Status: offline 		Please. Dear God, please. If you have experience programming one of these can you help a brother out? The instructions might as well have been written in 3rd century Germanian. I'm desperately trying to understand even the most rudimentary programming like how in the world do you program the sequencing of the valves in Mode 4? ANY help or insight would be appreciated. I'd pay good money for a set of instructions written in actual English.

Status: offline 		Todd, it's the EV5U-PRO. I tried it in mode 3 - I have the extra valve - but instead of leaving one set of doors open, all of the doors close. I absolutely cannot for the life of me figure out how to tell the valves what to do. How do I teach one of the doors to stay open? Todd, the sequence that you describe as Mode 3 on the Dreamworks website is EXACTLY what I need. But the valve doesn't do it on it's own and I can't understand the programming instructions.

Here's what happens: Doors open, gear down, doors close. It's like it's perpetually stuck in Mode 2. I've tried resetting it. I've tried switching the valves.

Frustrating to say the least. Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance -

C

Status: offline 		Mode 3 is what you need. Been a while since I did a mode 3 but if I remember correctly; Gear and doors you wish open gear down connected to the EV5U, doors you want closed connected to the additional valve plugged into "door 2" port on right side of valve. Then simply program timing for G0, D1, D2.
When you start the programming, it is very important to make sure you have the valve in the correct sequence to start with. Brakes only function gear down so test them before beginning the program. If the brake valve does not function your switch (or channel) is in the wrong direction; reverse the switch (or channel in radio if switch is in preferred direction) before you begin the programming! Many make the mistake of starting the programming sequence with the valve in the wrong position.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the help Todd -I guess I didn't know about having the switch in the right direction on my radio before starting the programming. That being said and at the risk of being dense, isn't the M3 programming pretty much plug & play? What do I need to program? Can I just leave the factory defaults on the timing?

Can't thank you enough!

Maybe.... Maybe not.... Depends on many factors. Best thing to do is to disconnect the door cylinder from the door an cycle. If the delays pre-programmed are working as desired than no additional programming needed for the sequence. Some adjustment in timing is likely however.

Status: offline 		Hey Todd or anyone that can help. I have the non digital ev5u air power valve.

1. Valve sometimes has a mind of its own. Turn on plane and it sometimes cycles the gear. I have to lift plane up and turn on switches to keep from damaging doors/ gear. Gremlins?

2. I went to try and reprogram the card but for some reason it skips the valve 1-5 feature no matter what I do.

3. It also leaks air only when the power is on. Shut the plane off and holds air no problem. I did try crimping air lines off 1 by 1 to see if it was a cylinder issue...still leaking from inside the valve.


Thanks
James

Status: offline 		Hi James, our of interest are you using a PowerBox on DSMX? The V14 software didn't have any center points for switch on. I often had this until updating the software to V16.

Try binding the receiver to the transmitter with the gear switch in the down position.
