Default afpd no calibration of 6exa or 4exa

Hello,<o></o>

I’ve recently bought an AFPD with version 1.11.7.9 and installed as per manual. When I get to calibration, the window tells me that AFPD has located the usb interface cable but was unable to either find a Tx connected to usb interface or a joystick. I’ve tried two txs (futaba 6EXA and 4EXA) with appropriate square ‘micro’ adapter, but no connection as yet. Any help please? <o></o>

Thanks<o></o>

Hello jeppy, did you set your radio to PPM mode?

Hi Jeppy, you can find the instructions for PPM mode in the instruction manuals of your radio. Get a friend from your rc club to help if you're not sure. It's pretty easy

Hi Jeppy, thanks for the photos. The adapter cable that you have is not the correct type and is in fact not from Ikarus. It is most probably causing a connection problem between the radio and usb interface cable. It is recommended that you use the 31036 or AFP-01 adapter cable.
