does anyone know if you can use the lights from mfu on servonaut system:D

Re: servonaut
 

The voltage might be too much..The servonaut runs via 12volt

Re: servonaut
 

I have a servonaut BMA pump controller in my roll on/off skip truck and it runs quite happily on 7.2V

Re: servonaut
 

Hello,

Servonaut runs with 7.2 or 12 Volt. You can switch.

Visit the servonaut - homepage to get more information about.

How it works with MFU - I don't know. I think you will find some more information in german foren as www.modelltruck.net or www.modelltruckforum.de. But those discussions are only in german language.

Maybe it helps.

Re: servonaut
 

thanks for the help guys i just want to know if you can take the mfu leds and wire them up to servonaut system and they will work

Re: servonaut
 

You can, but you have to put some resistors on the LED's from MFU :)

Re: servonaut
 

does anyone know what resistors i will need for the led s

Re: servonaut
 

Its going to depend on how many leds you run on one circuit, when I did the lighting on my servonaut unit I bought a package with 500 resistors that ranged from just a few ohms to thousands(maybe $10 at radio shack). The calculations aren't hard at all to figure it out just have to know the voltage of each led(not sure what the mfu leds are rated at) and the out put voltage of the unit(I used 7.2V and everything works fine). I'm sure someone will chime in with the formula, I can't think of it at the moment.

I'm sure there are some mistakes, so hopefully someone straightens my mistakes out :confused:

High

you can calculate the resistors with a LED-Calculator. You can search in the Inet.

I got a link to a German calculator - maybe it will help

This is the one I use when working out what Led's resistors and even wiring diagram:

Re: servonaut
 

thanks guys i just dont know the mah of the mfu leds or the the voltage of them

Re: servonaut
 

4.6volts off the mfc on the tail lights.
