Re: Power output on I/O port
Luckly, this it for a non-competition project I'm playing around with.

It appears that the constent power on the Servo outputs is ~7.2v. What I would like to do is be able to send either no power, or full 7.2v power based on either a bummper switch or Channel 6 on controller.
I'm fine with the programming side of things, but I can't figure out how to get the full 7.2v based on any programmatic logic.

A spike relay sounds like it might be the direction I'm thinking. Would it use the control plug of one of the I/O or servo ports to send the full power rail through? If thats the case, would I be better off using an exterval 9v battery as my provided power so I don't fry the RC?

Thanks
