Default Spektrum radio and the MFU.

I have been asked to explain how I use the Pico switch with the MFU while using a Spektrum radio.

I use the Pico switch to break the signal going to the shift input on the MFU so you can turn the MFU on and off with the flip of a switch.

If there are any questions just ask.

Default Re: Spektrum radio and the MFU.

Here is a short video explaining the the use of a servo programmer. I mainly use the programmer just to set the center point of a servo before installing the servo in the truck. The programmer can also be used with digital servos to set endpoints,speed and torque in the servo it's self if you don't have a programmable radio. I use the HiTec just because that is my preferred type of servo but there are programmers for other brands.

If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will try to answer them.

Pico is made by Sabertooth. One place you can find it is robotmarketplace.com
Hobbyking sells similar switch which is like 15 USD cheaper, check it out too!

The pico switch is made by Dimension Engineering and you can order right off their web site. They are quick to process your order and ship it out. Their customer service is next to none I would give them a 10 on a scale of 1-10.

Here is the link to the pico switch.
