Page 4: Intended Use
2. Intended Use The “QC06” lightboard is solely designed for private use in the model construction area and the operating times associated with it. The product must not become damp or wet. The electronics are designed for use at an operating temperature from 0 °C to +40 °C. -
Page 5: Product Description
5. Product Description The electronics are not protected from moisture and other environmental influences and must only be used inside the model. The in- and outputs have common plug contacts or soldering contacts. The “QC06” lightboard is an electronics PCB ready for operation that enables different functions in a model. -
Page 6: Safety Information
6. Safety Information In case of damage caused by non-compliance with these operating instructions, the warranty/guarantee will expire. We do not assume any liability for consequential damage! We do not assume any liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by improper use or the failure to observe the safety instructions! In such cases the warranty/guarantee will expire. -
Page 7: B) Before Operation
b) Before Operation • Make sure that no other models are operated on the same channel (transmitter frequency) within the range of the remote control. Otherwise, you will lose control of the remote-controlled models! Always use different channels if you wish to operate two or several models in direct proximity of each other simultaneously. -

7. Notes on Batteries and Rechargeable Batteries Despite the fact that handling batteries and rechargeable batteries in daily life nowadays is a matter of fact, there are still numerous dangers and problems involved. For LiPo/Lion rechargeable batteries in particular, various regulations must be observed under any circumstances due to their high energy content (in comparison to conventional NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries), because otherwise there is danger of explosion and fire. - Page 9 • Always remove the drive battery that is to be charged from the model and place it on a fire- proof support. Keep distance to flammable objects and never cover the rechargeable battery or the charger. • Never charge rechargeable batteries without supervision and only use chargers suitable for the battery.

8. Connection Contacts and Displays The lightboard has the following connection contacts or jumper plugs: PAD1: Plus solder connection for supply voltage (+) PAD2: Minus solder connection for supply voltage (-) PAD6: Plus solder connection for power LED output L2 PAD7: Minus solder connection for power LED output L2... -
Page 11: Connection Options
9. Connection Options Caution, important! To use the full scope of functions of the lightboard, the QuadroCopter must have firmware 2.1 or newer. Older QuadroCopter models can be updated to the current software using the optional configuration sets. The respective current firmware for the lightboard and QuadroCopter is available online for download at conrad.com. -
Page 12: B) Connecting The Power Leds
b) Connecting the Power LEDs The lightboard has two outputs for connection of power LEDs (L1 and L2). Up to three power LEDs each can be connected in series to these outputs. Independently of the number of LEDs (1 - 3), the output current is limited to 350 mA and the outputs are permanently short-circuit proof. -
Page 13: C) Connecting The Led Strips/Leds
c) Connecting the LED Strips/LEDs The light offers the possibility of directly soldering on up to eight LED strips with an operating voltage of 12 V and a maximum power intake of 1 A/per strip. Even if the MOSFET switching outputs (FDS6890A) can resist up to 7.5 A, it is recommended not to load the separate outputs with more than 1 A due to the board layout and cooling. - Page 14 Connection pattern: L5 L6 12 V Figure 4 Figure 4 shows the scheme for the connection of a LED with dropping resistor at the output L1 and the connection of a 12 V light strip at the output L6. Important! When connecting LEDs and LED light strips, observe correct polarity of the connection lines.

Page 15: D) Servo Connection
d) Servo Connection When the lightboard is installed in the QuadroCopter and the remote control was connected programmed correctly, up to four servos (channel 5 - 8) can be connected to the lightboard and operated by remote control. However, this is only possible if transmitter and receiver provide this function. -
Page 16: E) Interface Connection
e) Interface Connection For a connection of the lightboard (1) to the control board of the Quadro- Copter (2), the lightboard comes with a 26-wire foil cable (3) that must be connected to the connection strip for the broad interface cable (X10). Later, when installing the lightboard in the QuadroCopter, observe that the two connection strips for the broad... - Page 17 When inserting the lightboard into the QuadroCopter, the flat cable can be placed downwards in a loop. When placing the lightboard, observe a sufficient distance between lightboard and motor drive PCB (4) and that the components cannot touch each other. For a better overview, the motor and battery connection cables were left off of the motor driver PCBs in figure 6.

Page 18: Operation Of The Lightboard
10. Operation of the Lightboard a) General Information First, connect the LEDs, LED strips, power LEDs and servos desired by you to the lightboard. The 26-wire foil flat cable is long enough to operate the lightboard outside of the QuadroCopter frame for testing and configuration. - Page 19 Mode Buzzer Power LED L1 Power LED L2 High Status Neutral Status Status High Status Status Neutral Status Status Status Status High Running light L1 to L8 Status Neutral Status Running light L8 to L1 Status High Inverted running light L1 to L8 Status Neutral Status...
- Page 20 * The switching outputs SA1 and SA2 are generated by the controlboard and can be influenced via the remote control. Thus, there is the option of switching certain LEDs on or off specifically via the transmitter. However, the transmitter and receiver also have to support channels 5 and 6.
- Page 21 Attention! The status messages correspond to firmware 2.1 and may deviate in a subsequent version. Therefore, always observe the text file in the firmware used by you. Verify the signals SA1, SA2 and status The three signals can be measured and tapped at plug X13 if required. A high level corresponds to 5 V, while the respective LEDs, power LEDs or LED strips targeted light up.

Page 22: B) Selecting The Light Mode
b) Selecting the Light Mode The 7 light modes can be set with the jumper (X2). Depending on the desired mode, the different contacts must be connected with a jumper. Set the following jumpers for the following modes: Mode 1: No jumper BUZ1 Mode 2: Jumper 1 - 2 Mode 3: Jumper 3 - 4... -
Page 23: C) Selecting The Rc Input
c) Selecting the RC Input The desired RC input for switching the light effect can be set using the jumper SW1. Always connect the upper and lower contacts with the jumper. Assignment is as follows: Jumper in position 1 = channel 8 Jumper in position 2 = channel 7 Jumper in position 3 = channel 6 Jumper in position 4 = channel 5... -
Page 24: D) Buzzer Configuration
d) Buzzer Configuration The buzzer can be switched on or off with the jumper (X1). If no jumper is set or contacts 1 and 2 are connected with a jumper, the buzzer is off. When contacts 2 and 3 are connected with a jumper, the buzzer is on and outputs signals according to the modes table. -
Page 25: Pc Connection
11. PC Connection The lightboard has a serial interface like the control board of the QuadroCopter. The electronics can communicate with a computer via those interfaces. Using the jumper X11, the serial interface of the lightboard can either communicate with the control board of the QuadroCopter (2nd internal interface) via the 26-core interface cable or be switched to the interface connection X12. -
Page 26: Maintenance And Care
12. Maintenance and Care The electronics do not require any maintenance or care but should be protected from outside influences such as moisture or wetness. 13. Disposal a) General Information At the end of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations. -
