Eclipe 7 Pro: Which AnyLink Cable...and/or Tx Settings Needed
I'm a little lost here. Please don't ping-pong me by saying "this is a Flyzone issue"...and then they'll say "it's a Hitec problem"; seems to me it's up to YOU to tell us how to work w/this popular new system, as this radio came out after the AnyLink module, its cables and its instructions did.
Got an Flyzone Playmate w/free AnyLink. I did some research, and it SEEMED that people were saying you need the TACM0005 cable...the one w/the stereo jack and the LiFe battery. Battery's charged, everything properly plugged in, powered up the plane & could NOT get any connection with the plane.
I tried every permutation/combination of the Tx power on & off (pretty sure it would be on), plugging the stereo jack into the trainer jack before & after powering up the Tx, and connecting the plane's battery before & after turning the Tx on. And in doing that, I got the Tx to show both the 'Master' and 'Slave' settings, and then flipped & held the trainer switch with each of those, too.
No go.
Do I need to change any of the Tx settings or switches?
Of course, the advice could just be off & I should be using the TSM0004 cable, the one for the Aurora 9. After all, the E-7Pro seems to share a lot of stuff w/the Aurora (training jack, battery/voltage, etc.). But the advice seemed pretty convincing about the need for the battery (which the ...0005 version has). BTW, the 0004 cable has two male 'servo plugs', and would go into the slot next to the trainer jack on the Tx (for software updates and data downloading data)....but on the Aurora, it goes onto bare prongs that are in some nook in back.
UPDATE: looking at what the 0005 cable seems to be, I rigged up two old 3-wire servo cords back2back and tried going from the data jack in the E-Pro 7 to the AnyLink....no LED came on the module. Flipped one of the plugs, still nada. You or GP wouldn't be annoying enough to re-arrange the 3 wire/male2male lead where the middle lead one one connector doesn't match the middle lead in the other...would you? If not, looks like if I can't get the 0005 cable to work, I'm SOL
Please help me out...thanks!
