Nice work. I've noticed the red wire of your servo is linked between the battery and receiver. How did you link it up and how's it working for you? My own antweight is going slowly but I'm getting used to cutting polycarbonate straight now with the right tools.

Thanks!

Yes, i cut the servo wires to shorten them (to save weight). At the same time i wired the red wire into switch rather than through the nanotwo servo plug.

That way you get the full power from the battery and not the 5v from the nanotwo.

Im talking like i know what im talking about but what i did works so its all good!!!

Hi all,

Im well into my second build and a rebuild of my first and i am now looking at electronics.

With Nanotwos being out of stock and the "fire risk" of the dasmikro, whats my next best option?!

Contact Alex or Rory personally to ask about Nanotwos. "Out of stock" doesn't necessarily mean "not at all available" when they can make to order. Should be OK of they're not drowning in work.

Out of stock really is out of stock. Whenever any get made they go up on the store, issue is demand is so high they don't tend to last long on there. I've done a few things now like enabling a one per customer limit to try and get them spread out though.
