yeh jhsa, i know the limitations of my multirotor :P the flight controller uses 50% throttle as an altitude control instead of throttle control. i have been flying my multis for a good few years, but for filming sport it is nice to track at a constant altitude, but its so easy to nudge the throttle ...

i would like to add a throttle hold switch to my er9x at 50% throttle for use on a multirotor where 50% throttle is hover. this is easy enough, but what i would like to do, is set a value, so if the throttle stick goes about say 65%, then the throttle hold is activated and then goes up to wherever t...

awesom. so simple thanks

is there a way to change the low throttle value to below 975pwm? for the arducopter failsafe, the throttle has to go below 975, but i cant get it below 989. i thought that i could change it to 125% in the mixer window, but that only changes the top value. and i cant go below -100 in the limits. so i...

sorry for another question... but i changed my mind on what to do. im gonna wire a servo connecter plus so i can connect the tracker to the outside of the tx, and disconnect when not in use. so for ppm in, i can just connect to the second pin across as shown in the pic below for the +ve, what voltag...

is there any problems with constantly driving this output?
im going to have the headtracker inside, and then setup a mix so my camera tilt can be controlled from a pot, or with the flick of a swiitch, controlled by the tracker

anyone?

im about to wire in my headtracker.. only just got the parts.
where is the best place to take a 12v and ground wire from?

and which is the ppm in pin?

hmm,,, thought i had done a good job of soldering it back on shorter,,, but appears not.
i now get really twitchy servos.. just put it into a zagi. works fine with 1 servo, but connect to, and they go into mega twitch mode.

On one of my radios im jus using the stock module and rx. Just noticed yesterday that the outer sheath of the rx antenna has broken. Now i dont know how these antennas work, and if the inner wire is taking the signal or both wires etc. It is possible to repair, or cut down and shorten & then re ...

Is there a way of hardwiring a ppm input, inside the tx, while still keeping the trainer port function active? i would like to put a head tracker inside the radio which will output a ppm stream, but still have the option of using trainer port? is this possible, if not, where is the best place to sol...

anyone know where i can get one of these sensors in the UK? bit of a long shot but worth a try... china main is sooo slow. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?type=4&campId=5336737480&toolId=10001&customId=fcchcqhhfnsw&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FNine-Axis-...

has anybody tried this, either open source or hobby king option?

how much drift do you get? looking for controlling camera gimbal pitch

thanks

Has anyone done a mod to be able to charge their lipo battery without having to remove it from the tx?
i guess you could rewire the balance port somewhere, but what about the main power wire?

Is it possible to make a rear slider like they have on the Futuba 9FG.
would be awesom for controlling gimbal pitch on the fly instead of the pots

will any switch like this work?

ha,,, well the switch has stopped working again.. guess its not the soldering

i was flying anyway so no problems there i only had forced failsafe on that channel, so just got rid of it for a while.
just strange how it went from working, to not working.

heres a clip from yday

ha, so opened it up and checked the switch with an ohm meter. switch was working fine,
so resoldered the connections, and now it works again
guess it was just a dry solder joint.

cheers. ill check with an ohm meter and repport back. this is a flysky tx

Hi. Wasn't really sure where to put this

One of my d/r switches has randomly stopped working. It was working fine one day, then stopped haha. I've opened up and checked the solder connections and everything looks fine. Is there anything else worth checking?

Dont understand what could have broken.

i think he basically wants a a switch, which is on the screen... lets say, 2 flight modes on the screen. and you can flick between with the up/down/left/right/ enter button, instead of using a physical switch

ahhh, i figured out the problem, in one of my setup screens i had ele and thr the wrong way round, so the elevator was triggering things

ahhh, i figured out the problem, in one of my setup screens i had ele and thr the wrong way round, so the elevator was triggering things

i ahve also tried making a second switch for sw2 which has v<ofs so i can have it switching between the 2 switches, but cant get it to work.

using er9x. there is only THR in upper case

still struggling a little bit with this.. when i have the custom swithc setup, how do i use this as a dualrate switch.

do i not just setup drSW1 in expo/dr as SW1?
or should i set it in drs2 and drsw1 as something else?

How do i go about setting a custom switch so that when the throttle goes above zero the switch is on? I would like to make a dualrate switch but i have run out of available switches, so i would like the switch to be on when the throttle is above 5-10% i need this because my flight controller wont ar...

ahh, cant upload my eepe file because my usbasp is down south, and im up north for xmas n newyar... drat haha

could you explain alit more on where you put this mix in? in you mixes or custom switches menu?

i have tried recalibrating but it still does the same thing.
