Hello,

I want to use the Spirit GTR. Is it possible tu use CH0-pin of the GTR for a power-backup (IISI Safety Caps 3x50F (Buffer))?

Thank you for your support

Greetings Manni

Hello,

yes, this port is perfect for this purpose.

Yes. The CH0 port is excellent for a capacitor buffer. In fact, all the ports in the rail will work for this purpose except for the ports on either end (SYS and EXT/RPME2).

... and you can switch it off via TX when on CH0 - as i am doing it with those caps on all of my helis.

aaaand it would be great to have logic out for that channel. Many buffer packs don't have a signal input. I just used a simple transistor to emulate the button press. PWM out on CH0 cannot be used then....
So pleaaase, "a simple logic out" option.

THX!
