Can any of you guy recommend a bright front light for this drone. I have run across a few but they aren't for this model.

Kev the Frog said:Well, I have posted a similar question a while back when I was looking at a retractable landing gear and a landing light option/project.
A simple solution would be to fit a micro limit switch to the underside of the bird, the switch would be normally open, the circuit closed when the camera is moved to it's fully down position. Run the power to the light via the switch and hey presto.
A very helpful member (City Zen) replied to me with the following idea:-
I like the programmed Pic idea, but not followed it up as yet. But take a look at the link he gave me.
Here's a thought: If you plug a servo into F2, will it also be controlled by the pitch control? If so, have a lever on the servo be able to toggle a push-on, push-off switch, such that when you pitch all the way up (or down; either way) it toggles the switch. This works as long as you don't normally pitch the camera all the way up (or down) too often.
That is the mechanical way of solving this. An EE would just program a PIC to look at the receiver output like these guys did:

(The landing gear extends or retracts by various toggling of the S2 switch.)
