Default Controlling LEDs with transmitter?

Hi!

I'm wondering if it is possible to controll LEDs with my transmitter? Like turning on and off. Not dimming or anything like that of course. But plain and simple on and off?

I have a futaba 4PK. Is it possible to get channel 3/4 to turn off somehow?

Also try robotmarketplace.com they sell switches that would turn on the lights using power through the rx or picoswitches that run a small relay. i once took apart a servo with a bad motor and wired my leds to the motor output. I used the pot to adjust the position when my brake lights came on. i just stripped it down to the board. i suppose you could do the same for your application. i had it " wyed" into my throtle .

Here’s info on the PicoSwitch if you just want a single switch. The DELight products are another option if you are after more flexibility.
