RC Servo Multiplexer 4 Channel (Assembled)

This compact device serves as a four-channel multiplexer of hobby radio control pulses, allowing easy switching between two independent signal sources. A fifth channel selects whether the output is from the master or the slave source: a pulse width below the threshold selects the master channels, while a longer pulse width selects the slave channels. This version comes with header pins soldered in.

Overview

The RC servo multiplexer can be used with standard hobby radio control systems and servo controllers to allow easy switching of servo control between two independent sources using a fifth channel as the output selector. This makes it ideal for applications in which you have two possible control sources and want to be able to switch between them on the fly. For example, you could connect two RC receivers to the same set of servos (or similar devices, such as RC-based motor controllers) and allow the master transmitter to decide whether the master or slave transmitter is in control, thereby setting up your own buddy-system training setup. Another possible application would involve multiplexing between an RC receiver and a servo controller, which would allow you to switch between autonomous and manual control of a set of servos.
