See my 10C videos for guidance but you need to go into VR assign and assign a VR for the dimmer to a unused channel. It's a 450 so channel 7 should work fine. Pick a VR and assign it to channel 7.

I was going to use my dimmer to turn on and off my landing light, but I managed to fry it while testing it because of the way I was wiring up the LEDs (the LEDs were working exactly the way I wanted them to). Luckily, I remembered that I had bought a Dimension Engineering PicoSwitch (although I can't remember why), which worked perfectly as an on-off switch.

Bob,

Now that it appears XeroGear is no longer in business, any ideas on how to make / purchase a dimmer for this system?

Buy a cheap brushed ESC.
