Default RE: Weatronic question

I will go as far as to say I am sure that your tx and rx are bound even though they don't appear to work!

I have done this myself by doing manual selection of the modulation in gigacontrol (PPM12 to suit a 12 channel model) and then being caught out at the airfield when I tried to quick bind to my 7 channel Typhoon. The tx and rx lights all showed they had rebound but I had no control - because the tx for that model memory was sending 9 channel data to the wea module which had previously been set manually to PPM12 and it could not match the 9 channel data to the 12 channel setting in the Wea. I had no laptop with me to change the Wea back to auto so I lost the day's flying session. Got home and connected it up and got the same screen as shown in mark's photo - PPM12 manually selected, and the box beneath that is blank (it should show the actual modulation being used) and to the right of it the message "no signal". I changed to auto, it instantly came to life proving that the binding at the airfield had worked as the lights on tx and rx had said, even when there was a modulation mis-match and it seemed that nothing worked.

Since then I have set the wea to auto and never change it, it reacts instantly to me changing the tx between models using 9 or 12 channel mode.

Mark has manually set the Wea to PPM12. Should that work with Futaba in PPM12 mode? Surprisingly, no! Weatronic publishes a table of modulation settings to use (in German only :-( ) and it says that the Futaba in PPM12 mode should use Wea in auto mode, and do not use Wea in PPM12 mode, it causes problems. http://www.weatronic.com/en/download...nic-sendemodul

Marc, set the Wea to auto and I expect it will all suddenly work!
