Activating the Accessory Outputs
Notes:
If you attempt to calibrate the joysticks while the radio is off or not connected to the con-
troller, the calibration data will not change and the previously stored information will con-
tinue to be used.

If calibration is performed with only one R/C channel connected to the controller, then only
the joystick that is active will be calibrated. The other channel will keep its original settings.

A minimum amount of travel is required between the min, max and center joystick posi-
tions. If, while calibrating, the joystick has not been moved far enough from either side of
the center position, the controller will automatically include a minimum of travel to ensure
proper and safe operation. In most cases, this creates no undesired effect to the driving
characteristics of the robot.

R/C calibration only applies to the channel 1 and channel 2 inputs. The accessory activation

Activating the Accessory Outputs
The AX2500/2850 has two general purpose outputs that may be turned on and off using a
third R/C channel on the radio.
third R/C channel on the radio.
Output C is a buffered output capable of driving a 2A device at up to 24V. Output D is a
non-buffered output that requires an external relay to drive high current loads. Details on
how to wire these outputs to user accessories can be found at “Connecting Sensors and
Actuators to Input/Outputs” on page 49.

Both outputs are controlled from a single joystick on Channel 3.
Output C is activated by pushing the joystick to the maximum position. The output turns
back off when the joystick is returned to the center position

Output D is a toggle output. When the joystick is moved from the center to the minimum
position, the output changes state (to On if it was Off, or to Off if it was On). Beware that
because this is a toggling output, it may be accidentally activated by noise in the radio
reception. Use this output to drive safe accessories. Use only with a good quality radio,
such as a PCM radio.
