E = N/A
AUX = grey wire connected to AUX 2 on Rx
I power up with the jumper installed the first time and let the gyro sequence through to the end until I got a fast blinking LED. Manual says you can do that if you want to skip the use of the gyro. I had full control of the control surfaces with the Tx after that sequence. Pulled the jumper and powered off, then on again and got a solid LED.
Now, when I go back and try to teach the gyro my travel end points it doesn't take them. I don't think I get the feedback from the gyro the way I should, seems like it just cycles through the same LED blinks regardless of my stick inputs until the end.
I don't believe the order of the cable connections must correspond to the manual's LED sequence. I just start with aileron input, even though A is elevator.
Really starting to get frustrated with this thing...
Hi Airforce7,
To setup the gyro, make sure your TX is completely ready to fly the model with the correct travel etc. Turn Dual rates off.....
Then to teach the gyro, you need to do the following....
1. Turn everything off
2. Place jumper into gyro
3. Then turn on your transmitter with neutral sticks and dual rates OFF.
4. Turn on your model.
5. This is where you need to be quick.... the LED will cycle through the various controls. For you, the gyro light sequence will be....
2 x RED blinks (Do nothing)
2 x GREEN blinks (Right Aileron)
1 x GREEN blink (Left Aileron)
2 x GREEN blinks (Aileron Neutral, Elevator Push - Down)
1 x GREEN blink (Aileron Neutral, Elevator Pull - Up)
2 x GREEN blinks (Aileron + Elevator Neutral, Rudder Right)
1 x GREEN blink (Aileron + Elevator Neutral, Rudder Left)
When the system blinks fast continously, Pull the jumper out and power the model down. The above step happens fast, so you need to be aware of which input to give beforehand, otherwise you'll put in a wrong input or miss it altogether, as the gyro doesn't wait for you.
I remember having to do this a couple times before I got it done right. Remember, the gyro 'learns' your end points AND stick position during the above sequence - ie: During the time the jumper is in the gyro.
