[Music] hi guys it’s Martin Pickering here and today we’re going to be having a look at the power box systems light box unit so what is the light box it’s exactly what it says on the tin it controls the lights on our model whether we have some lights on our wing tips or we have a completely scale model which has to replicate in every detail the full-size this is what we’re going to use for the lights inside the package we have the manual which hopefully we won’t be needing but time we finish with this video some wires which we can use to plug in the LEDs or make up our own whatever we want a nice little sticker and of course the actual box itself the box itself is the same size and shape as the well-known power box systems sparks which it worked innovation in the way as well they receive a signal and the controlling point therefore for switching over the lights comes in a warning and the LEDs come out the other it has four sockets for the LEDs each one of those can be programmed individually however you want so the lights can simply come on and stay on flash you can strobe or even have an afterburner if you have more than for any of these as will most likely be the case simply gang these together on the effect that you want so you can have four completely separate effects on a model even though you can have many more LEDs actually working on it the power is taken from the receiver or depending on how you have it plugged into is the alternate power box at the 5.9 or seven point four volts that that is set to however if you want to use a separate lipo to have a completely separate system you can do that as well simply plug in the external battery be one cell to several three cell and automatically it will detect that there’s an extra battery connected and it will only take power from that it also has a USB socket where you can plug in the and USB dongle all the blue come adapter so you can do it from your phone or tablet okay so here we have our light box installed as we would have it in our model battery to receiver receiver to light box and light box to LEDs in my case because the LEDs are 12 volt I’m going to be running an external battery to power them specifically a 3 cell lipo we’ve also connected the blue cone so we can program what each one of the 4 LEDs is going to do so first of all let’s power the system on just turn the receiver on and straight out of the box the LEDs have some pre assigned functions on them the receiver channel the top load them into is the throttle so as you can see I can turn them off the throttle and then back on again or depending on where we have the settings in the program we’ll be able to tell them on at different positions of the throttle stick so let’s just turn that off for the moment we go to our mobile terminal app search for light box and quick connect okay I’m just going to cover up the second third and fourth LEDs so we can focus on the first one which is connected to output number one now once we open the power box program the first page shows us the signal type Peter will um is when we connect the receiver to the light box with a single patch lead basically taking up a channel normally that’s how it’ll always be connected however if you decide to connect it via an bus system you can also simply select which bus system you’re using and it will take the signal from there below it we have the cutoff voltage which will set at what voltage we want the light box to turn off to avoid over discharging our batteries on the second page we have output number 1 here we can see that we can change the on offset point what that means is the position in which the LED will turn on or effect so within the throw that we have on our radio rather than it having the the only option to be on or off in the center we can have it come on earlier or later that allows us to play in such a way that if we want to have different light settings say two or three different settings one for landing one for takeoff or one for flying we can do that by simply by playing with the on offset point got that back to the center for simplicity for now we can see that the function that we currently have set for that LED is a solid light in other words it will come on when we go past that halfway point and it will turn off when we go past the halfway point in the other direction that is gone in the case if we change it to flashlights it flashes as you would expect and here we now have some options we can actually change how long we want it to be off for in between flashes and how long we wanted to be gone for and whilst it’s flashing except anything that we want to pretty much we also have a double flash wave that is twice and again in the settings we can change how long we want it to be on for each one of those flashes and how long we want it to be in between each of those flashes so again we just change that slightly we can immediately see the change you can have it as a beacon where it simulates the light going round and we can change the speed at which that beacon is supposedly spinning it so we slow that down you can see a lot easier what that simulates and we can really slow that down if need be and finally we also have the afterburner option where when we change from on to off position it will have that wonderful effect even after burn as you can see all these changes that we’re making in the program instantly take place in the lightbox itself and no further saving or changes in essence a once you finish just go back or swap over onto the next applet that you went to modify all four outputs have exactly the same screens so just modify accordingly to whatever you need [Music]
