18MZ Sequence Programming
Guys,
It has been over 12 months since I last did anything 'fancy' on my TX and I'm having a blank with something.
Can someone remind me the steps I need to follow to sequence a servo operated nose door with the main gear?
I need it do operate thus when the gear down position is selected:
door open > gear down > door stays open
and thus when the gear up position is selected:
gear up > door closed
Hope someone can help before I give in to weakness and pointlessly drop in the jetronic sequencer I am staring at
Cheers,
Mark

Mark,
Offset Mixing is what you need. I obviously haven't got my 18mz in front of me so I will try to explain from memory.
Goto program mixes, by default its a normal type mix so you need to click the yellow button to change it to offset mixing.
Go into the mix and then you an assign the mix on/off to be the retract switch.
In the offset mixing you can change the off/on position for any channel, the delay moving to each point and the speed.
I have complex sequencing on F104, all done by this method and can send you the program if necessary.

Hi Mark,
unfortunately I did not find a manual for the TX. So I have to explain it. German would be easy but I try it in English:
- Fact it is absolutely simple
- FIRST - remove in the function menu the switches from both channels (gear and door)
- go to the program mixer menu
- select an off-set mixer
- define a switch for mixer-operation
- select for function 1 = gear
- select for function 2 = door
- find the right %value for the movements. If you operate with valve it is for both functions +/- 100%. If you use servos you have to adjust it
- in the area where you can select the time you have to test in which line you have to write a delay time. Fact is: always 1 way stays to 0
Normally it should work now......
Best regards
Philip
