see how "boated" the LiPo looks? is that normal??
boated?
All lipo batteries puff up like that due to a normal chemical reaction in them, this happens once they're getting old and it's a good sign that they should not be used any more because they're likely to burst open and spew fire. They aren't useless, but they're only good for a few applications.
Sorry for the spelling error, I meant "bloated". It looks as if they were swelling up. I remember reading somewhere when I purchased my maxamps lipos to stop using them if they started to swell up. Anyways, awesome video! Id like to see more accessory opportunities!
