Hi ZB,
are these new switches spring loaded both ways from centre...I.e. After moving it against the spring in either UP or DOWN direction it always returns to the centre position?
Is this the type I describe above;
http://www.espritmodel.com/jeti-tran...sition-ds.aspx
Also, looking at the website it's a little difficult to know which sw to order (what's the difference between DC and DS?)

The DS and DC are not the same because the DS being more compact the switches had to be made differently.
(Just in case: DC is the tray type and DS is the usually hand held one)

On this page you can see all the options. It might help you, but I have to agree that it is a little confusing.

Adding to that confusion is compounded by where the switch is going to be placed, example SA and SB switches are secured in opposite directions internally on the DS-16, leading to different UP/DOWN meanings again.
Otherwise, this kind of switch is really useful.

I have to agree with you on that.
I have the [TABLE="class: email-invoice, width: 643"]

If this helps you to choose. It is centered and the spring load is up or down. So if I push it up it triggers an action and springs back by itself to the center when I let go. The same happens when I push it down.

If it is sprung both ways, that's fine to mount pretty much any switch position IMO. I have that same switch on SA and it's functioning as my telemetry page toggle fwd/back switch.
If the bias on the UP/DOWN switch is clear, I consider to get one for gears up/gear down/brake (spring). Saves practically one switch for other purposes, for me. I have a standardised (across models) gear switch position so that bias matters.

ZB,
is there any chance that that Esprit webpage can be enhanced (using plain English) so the customers can order exactly what they need?
thanks,

Next week we will add it to standard Jeti Firmware Update page.
Zb/Jeti USA
Described firmware for the Duplex R3/RSW (R3L) receivers allows you to
use the receiver as a full-featured and standalone Tx module.
The firmware is compatible with the “EN 300 328 v1.8.1“
standard.
With this update you will be able to simply use a wireless
Teacher/Student function (“buddy box”) together with any
third-party transmitters. You only need to supply the R3L with
power and PPM signal through the trainer port of the student’s
transmitter. After that, you should switch the DC/DS transmitter
to the “Teacher” mode and bind in a usual way.
The behavior of the R3L receiver in the transmit mode is completely identical to the Duplex Tx modules.

Hey we just got another revolutionary update from Jeti. You can use R3/RSW as RF Module for ANY other radios system.

This is actually VERY cool. I have been trying to help some guys with FPV goggles get their head tracking to work with the Jeti and I THINK this should be just the ticket. It would seem that if they connected the FPV head tracker goggles PPM output signal to the PPM input that the R3 now has with this new firmware, that they should be able to connect to their DS16 now via the trainer function and with the correct setup, their head tracker should work.

Hi ZB,
Do you know if this capability will be made available through firmware update sometime in the future for all EX receivers?

Binding RSAT2s with PowerBox Royal SRS
Can someone get me off first base please? PB is set to Jeti EX - have set mode to double path but when I come to 'pair primary' I just get the tick alternating with the hour glass and nothing happens. Even more basic than that - which is the signal pin in the PB jeti connector? I assume it's the one at the top?
Thanks for any help
Bob
Update
I have now managed to bind both receivers but when connected to the PB, the primary functions ok but the secondary wont 'pair' (tick and hour glass again).
Any thoughts gratefully received
Thanks

Thanks Jeti USA - I can now see both bats and antenna and I have 2 rsat2s in EX mode. Just a point of clarification: - having followed the video, I can't see the PB on the jeti screen. Is this because it's 'not Jeti'? Otherwise everything seems to be working ok.
Thanks again for the help

only native Jeti devices will show up in device explorer, no PB products. Everything should be fine if you see both RX in device explorer and both receiver "dots" on the PB display. You can easily test your system by disconnecting one receiver, everything should still work normal.
If you connect the PB telemetry output to the EXT input of one of your receivers, you can even get full telemetry like indepent battery & antenna fades/holds info. But in this case you would have to connect the receivers to the PB box via the SAT port to free up the EXT port (that requires to set the Jeti serial output to UDI and the PB box to accept UDI in)

Thanks for the info. I definitely need Jeti telemetry so will set up with UDI as advised

Bob,
you will ALWAYS have general telemetry functions, but since the batteries and receivers are connected to the Powerbox, you cannot record the individual battery conditions and info on RX reception without changing the settings as descibed. Also if you are going to add more sensors to the system (like speed, pressure or GPS sensors), you will have to change the settings anyway, because you need the EXT port(s) to connect the sensor(s).

I have a CB400 for my English Electric Lightning and am deeply disappointed in the CB400. I have had to add on ACT programmable Y leads in order to use it, which is just ridiculous. The CB400 outputs are not properly programmable which means they are pretty much useless in a complex model. They are no more use than a reversing Y lead. When you have 16 channels and 24 outputs, it means you have to split some channels for example flaps or tailplanes or gear/door from one channel to two or more servos. You may have several servos ganged together on one surface. You must have programming for centre point and end points as a bare minimum in order to make the servo travels match, and preferably a large number of points in between. The CB400 does not have that. It does have re-centering of the entire servo frame, and Limits, but those are not centre point and end points and can't do the job.
I am very tempted to sell my CB400 and buy one of the Powerboxes that has programmable outputs and a sequencer and a gyro. Sorry Jeti, but you have got the specification of the CB400 really wrong. I will not buy another CB400.

Sorry Gents, but I have to agree with Thomas. I'd love to have one, but CB400 is way too expensive!!

Late this or early next week Jeti will release new update for DC/DS-16 Tx/Rx. Update will add extra 8 channels to the 16 channel radio architecture. Those extra 8 channels will have adjustable mid/end points plus some extras, all full 4096 resolution. To make changes you do not even have to use Device Explorer, all will be set from Servo/Function Assignment page.

Having put on sale a box which is not adequate, Jeti has not told its customers "don't worry, a major improvement will be released within a couple of weeks even though we have had 2 years already to get it right and haven't". Why would they put on sale something that is not adequate, disappoint customers yet already have a big upgrade ready and not tell anyone? Doesn't make sense. Is this like your promise some years ago of the upgrade of the 16 to 32 channels?
