How to Add Gun Lights to Your RC Plane

[@dannybear3121]

Are you kidding me?!?!?!? Seeing those lights from the cockpit is awesome!!! This looks amazing. Nice work!

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Haha thank you so much! It feels so cool to see them with fpv!

[@shanesdiy]

AWESOME!!! Great job finding a perfect solution for this project, it turned out great. Now make a machine gun audio track and play the track on the radio when you fire the guns!

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Haha thank you very much! And you've totally read my mind, and I've been trying to figure out the audio side of it too!

[@shanesdiy]

@@InvertedAviatorsRC I'm sure you'll figure out a great solution but if you are interested, here are the settings I use when generating audio files for my Radiomaster Radios. I use Audacity and these are my settings. Mono 32000Hz 32-bit float Adjust gain so no red shows Select desired section of audio track File -> Export -> Export Selected Audio (or Export As Wav if entire track) Save as wav encoding Signed 16-bit PCM EdgeTX can use 6 characters max plus the file extension

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Oh heck yeah thank you so much!!! I’ll look into it!

[@tonyyimbo]

That’s awesome! So much brighter than I expected

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Yeah the lights may be small, but they pack a lot of punch! I'll say that even seeing them on the video doesn't do them justice in person!

[@tonyyimbo]

@@InvertedAviatorsRC they really do !

Love open source transmitters. Try that with a Spekjunk transmitter

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Ah I’m not familiar with “Spekjunk”, but I do know that Spektrum transmitters are super solid and we use them to fly all of our UMX planes. While I do love open source transmitters, it is also possible to love something without spreading hate towards other things in this hobby

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

Man thats cool. I like it

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Thank you so much!

[@rlbutterfield]

Very neat! Complicated, but very neat. 👍🏻🙂

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Thank you very much! I can't wait to get a few more flights with them installed because they are so cool!

[@alexandernentwig9596]

Complicated? I found just the opposite… brilliant idea to realize that at almost no additional cost! I was sure he used a μC. Well done guys, the effect is amazing! No solution for Spektrum TX though, unfortunately.

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Unfortunately yeah I couldn't find a spektrum solution, mostly because the edgetx solution requires some coding, which is lots more difficult in spektrum.

[@thereal-stl_slim]

Doing this MOD!!!!!!!!! Awesome video 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Thank you so much! Let us know if you have any questions on the process! Are you doing it to a corsair, or to a different plane?

[@thereal-stl_slim]

@@InvertedAviatorsRC doing a Corsair Annie' MO graphics, using a slightly different unit. I will be making videos soon, nothing fancy just like sharing the hobby. By the way You were the ones who made fpv possible for me by explaining it like humans! God bless brother!

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Oh that's awesome! I'm stoked to help someone into the fpv side of this hobby! If you want to join our discord to share some pictures of the process we'd love to have you!

[@shanesdiy]

Curious, why is the output set to 97.7 and not 100 on the lua?

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Hah you know that's a great question. I've looked into it and I can't find a conclusive answer. I do know that since the potentiometer is so sensitive, the lights would work even if the output went from -20 to 20. But great catch, and I really don't know why it isn't all the way up...

[@funflyingfools3327]

My radio doesn't give me the custom scripts screen. I have a Jumper t20 elrs radio. Is there possibly another way to execute the lua?

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Oh no! If radio has EdgeTX it *should* be able to operate in the same was as the Zorro. Are you able to connect to the EdgeTX web companion app so you can look at all the settings?

[@funflyingfools3327]

@ I found a work around and it isn’t as fast flashing as yours but it works. My radio just doesn’t have the same setup as yours to read lua scripts. If it does I haven’t been able to figure it out. I wish KZbin would let me post what I did with mine to show you. I even recorded a machine gun sound track to play when I flip the switch to turn them on.

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Oh that sounds awesome! If you join our discord I’d love to see it in action!

[@Mikeylikesit1968]

You made one boo boo, you put landing gear on backwards 😅

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Sorry I don’t know what you mean, I just checked with EFlites website and it looks like it’s in correctly. It also folds into the plane and looks like it should. Is there something wrong with the wiring?
