Connecting to a Separately Powered Radio
This wiring option must be used when the controller is used with a RC receiver that is
powered by its own separate battery. The red wire in the loop must be cut so that the 5V
out from the controller does not flow to the radio, and so that the battery that is connected
to the controller does not inject power into the controller. The figure below show the cable
with the loop cut. Figure 69 shows the equivalent electrical diagram.
Operating the Controller in R/C mode
In this operating mode, the AX1500 will accept commands from a Radio Control receiver
used for R/C models remote controls. The speed or position information is communicated
to the AX1500 by the width of a pulse from the R/C receiver: a pulse width of 1.0 millisec-
