Lighting controller for a large-scale RC truck. An RP2040 board sits between the FlySky receiver and a MFC-03 multi-function unit, reads the receiver's iBUS stream directly, and drives the vehicle's LED lighting from it — while still letting the MFC-03 keep control of the things

Lighting controller for a large-scale RC truck. An RP2040 board sits between the FlySky receiver and a MFC-03 multi-function unit, reads the receiver's iBUS stream directly, and drives the vehicle's LED lighting from it — while still letting the MFC-03 keep control of the things it does best (sound, engine start-up sequence, turn-signal timing, brake detection).

RC lights control MFC-03: common questions

What microcontroller does the RC lights control MFC-03 use?

The RC lights control MFC-03 is built around the Pico C, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the RC lights control MFC-03 PCB?

The RC lights control MFC-03 measures 86.5 × 65.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the RC lights control MFC-03?

106 components, from 18 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the RC lights control MFC-03 design files?

From the luckymuniza/RC_lights_control_MFC-03 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the RC lights control MFC-03 design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with luckymuniza. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the RC lights control MFC-03 without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
