Ikon2 Gov sensor
Hi Guys
I just bought the new Ikon2. I am using the Algin sensor. I have changed the plug on my Align sensor to a standard female plug to fit the new gov port in the Ikon2. However the sensor does not work. > Do you have to swap the red and black wire's? > Or what sensor should I use. Keen to get this resolved and get out and fly my new black nitro |

Back when I had the 700N with one of my mini Brain2's using the Align pickup sensor I only had to swap the micro JST style connector to a standard Futaba servo type connector and plug it in.
I wonder why you ended up having to reverse polarity on yours.... Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

Align sensor has wire color reversed from normal. Black is positive, red is negative and white is signal. If you solder a servo end to your align sensor (like I did) it will be red to black, black to red, and white to white.

My 570 and 700 are running the same sensor. 570 polarity is normal, 700 it's flipped. I think it really depends on how it gets soldered on the other end.

It doesn't damage the sensor or the Ikon if plug it in with the wires wrong.
Plug it in, if it doesn't work, swap wires and try again. |

Yes, this is correct for old align sensor only (3 pin plug) The beastx one is color coded correctly (6 pin connector) and would be wired using standard color scheme.

I'm about to do this as well. My sensor has the beastx end on it. So I cut off the end and put a standard servo plug on it with red going to the negative on the Ikon?
