Re: 9XR Pro probs
Ok, another problem cropped up yesterday whilst sailing the boat in my avatar.
The boat has 2 propulsion motors, the are mixed with the V-tail mix, these channels are then setup on the L H gimbal for ease of control. It has worked well like this for a long time, yesterday the straight up/down stick movement used for twin forward/twin revers stopped working although moving stick diagonally in the 4 directions controls the relevant motors as did horizontal stick movement.
Programming prob? gimbal prob? corruption of some other programming?
I ask before I open up the tx and start fiddling!
Need to add, same situation with other single motored boats , ie up/down movements don't work!

Re: 9XR Pro probs
Let's find out if it is a gimbal problem.
Please go to Radio Setup / DiagAna menu..
The first four lines are the gimbals. Do they work there?

Re: 9XR Pro probs
Yeap on that gimbal the readings change with stick movement!
Re: 9XR Pro probs
Then you might have changed something on the model's programming
Try downloading your model to your computer via Eepskye, and post it here please.

Re: 9XR Pro probs
OK, HOPE IT WORKS
Re: 9XR Pro probs
Hmm, don't know if I understand your programming, but it looks like you have the motors forward /Backwards on the left horizontal stick (Rud), and left/right on the right vertical stick That doesn't look right?

Re: 9XR Pro probs
Ok, I installed a v tail mix, configured the tx so that the mix was on the left hand stick. Hooked up the motors and speed controllers to the relevant channels on the rx, the props are, when viewed from back of the boat, left turning on right hand side and right turning on left hand side, cannot remember offhand but had to change some of the weights from -ve to +ve and vice versa to achieve the correct prop rotations to give stick upwards for forwards and down to reverse and horizontal stick to the left the right hand prop going forward left hand in reverse etc.
I hope this clarifies the situation.
This system was outlined in a model boating magazine several years ago.
I have also installed this system in in/for other club members and their boats.
I suppose later today I could create another model using this system to see if it creates the same problem/situation.

Re: 9XR Pro probs
Ok, having just spent an hour fiddling with the tx etc I setup another model with the same mix and characteristics as the problematic one, and with some changes to the +ve and -ve aspects of the two mix channels its all working fine again. I then returned to the original problematic model, re installed the mix, changed the characteristics and there you go it works as it should again. Don't know how the mix was corrupted but there you go, try the simple solution first! and thats yet another learning curve!!
Thanks for your efforts Jaoa, its time for me to adopt the KISS system, KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!! : - ()

Re: 9XR Pro probs
Good that is all working. Could it be that'you copied the models from another radio?

Re: 9XR Pro probs
No , the model was created on the radio.
I suppose it could be that at the sailing competition last Sunday someone had been 'fiddling' with the radio as all the models taking part were on display for the public to look at, and the radios were at the side of the respective models, there being a period when the display was unattended (apero time! ; - ) ) -- who knows?
Next time a little more caution perhaps!!

Re: 9XR Pro probs
Weird, the only thing I could think that it could mess up the programming like that is if someone changed the stick mode in the Radio Setup, but even that wouldn't change a control that was on a vertical stick to an horizontal stick.. this is what doesn't make sense to me

Re: 9XR Pro probs
Me neither, will know in the future to try a new model first though!!
again, thanks
again, thanks
