Wiring Advice

What I have: a feniex T6 LED surface mount strobe light for emergency lighting. Flash patterns are selectable using an auxiliary ground wire.

What I want: a pin out that the polarity can be changed by radio. I want to connect this auxiliary ground to this pin so I can cycle the flash patterns on command.

Is this possible? I have read the Naza has an expansion slot. Can I use this or is there another/better place for what I'm looking for. The light is all ready attached to the bird and I have the flash pattern static.

There is no available expansion with the OEM system per se.

There is a retract manufacturer who has developed an interface module to monitor the S2 (X2) channel and then control the retracts much like resetting the CL & HL.

Don't know if they will sell it alone. It's part of this kit:

Otherwise you need to design your own to drive something like this:

Ordered. This appears it will let me switch the light on and off. At the very least it will do what I want by passing the ground into the third wire when unpowered by connecting the ground side to the relay and leaving the power side unused.

I do not use the S2 switch for HL or CL so I may use the relay to power the light all together. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you.

N017RW - this is the mod as it currently stands.

This is not a plug-and-play device for the Phantom OEM control system. Communication between the Rx and Naza is via an S-bus standard. There is no output or PWM signal available on the Naza to connect/control the PicoSwitch.

This is why the retract vendor has supplied the interface module I mentioned earlier.
They aparrently developed a small processor based device to monitor the S-bus for X2 activity and generate the PWM or whatever is necessary for the servos or motors in their gear.
