Status: offline 		I have great news!!!

I finally discovered how to use FMS with the Zhen Hua Radio!!!

I only installed [url]PPJoy software[/url] (http://www.geocities.com/deonvdw/PPJoy.htm) and configured the Virtual Joystick1 using serial port COM1 and selected under serial protocol "Zhen Hua 5 byte Protocol". Note: Do Not Close PPJoy, just minimize it.

Then start FMS and configure the control as follows:

Under Control menu choose Analog Control.

Then select Joystick Interface fron the list.


Now select Mapping/Calibration and use the following for Mode2 Radios:


Calibrate the controls...

And your'e ready to simulate!!!
Enjoy!

Have you tried this under winXP? I tried and I could not make it to work under winXP. Please help if you had tried. Thanks.

Did you left the PPJoy software open? You must leave it running in the background in order to work...

Let me know...

Status: offline 		I have a Zhen Hua PCM-4ch Tx and have tried all of the above with no joy at all. Seems that PPjoy is detecting the COM port. However when I attempt to callibrate no signal is going through. Might be the cable, however are there any other tricks I am missing ?

Status: offline 		Found the answer to my troubles. I needed to configure the COM Port under port settings Windows XP to :

Bits per second 19200
Data Bits 8
Parity None
Stop Bits 1
Flow Control = Hardware (most important I think)

Under the "advanced" tab I turned OFF "Use FIF buffers (Requires 16550 compatible UART)

And now it works.

Are you using Windows XP? Do you know if PPJoy will work with Win Me?
Thanks,

Status: offline 		The problem is not just the cable, the Shen-Hua radio uses a different pulse standard, that's the main reason of using the described software procedure above.

Status: offline 		Hi Rayan,
PPJoy sees a serial signal (beeps with box checked) but the calibration in FMS does not seem to see anything. Any thoughts. Should I have batteries in? Radio on? crystal in? Red button in?
Thanks again,
Ian

Status: offline 		Can someone PLEASE !!! use a multimeter to find out which wires on the Svideo/ps2? connector are connected thru to the serial connector.

This way I can try making my own cable ?

The serial connector has small numbers on it which you can reference...

How do I attach an image here?
I get a warning box that pops up when I try to configure the joystick.
It says " No IRQ assigned to port LPT1. Please assign an IRQ to this port before adding this joystick type"
What is this? Anyone?
No Joy with PP joy.

Status: offline 		You need to go to ppjoy menu in start programs and select ppjoyCOM to set up a virtual joytick using com port1. Then you run ppjoy and ADD the virtual joystick. You dont use lpt1 !!

If this works can you please do the multimeter thingy ??

PS. To add an image you need to click on Reply button - do not use the "Fast reply" box. Then you get a link at the bottom to upload images...
