OK here I go I want to control a relay ON/Off using a picaxe that responds to the outputs of a 2.4GHz radio control RX. Basically an R/C switch. I want to use this to replace a servo that moves a mechanical switch that is used to change the direction of a DC motor in a large scale model train...

Why is it that every time I write a new thread and then try to post it I am told that I am not logged on and the post just disappears? Is there a time limit to how long you can be logged in? Edit; Except this time it worked but it took only a short time to write this.
