I have got the new updates working. Finally.... Word to the wise when updating, be sure you disable all firewalls and anti-virus stuff on the computer. Secondly, the order in which things are connected and powered up is critical during update and registration. Jordan Morse lives near me and I'm lucky to have such a knowledgable resource to help me with all of this sometimes frustrating tech. It's cool as heck when it works but maddening when it doesn't. For a long time I couldn't get the Teleconverter to register. With MAD help we got it working. It's important to use a fully charged 7.4V li battery. Thanks Jordan!
Jordan is the Owner/President of Morse Aircraft Devlopment. I call it "MAD" for short. Pilots love acronyms. Jordan is now a rep and sponsored pilot for PB in the USA. You can buy PB from lots of places but you can't beat the SUPPORT you receive when you buy from MORSE. He has been helping me work through several issues with the latest updates and we have discussed several issues.
BAX, there is a significant issue with the new 2.5 update for the 18MZ when used with the PowerBox Teleconverter. While it does display the GPS information supplied to the Royal SRS it is not possible to zero out position errors and clear min/max values.
Secondly the antenna fades on both RX's count up at power ON to a value of 2047. Not sure why. 2048 is a familiar PWM number though. Any correlation?
It is my hope Futaba gets on the ball RE telemetry.
Currently FUTABA CUSTOMERS NEED
telemetry modules for:
AIRspeed ( these $3000 TX's are actually used to fly AIRplanes occasionally.)
G meter
Fuel Flow for kerosene with a 4mm Festo in and out. (Look at how JETI did it and copy it.)
