Light system options?

[Sentinel]

Have a look at the HeyOk lighting controllers that RC4WD are now selling.

http://store.rc4wd.com/Brake-Reverse...er_p_3131.html

This particular one has several outputs, you can have an always on for headlights, a switched output for driving lights that comes on with forward throttle, the tail lights are dim while driving and are always bright for brake lights with the throttle in the neutral position, and with reverse throttle the reverse lights come on.

You could always just ditch the switched front output and you have always on headlights and tails, with switched brake and reverse.

They've recently started selling their products and they have a few different options for lighting modules.

It is called a Turbo9

We are already using servonaut for sound but, that does look like an interesting option.

S20 with rear and brake lights in conjunction with a ml4 do the job now :-)

We are using SMX and already have all of the control functions mixed to control the sound. So, with your setup do you still have the beeper sound when backing up and do you have all of your stick movements mixed to sound? That would be great to have the back up beeper.

That looks like a nice system and it seems to do everything we need.

I dont use sound in the cat.smx&s20 can be combined and the rear beeper will work.

For the stick movements: do you refer to the valve movements ?

Tom,

i like to have all of the engine rev anytime work is done so, if i have enough mixes available i mix everything to command the sound.

i just overhauled this machine for someone and all i need to do is figure out which light system we are going with so that i can clean up the wiring.

Scott, I don't think any operator, or 1:1 machine would be on the job very long, with direction changes taking place without idling the engine down first. It seems less realistic to me with the RPMs running up when cycling the hydraulics.

Nathan,

Here is a vid of a full scale 996G, turn up your speakers and notice how much it throttles up just turning:

and this how i set up an RC 996G:

Much more realistic than just having the drive run the sound IMHO.

Nathan, i just watched more front end loader videos and i see what you mean about going to idle when you change directions... so, you would only mix the sound to the drive? What if you run the lift or turn when you are not moving, would the engine speed up on a full scale machine?

I am getting one of these units to power the reversing and brake lights on my Robbe Linde H50 FLT
