Re Rsat antenna sound advice thank you i will return to Jeti.

Hi Guys
I have just passed on my DS16 Tx to a fellow Jet flyer and will be temporally using my sons DS14 as a stopgap.
The reason for this is I have just made a prerecord for the new DS24 due out hopefully soon :-)

Motivation for the jump is.
Having a colour screen will be a nice.
Being able to pick a new case finish will also be a bonus as when I got my DS16 it was Black, Black or Black
Feedback on the sticks I am not sure about.
The third RF module on a completely different wave length should be a real step forward in making sure the RF link is maintained under even extreme circumstances.

"Question"
I am wondering how the new third "900" RF module is going to be integrated at the RX end?
I seem to remember seeing a picture of a "900hz" R-Sat/R3 Rx and can grasp it could be connected the same or indeed in place of a 2.4 Sat.
But on the CB 100/200/400 that I use along with PB SRS units there are only ports for two Sats.

"Would we have to sacrifice one of the 2.4 Sats to run 900hz along side 2.4"

I would not be keen to do or is this "extra" RF module purely to accommodate the trainer function and still allow Duel path?

Thanks in advance, Mark V

Hello gents, I have a one year old new in box JETI Air force. I am letting it go for $1600.00 save $600.00. Will be listing in RCuniverse. PM if your Interested. I am not going to get to the projects that I purchased this radio for. My Dad can no longer live on his own having to take care of him and his properties.

Got my mgps today! will be fun to try out. My setup will be 9ch Rx + Satellite + mgps. I understand you can connect in different modes with dual Tx modules etc. Now the Satellite also needs to act as expander for the GPS.

Any one care to guide me how to set it up?

If you are using a Primary and Secondary receiver and you need telemetry to work for both receivers you need to configure them for dual path. Take a look at post #238 in this thread for a step by step description of how to configure it.

Thanks. Google found this that helped me out too.

Anyone see this problem?
I have set up my servo activated nose door and my air retracts to operate with the ds16 transmitter sequencer. It all works perfectly.
I added a MBAR to lower the gear at 40 lbs of pressure.
That appears to work perfectly untl the gear is lowered when the pressure drops below 40 lbs.. If I shut down the transmitter and receivers at that point, put air back in the tank, and turn the transmitter and receiver back on the gear and door get out of sequence. Even though the gear switch is in the down position the gear goes up and intersects with the door. Only happens when I shut down the equipment after the MBAR has de-activated the gear because of low presure.
Any Ideas??
Thanks,
Stan

Stan,
i haven't seen this myself. If I'm not mistaken the telemetry controls have a default value that you can tell it to use when you aren't receiving valid telemetry data.. Perhaps this us coming into play when you first power up the system. Something doesn't sound quite right but I'd probably need to see exactly what you have configured, etc to figure it out..

if if you could post screen captures if your gear setup and telemetry controls or even the model memory I'd be happy to take a look...

Hi Wayne,
I see what you are referring to in the Telemetry control screen. there is a choice of switch which I selected my regular gear switch (SB). I assume that will take over from L1 when there isn't valid info.
There is also a default percentage number which I have no idea what it does.
I have no Idea how to do screen captures. Never have done it before.
You might be on to something using the default settings but I have no idea what they mean with the percentage part.

Wayne just noticed under L1 logical switches I have selected control 1 (sb), Condition (and), control 2 MK1, which works fine until I reboot everything then I get the reversal of the gear switch.
There is a choice in the condition column to use either and or or. I had selected and. Do you think using OR would make a difference?

I was just going over my turbines procedure with Jeti and I am always curious as to what others are doing. Would you mind sharing what you use in so far as :

1) Switch used for starting procedure and/or safety built into it
2) Alarms used

I think sharing always make us come up with better ideas.

Stan,

Here is my setup for a gear falisafe and logical switch. If I'm not mistaken the Default percentage is the value the telemetry control outputs when it doesn't have current telemetry data to use to determine it's current state. I have it set to -100% which would turn Mx1 OFF when there is no telemetry data. Still, since it has a logical switch controlling the gear channel I'm not sure I understand how this could cause the gear to retract when the gear switch is in the gear down position as the logical switch should prevent this from happening. If you're using the sequencer to control the gear I assume you have it controlled by the logical switch ?

Wayne, Thanks for the screen shot.I added the default percentage that you suggested. It seems to be okay now. If it changes I will let you know.

Anybody?

Has anyone know how the new third 900mhz module in the upcoming DS24 will be utilised along side the two 2.4 modules at the Rx end?

Probably a third Sat connected but were?

wfield0455

My Feedback: (7)

I haven't seen anything official but based on trying to maintain backwards compatibility, I'm expecting that the new 900Mhz receiver will simply talk to the 3rd 900Mhz transmit module and will be connected to the primary receiver via a PPM link. For example, on a receiver that has Sat1 and Sat2 inputs such as an R14, you could connect a secondary 2.4Ghz receiver via PPM to the R14s Sat1 input and connect a 900Mhz receiver via a PPM link to the R14s Sat2 input. As I said I haven't heard anything official so I may be wrong but that is how I think it would work in order to allow it to work with existing receivers, etc.

Mark Vandervelden

I was thinking along the same lines but that wont work with the CB 100 or 200 I am using now
I also use third party units like the Powerbox SRS Mercury, Competition, Cockpit, Expander
These only have two Sat inputs so would have to give up duel path with 2.4

Jeti USA

Firmware on Central Box 200 & 400 will be updated that we can connect 3x receivers. The receiver new one will be the R3 900Mhz with single antenna and built in telemetry.

Mark Vandervelden

That is what I wanted to hear :-)

I wonder if Richard at Powerbox will do the same with the SRS units, after all they accommodate 4 Sats with DMS2 and DMSX

Mark Vandervelden

Next Question, what ever happened to Jeti "assist"??
They announced them in 2014 to be available that summer then it seemed to fade away :-(

I waited a year or more then invested first in the iGyro SRS, then an iGyro 3 and just last week one of the Mercury SRS units with built in everything.

Having a stand alone Jeti Assist Gyro plugged in as we might do a sensor and not having a bunch of patch leads like on the Gortex jobby (looks a right dogs dinner) or better still for smaller airfames having Assist built in to the Rex RXs would be fantastic, they would fly off the shelf's

What happend?

JoeJr1485

I would like to know too. This would make things so much more clean. I am just wondering if they would be up to par with PowerBox and Cortex?

I've tried updating my R3 receivers to 3.25 (I saw some were updating to higher version but that's not on the Esprit site) and I am getting (On both my windows based PC's (One is 3 months old) an error I am missing the FTD2XX.dll file. I've tried to download this file off the internet and has not gone well. Anyone else getting this error? Any idea why? This seems to be the best place to ask Jeti questions. Thanks By the way lovng my DS-16 with PB Royal combination.

You are missing the FTDI Chip drivers. Go here; http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm, download the correct version for your OS and install it. It sounds like you tried to do this and ran into problems but in order to help with that we'll need more info.

They are due after DC/DS-24 are done.
