user 'robert' has been very busy converting all my sketches into superb drawings so this will be the place for lots of wiring diagrams: 1. using the 'action electronics' dual-esc with 3 motors: the diodes make the inner motor run when going forward (with 1,4 volts less than the outer motor with the higher voltage level). also they prevent the esc from being destroyed by the 'connected' outputs. a standard 5amps diode will do...

2. wiring of a modified mini servo: if the voltage doesn't exceed 1,5 volts there's no need for using diodes and microswitches + removing servo notch. (servo motor has not enough power to destroy gearbox or notch then). so the notch can be used to stop servo movement. this voltage limit can be achieved by either using a single cell or mini-esc with some resistors (see no. 4)

3. a standard 3-motor-setup with v-mixer:

4. turret control with modified servos and 4ch radio:

5. similar to above, for those who ran out of channels (like me... ;D) the esc-switch-off-circuit prevents the outer motors from being powered by the v-mixer while turning the turrets. this is how i motorized my turrets with my poor 3ch radio

a german fellow asked me for a special wiring diagram: turning+elevating of all turrets with a 3ch radio(3rd channel is a simple switching channel) - front and rear turrets independent from each other.. servos are modified (electronics removed), relays are ones with 4 changeover contacts relay 5 switches off the prop drive while controlling the turrets controls: 1. ch3 switch (on transmitter) in neutral position: cruise mode, no turret control 2. ch3 switch in position1 activates anton/bruno: turret left/right by rudder stick - barrels up/down by throttle stick 3. ch3 switch in position2 activates cäsar/dora: turret left/right by rudder stick - barrels up/down by throttle stick

wiring diagram for the 15cm turrets: if you don't have a switching module you can also affix a microswitch to a servo. connecting the yellow/brown wire makes all turrets face the sea, disconnecting the wires makes them go to neutral position again this drawing shows how i used the slowing module with my 3ch seutp:

this might be a way to connect a smoke generator without using an own channel. motor's voltage more than 3volts = smoke on / less than 3volts = smoke off

as requested, a 2-motor setup with v-mixer
