Police LED Light Connection (Newb Question)

by staypuft Fri 2 Jun 2017 - 12:06

Hi Gurus,
Need some light on this (pun intended), I recently acquire a Police LED light and wish to connect it to my Wild Truck K949. However, me being clueless about electronics or wiring, it seems that the LED light has 3 pin plug connector on it (what do you call it) and the Wild Truck has 2pin connector...

How do I go about in connecting it?
Do I need to cut the wire to convert it or?
Sorry for a very very very dumb question tho....

Hope picture could help.

Disclaimer: I am not familiar with this light kit, nor the truck (which seems to have proprietary, non-standard RC electronics).

From the description I found on sites selling this light bar, it seems that it uses the 5V usually supplied to servos by the receiver. This means

- Brown wire: Ground (-),
- Red wire: +5V
- Yellow wire: stays unconnected, it is not used

I do not know anything about the connectors on the receiver/ESC combo of the truck, but if you have a multimeter you should be able to find a suitable connection point.

If you are nearby Woodlands area you are welcome to drop by with the truck and we sort it out. Drop me a PM with your contact if interested.

cheers, Werner
