EV5U setup?
I tried mine for the first time today and I'm a bit puzzled.
Settings are:
Brakes proport.
Mode 1
Gear (reverse), time 2.0
Door (normal), time 6.0
When I turn on the radio the valve tries to close the doors and then opens them back again, when I retract the gear it closes the door first then the gear.
When I connect the programmer to the unit I get a steady blue, it doesn't appear to blink.
Any idea what I might be missing in the setup?

RE: EV5U setup?
Sverrir - can you try a quick test ... change the gear setting to NOT be reversed, and simply achieve your reversal by switching which airline you plug in to which port.
I seem to recall having all sorts of problems like this on my Jag initially, and IIRC it was that the unit does not properly handle gear reversal - gets confused about the start state, or something like that.
If that doesn't solve it, I will go hunting for the instructions that I wrote down while I was figuring the system out.

Put the gear back to normal on the valve, reversed it in the Tx, crossed the up/down lines for the doors and it works, good enough for me!

RE: EV5U setup?
I'm trying to figure out how to program this valve with the card. It's written in german/ english. I want simply to have function gear up & doors close later in flight doors open (stay open) and gear down. Also program brake function program. Thanks much.

2. press the enter button till you are in the mode selection section and select mode 1
3. press the enter button now set the function to gear
4. press the enter button and set v1
5. press enter and set valve to nor/on
6. press enter and use the arrow keys to set your delay (3 to 5 seconds has always worked)
7. plug you ev5u into the programming card and a blue light will start to blink 5 times indicating that you have a connection and it has completed uploading your perameters.
you are now done and can test the valve.
