Red AX-501 Police LED Light for RC Cars

Description

What it is

The Red / Red AX-501 RC Auto Parts Led Police Flash Light Lamp is an LED light designed to be mounted on 1/10 scale RC models. This LED mimics the flashing of police lights, adding a touch of realism and visibility to RC models.

Features

• Police light-like LED light
• Ideally suited for 1/10 scale RC models
• Adds realism and visibility to RC models

What it is for

Ideal for modelers who want to increase the interactivity and realism of their RC models. It can be used to create an alarm system or to add a police light visual effect. Check the datasheet for further details on compatibility and technical specifications.

Tutorial: How to use Police Flash Light Lamp for 1/10 RC Model Car

This led simulates the flashing of police lights on RC models. Ideal for modelers who want to add a touch of realism to their models.

What you need

• Police Flash Light Lamp
• Arduino Uno
• RC Battery
• USB Cable
• Connectors
• Resistors

Steps

1. Connect the led to the RC circuit using the connectors and resistors
2. Configure the Arduino to turn the led on and off intermittently
3. Check that the led flashes like police lights
4. If necessary, adjust the code to change the flashing interval
5. Install the circuit on the RC model
6. Test the effect on the RC model in motion

Example code

void setup() {
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
  delay(100);
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
  delay(100);
}

Mini project

Create an alarm system on an RC model using the police led as a warning signal.

Common mistakes

• Connect the led with the wrong polarity
• Do not check the datasheet for the maximum current of the led
• Do not test the flashing before installing the led on the RC model
• Do not modify the code to fit the RC model

Recommended accessories

• Variable resistors
• Arduino Nano
• RC Battery 7.4V
• Motion sensors

Frequently asked questions
