Please don't shout! (Upper case is considered shouting on forums).
You asked this question on this thread: viewtopic.php?f=123&t=9276&p=119836#p119836, and have received some answers there.
I suggest you go back to that thread and ask about the answers you already have.
Mike.

Mike sorry for the uppercase letters and Joao it's r212 on turnigy 9xr pro
Re: HOW TO SET THROTTLE CUT WITH VOICE SAYING YOUR AIRCRAFT IS SAFE)
I'm not sure your version of the software have already the sticky throttle cut feature in the safety switches menu.
Do you also have already the voice menu?
For throttle cut I will assume you have throttle on channel 3
Go to the safety switches menu and scroll down to your throttle's channel.
CH3 X !THR -100
The "X" option is a sticky throttle cut, that means, when you activate the switch the throttle must also be at minimum before the motor is allowed to run. This avoids the motor going wild if you bump the switch when the stick is not down.
Of course you select the switch you want, to control this feature, I use !THR.
So what happens is that the throttle cut is engaged (set to -100) when the throttle switch is OFF. !THR means throttle switch OFF. THR means throttle switch ON.
For the voice please answer my question above.

Re: HOW TO SET THROTTLE CUT WITH VOICE SAYING YOUR AIRCRAFT IS SAFE)
A throttle cut switch is indeed a nice feature to prevent injuries... saying your aircraft is SAFE) ...
caused by accidently hitting the throttle stick,
but please always keep in mind that besides all programming aspects
there is nothing you can do on TX side that makes your aircraft
100% safe (at least in terms of throttle ) ...

Please confirm channel 3 is your throttle channel.

channel 3 is my throttle
Re: HOW TO SET THROTTLE CUT WITH VOICE SAYING YOUR AIRCRAFT IS SAFE)
With !THR, the throttle should be safe when the switch is OFF. Away from you, towards the back of the radio. To allow the motor to spin you should turn the switch ON.

Please go to the main screen that shows the stick positions and has THR, RUD and ELE on the left.
When you change the THR switch position, does the THR text change between highlighted and not highlighted?
If it does, now go down one screen to the "bars" screen showing the output positions. With the switch away from you, the bar for channel 3 should be fixed showing fully to the left of the display.
If the THR text doesn't change, then you have a problem with the THR switch.
r212 is now over 2 years old, you might consider updating your firmware.

Re: HOW TO SET THROTTLE CUT WITH VOICE SAYING YOUR AIRCRAFT IS SAFE)
let me check get back to you in a second and its a brand new radio but il try what you just said Mike
Re: HOW TO SET THROTTLE CUT WITH VOICE SAYING YOUR AIRCRAFT IS SAFE)
right when i pull the lever it highlights and when i go to the next screen the left hand side second bar from bottom is full over the the left
Re: HOW TO SET THROTTLE CUT WITH VOICE SAYING YOUR AIRCRAFT IS SAFE)
Right i think its actually working because on the bars screen if i move the throttle lever it does nothing because the lever is pushed away !THR witch must mean its in throttle cut and when i pull the lever towards me THR and then move the throttle stick the bar on the left then moves so i presume it is actually working ?

Re: HOW TO SET THROTTLE CUT WITH VOICE SAYING YOUR AIRCRAFT IS SAFE)
If you want the switch to function the other way round, change !THR to THR in the safety switch setting. That is the way I use it as I think it is more likely the switch will be accidently knocked towards the fromt rather than away, so knocked to the 'safe' position, but you choose which way you find 'best'.
With X in the safety switch, you have a 'sticky' safety.
Move the throttle to the mid position, then change the THR switch to enable the throttle. The bar should stay to the left. You then need to move the throttle stick to minimum before the bar will move. This stops you changing the switch and having an electric powered model bursting into life because the throttle is not at minimum.

Re: HOW TO SET THROTTLE CUT WITH VOICE SAYING YOUR AIRCRAFT IS SAFE)
what would happen if the safety switch was knocked when the model is flying would the motors shut off and model drop to earth ? , Dan

If the safety switch is activated then the throttle output will go to -100.

If a Pot is used to arm the throttle then it can't be knocked on or off - much safer than a switchSmiithy89 wrote:what would happen if the safety switch was knocked when the model is flying would the motors shut off and model drop to earth ? , Dan
Re: HOW TO SET THROTTLE CUT WITH VOICE SAYING YOUR AIRCRAFT IS SAFE)
Not if you use pots for something else and you turn it by mistake. Is the same
You could also use a combination of 2 switches for example.

Re: HOW TO SET THROTTLE CUT WITH VOICE SAYING YOUR AIRCRAFT IS SAFE)
Probably a dumb question but I cannot get !THR.
If I use THR, the safety switch works but in reverse to the way described here.
How do I get !THR?

Stephen

When a switch selection is empty, you get a "----"
Now if you scroll down you get the normal switches. If you scroll up then you get the reversed switches.
