Depth Controller DC1 69,00 €

Wed, 22 May 2024 22:49:07 +0200

The DC1 allows stabilizing a model submarine at a desired depth. It is connected directly to and powered by the receiver. The module can be operated by a control stick as well as a rotary or linear slider on the transmitter. The servo signal is passed on to a pitch controller connected to the output pins of the module allowing the automatic control of depth and pitch of the model.

The DC1 offers two operational modes which are set by a jumper.

MODE 1: Active when NO jumper is set. DC1 then holds the actual depth as long as the control stick remains in its middle position (neutral). Moving the stick up or downwards forces the model to alter its depth until the stick is moved back to neutral. The control range ends at a depth of about 1 to 1.5 meters. Larger depths are possible but will not be kept automatically by the module. Furthermore, as soon as the stick is set back to neutral with the model at such larger depths, the submarine will be steered back within standard control range.

MODE 2: Active when jumper is set. DC1 will bring the model to the depth as given by the transmitter. With the conrol stick set to surface the model will also remain resurfaced. The more the control stick is moved downward the more the model submerges. Depth adjustment within the surface area is rather limited. Adjustment increases with the control stick at about half way down. This allows very precise control to periscope as well as larger depths. The control range ends at a depth of about 1 to 1.5 meters as in MODE 1. Moving the stick all the way downward allows the model to exceed this depth all the way down to the bottom.

The DC1 is connected to the receiver with the lead protruding the module. The depth sensor of the module requires an outboard connection such as a piece of brass tube glued into the WTC. This outboard connector is then connected to the sensor via the silicone tube supplied.

Pitch Controller DLx2 79,00 €

Fri, 14 Jun 2024 12:07:26 +0200

Single or Dual Pitch Control - with adjustable servo throw!

The DLx2: fast, durable and equipped with loads of features.

The DLx2 can handle standard dive planes as well as X-rudders of model submarines such as type 212. There are two servo inputs and outputs. For standard dive planes with single dive plane servo only one input is used.

Dual Pitch Controller with integrated X-Mixer
This state-of-the-art pitch controller can handle even the fastest model submarine such as our new 212!
Its high definition sensor combined with a newly developed software and layout allow the DLx2 to easily cope with modern digital servos.

Special features:

- Integrated mixer for X-rudders. This allows appropriate and precise control of X-rudders without having to invest in an expensive R/C system. The X-mixer is simply "on board" of the the DLx2 - no sophisticated R/C system or complicated programming required.

- Automatic pitch reverse. As soon as the motor draws more than 2V in reverse pitch control also reverts the servo signal, meaning that the DLx2 will keep the model in its horizontal position even in backward motion. This mode is also indicated by a red LED on-board of the DLx.

- Click to neutral. The DLx2 can be mounted in any position at any angle. Just bring planes to neutral and press button - pitch control is now brought to neutral.

- Servo reverse. Depending on submarine and installation of servo(s) it might become necessary to invert a servo. For changing direction of servo rotation just press the neutal button and power-up receiver. The servo connected as servo 2 will then rotate inversely. Repeat this procedure to change rotation back to default setting.

- NEW! Servo-Throw-Adjustment. The DLx2 allows reduction of servo movement (throw) down to 50%. Adjustment is made simply by pressing the Neutral button. The actual reduction is indicated by flashing frequencies in groups of three of the red LED. Reduction is possible from 100% (full movement) to 50% servo movement. This is done fully electronically and adjustment can be changed easily any time.

Of course, the DLx2 can also be used for model subs with standard horizontal dive plane symmetry. The X-mixer then just remains redundant.

Sensitivity of pitch control can be adjusted by a rotary switch on the DLx2.

High definition sensor, new software structure and optimized PCB layout make the DLx2 the most highly developed controller of its kind. All this is packed in a sturdy casing allowing easy and safe installation.
