PWM Signal to ON/Off Signal - RC Reciver usage

Maker, DIY

Hey All -

I’m trying to find some sort of switch that can take a PWM signal and change it into a simple on/off switch.

I’m trying to get an aux channel on my RC airplane to be able to control a simple device that just need a momentary bit of voltage from the reciver at the press of a button. Hooking the device up to the PWM signal pin doesn’t give enough of a voltage change to do it, and the power and ground pins just give full voltage all the time.

Anyone know if DigiKey carries something that works like that?

Thanks!

This is a popular application you see a lot of people in RC circles discussing.
Here is an Instructables on how to build this kind of circuit.

Otherwise there are a lot of off the shelf options for this kind of thing:
