Gentleman I am testing the cb200 with 2 r3, 900 MHz and bavarian demon, its working flawlessly but I want (if possible) make extension for receiver with powerbox cable. the question is: how long must be the extension between receivers, bavarian and cb200?.

best regards and good night

When I've asked the factory they have said “up to 1 meter”. I’ve used twice that and not had an issue but that is what they “officially” say.

What configuration are you using? Two 2.4 into CP to CB200 R1 and R2 and the 900 directly into CB200 ext port or something else?
Thanks

That's the only way with the CB200 to get 2x 2.4 and 1x 900 RX

And that's the way I do it...

V1.31 for the CB200 allows up to (3) rx to be used. All (3) need to be the same data input meaning that you cannot use Cortex Pro or Assist as one of the inputs.

That's very interesting but I really don't understand how the CB200 could care if one of the receivers is an Assist ? Is the Assist fail-safe setting the problem with intelligence fail safe from an Assist preventing fail over to Rx2 or Rx3 ? If so I was under the impression that the latest Assist firmware had that fixed and you could have the Assist output noting on Ex Bus (assuming stabilize EX Bus is selected for CB200) and if the Assist goes to fail safe it outputs nothing so the CB200 can fail over to 900Mhz, etc. What am I not understanding correctly ?

yes that’s exactly my configuration. I updated all receivers and CB200 to last version, Two 2.4 into CP to CB200 R1 and R2 and the 900 directly into CB200 ext port (receiver config selected in CB) actually testing in avanti ducted fan. working flawlessly. next step is using in the turbinator 2 with more telemetry (turbine and speed sensor) and 40 cm extension for receivers. thanks danny for the info

So to clarify you are saying you cannot use the CP with version 1.31 on the CB200??
Thanks

Do you have the switchover strategy set to time out or to mixing?? It appears in the update notes you cannot use mixing with the assist so I would assume that would be true with the CP as well??
Thanks

hi tim, I checked in the radio is time out (80ms) I told with james from esprit tech about that (he say it depends how is your signal if you have strong signal and Q value time out is OK but mixing is little bit slow but better stability) so I have RX1 A1 A2 minimum 5 RX2 minimum 5 Q value 100% in both receivers all time time out 80ms, with this I am testing in avanti ducted fan flawlessly.

about extension between cb / cp / rx don’t use more that 20 inches or 50 cm. 2 extensions per receiver so I will go with power box cable 1 extension of 25 cm and the second one with 25 and test it in the avanti.

have a great day

You can use either of the switching modes but not the “mixing” mode. Sorry for the confusion. I will edit my original post.

F1 Rocket,
I am using two R3's into a Cortex and then into a CB200 (no 900). What type of switchover occurs in the Cortex with the R3's before the CB200? I am currently using "mixing" in the CB and it seems to be working fine.

I searched around but cannot find anything on this error message

Warning: Controls layout has changed

I changed a couple of switches out when I first got my DS-24 (Fall 2018) and have flown with it at least a dozen times on numerous jets. I only get this message on one of my five jets. Up until today I would just OK through it and everything seemed to work fine. Today, I OK'd through it but the retract signal would not work, i.e. I could not retract the gear (I always test on the ground before first flight of the day), after some tinkering (turning the radio on/off etc.) I was able to get it to work. Now, I'm nervous there is something not right and afraid to fly the jet.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the help.

Tom

I would guess the ribbon cable is not installed correctly. Open the back of the radio and redo the connection.

Tom,

If you loaded this particular jet into the DS -24 from another Jeti radio and the layout was different then you will get this message. If the other jets were installed from scratch on the DS -24 then they would not show this. Check the functions menu on the jet that is giving you the error message and make sure you have the right switches controlling the functions as you want them. I had the same problem switching from the 16 to the 24.

Thanks for info Bob. I did not load this jet from another Jeti radio, I built it from scratch in this radio. However, I think I built it from scratch before I changed out the switches, which could probably cause the same issue you describe above. On a hunch, I changed the switch assignment on each of the three switches I had changed out, then turned off the transmitter, thus saving the config. I then turned it back on and reassigned the functions back to the new switches and that seems to have cleared up the issue.

Thanks again for the help! - Tom

good day

I am working ds 24 (version 4.28) with:

2 x R3 primary and secondary receiver (serial link ex bus, out period: auto failsafe: disable)
1 x 900 Mhz
1 x cb200 (out period: auto Ext: receiver Rx 1 and 2 EX bus L Pin14 telemetry Pin 15: EX bus for CTU Failsafe: enable Shorted Output No1)
1 x CTU (frames CRC error RX 7)
1 x Bavarian demon (firmware version 2.0 Servo type Digital 333hz all servos Mks 747)

when I go to device explorer I see

1 R3 EX
2 CORTEX PRO (1)
3 CBOX200 (1)
4 CTU (2)
5 R3 EX
6 RSAT 900

not all time are stable usually some device disconnected, some times when i want to enter to device it disconnects and some second latter it apear again, I see signal 100%. tomorrow morning I will fly but I don’t know if is secure fly in this condition.

I appreciate your help with some idea about that

thanks

I would
more be concerned about the shorted output no1.
also you need to feed the cortex a powerlead
from a free channel to cortex port nmbr 4

Yes I have the powerlead but I'll check the shorted output. Do you have and idea how to check?

I would fly with it but I believe the CB200 should be at the top of the list. I believe that is the problem with things apparently connecting and disconnecting. I had a similar problem with my CB400. Once I moved it to the top of the list everything worked fine.

CB's is always (at least on mine) second after the Cortex Pro.....I always taught its because the Cortex actually provide what the #1 RX would, a ExBus signal??? but I could be wrong .....
