High voltage on skyline?

[kjetilhansen]

Hello!

I have been following the skyline thread, and thanks to that thread, I now have a working AV200 with skyline Buut, it's still on "low voltage"...

I have a cable harness that came with the skyline, please see picture:

This is the harness that came with the Skyline...

I have this setup:

Here i have the pan tilt and roll inputs in the reciver, the "roll pot" is not connected to anything, the roll servo is not connected to anything.

I use the harness and that have a input for power, here I use the 7,2V and on the same battery, I have a ubec with 5 volt that is used to power the Skyline. When I power up, the LED goes solid, and it just tilts to one side and just blinks red with 1 or 2 seconds...


From the skyline:

Roll Servo : Empty
Pan Servo: Pan Servo
Tilt Servo : To cable harness
Pan Servo : Reciver
Tilt Servo : Reciver
Roll servo : Reciver
Roll Pot : Empty


I need to run high voltage, cause it's slow when i use the 5 volts the ubec provides...

Anybody knows how to do this?

PS; This is the harness that is connected to the skyline

Is there any other way I can run high voltage on this without that harness?

Hi,

Skyline is rate for 7.2V MAXIMUM. I fried mine while I was beta testing it by using a 2S LiPo (7.2v is 2S in my mind...)

If you want o run your servo with 7V and up you must power your servo apart from the skyline. just use the signal cable to the skyline and power your servo from a dedicated Ubec.
Link the ground from your ubec and from the skyline together.

Fresh 2S lipo is sometimes above 8.4v

Yeah, my setup as we can se on the picture is 2 ubec on the same battery, one with 5V to skyline, and the other with 7,2 to the servos, when I power up this the servo roll a bit to the right and then starts flashing red.. But I will try 1001 Copters tip, I will twist the ground wire together after the ubec and see if that works
