External switch
The Ibex BEC controller allows you to use an external switch if needed. By default, the switch is not present, so the speed controller/BEC will turn on immediately after you connect the flight battery.
You can set the type of the switch element in the "General - Switch type":
Mechanical (default) - the switch short-circuits the yellow (signal) and brown (ground) wires of the switch/button cable. Inverted logic is used, so the ESC stays on when the switch is left open or unplugged.
Button/Hall - first long press turns ESC on; second long press turns it off. LED indicates on/off status and flashes when solenoid (or button) press is detected. Hall sensor can be purchased as an ESC accessory.
Electronic - allows installation of an external electronic switch (Touch Switch, RC Switch, etc.). In this case, the switching device is always powered and the logic level of the signal line indicates the on/off state to the controller.
Note: Please pay attention to the parameters of an external switch before connecting it. The signal line uses 3.3 volt logic with a weak pull-up. The power supply to the ESC is rated at 10 V with a maximum current of 30 mA.
