Left side gimbal has on response

Post by Stuka »

After powering up for the first time ever and bound to a RX with 4 servos in the main outputs (ail thr rud ele) the rhs gimbal responded as normal but the lhs had no input to the servos at all.
This does not have any warranty so I cannot send it back.

After turning the radio ON press UP or DOWN to go to a screen that has 2 squares with little circles inside. Do the circles move when you move the sticks? Do they center when you center the sticks?
If so proceed to a screen that show some bars moving horizontally when you move the sticks.
Do the first 4 bars move when you move both sticks on all directions?

Hi Joao
I get the 2 squares and the sticks show movement in both boxes
When I move to the screen with the bars, There is 3 bars on the Lhs of scrn and 1 at the top of the Rhs side.
I am using Mode 1 so the Thro and Ail move the Lhs 2 bars at top but the Lhs stick has no effect on the other 2 bars
The Ail, Thro, Rud and Ele trim switches all work OK

Thanks Geoff

What firmware do you have installed?
go to the mixer menu, and tell us what you have there for Ch1 to Ch4. Or if you can take a picture and post it here..

The F/W is FrSky9X.
The original F/W had the same problem hence the re-flash
I hope all is well in Germany

As João asked, next:

"go to the mixer menu, and tell us what you have there for Ch1 to Ch4."

Since the telltales move in the boxes, your sticks are working correctly, so this is very likely just a setting or two that is not correct.
The stock firmware is an earlier version of ersky9x.

Is this added mix (R--100 half thr) maybe what is causing the problem ?

Maybe try removing it and see what happens.

Please go to the Model Select Menu, select an empty slot, and then create a new model.. see if all moves correctly now. The new model will create a model with default mixes..
