Default RE: On Board glow starter

ORIGINAL: Geistware

Don't use the RX battery for the glow.
You will need to add another battery.
RX is 4.8 or 6.0 volts. Glow is 1.2 or 1.5 volts

6v rx battery... 4.5v resistor... 1.5v resultant voltage... resistor burns out.. who cares its already on the ground :-D (just dont wire it so its dependant on the starter having a compleate circuit... would require almost no rom at all you could even conenct the switch to the throttle servo when it hits max it turns on the circuit


I like the c-tronics unit as it is easy to set up. The problem I have is that the second time I hooked it up, the glow plug connector fell apart!
solder...
