Malenki-Nano-INTEGRATED 6-Channel Triple-Electronic Speed Controller / Receiver combo

The globally successful Malenki-Nano has now been upgraded to the Malenki-Nano-Integrated (MNI). The MNI retains all of the original features and adds several fantastic improvements:

1. Integration of the micro-crystal radio module into the single 4-layer PCB. Previously the "large crystal" radio module was soldered to the 2-layer PCB. This new design reduces the overall height by HALF and effectively eliminates the possibility of physical failure (other than direct hits of course). It also reduces the weight by 0.2g.

2. Addition of "Power Distribution" solder-rings. Soldering power leads for servos or brushless ESCs is not only MUCH easier, but allows those wires to be placed on the same side of the MNI, simplifying wring and further reducing the overall package height.

3. Increased solder-ring size. Tinning high-strand-count 20 gauge wire small enough to fit the old rings was a bit of a challenge. The new solder-rings make assembly with "good" wire much easier.

4. Duplication of the PWM pads to both sides of the board. Another significant packaging / ease of use improvement.

Developed by the amazing Mark R. to give all of us everything we could ask for in a TINY, affordable, easy-to-use Receiver-ESC combo device. Turnabot is thrilled to partner with Mark and produce the Malenki-Nanos for use in the Americas.

Utilizing AFHDS2A radio protocol it works with many FlySky and Turnigy transmitters. (Please be aware that AFHDS is NOT the same as AFHDS2A)

It has THREE brushed ESCs (so it's technically a Triple-ESC / TESC) and two PWM output pads. Each of those pads can independently drive a servo or a brushless ESC.

The Malenki-Nano is easily configurable by powering it on for 5 seconds before powering on the radio, then sending Hi-Low pulses on Ch 5. Configuration options include:

     Reversing either Left or Right side (different than reversing Ch 1 or Ch2)

     Disabling mixing

     Disabling braking

     Servo-stretching*

*Many servos are happy to nearly double their range of motion. Please use caution when enabling the stretcher, many servos literally go twice as far in both directions, don't let it break your linkages or mounts. Also, some servos are not happy getting signals across the new full range, you many need to reduce your endpoints to keep the servos happy.
