Default iGyro Setup Help (Now solved)

I have iGryo + 6014 rx + Futaba SBE-1. All setup works in setup assistant. Gyro moves corfect ways on all surfaces. Flightmode Switch on SW-C and Normal Gain adjust on LD and Heading Gain on RD.

When I exit setup assistant gyro does not work.

In the Gyro settings menu when Knob RD or LD are moved they do not display in that menu as operating. I can manually adjust but not via Slider or Knob.

Have factory reset numerous times. Gone through setup numerous times.

Any clue as to what I am doing wrong.

Have posted over in Powerbox forums and searched RCU to no avail.

Or does in not work until gain adjusted in FM2 or FM3 modes after a test fly has been done?

If gains cant be seen working on ground how will it differ in air??

I am sure I have something wrong.

Yep do the test fly assistant then it'll work. It's fine to do that on the ground. Until that's done the surfaces only move in the sense setting screen.

You may need to set the ATV on the gyro channel to 105. I had to do this to get my gyro to work correctly.

All ATV's are set to 105 for FM Switch and Gain channels.

Gyro only oscillates in setup assistant. It does not oscillate in FM2 or FM3 on ground prior to test fly. Should it not work prior to flying and setting gains????

Gain is zero on the ground while in fly assist mode. You will be putting the gyro gain for each control surface during the flight. Every time you enter Fly assist setup it zeros the gains.

Going back to my heli days and three flight modes. heli moves on ground gyro moves.

Gyro should oscillate on the ground if in fm2 or fm3 prior to putting gain in . The only time the gyro works or oscillates is in setup assistant.

Flew today day switched to fm2 and nothing gain all the way to 100 % the to zero

the gyro needs to be working on ground before takeoff am I incorrect on this ??? in fm2 or fm3\

OK have solved the issues I have had.

Channels for FM1 , Normal Gain and Heading Gain in the setup I have have to be mapped below channel 8 in Receiver.

Channel 3 FM1
Channel 7 Normal Gain
Channel 8 Heading Gain

Gain can be seen manually set in Gyro settings page etc.

Now FM2 and FM3 are working as gain was made on ground 100% in both channels and oscillates. FM1 no gyro.

Now I understand if ZERO gain on FM2 and FM3 you will not see it oscillate it is only until GAIN is applied that you get a response but first ensure you gain slider or knob is manually seen in the Gyro settings page to confirm working.

This works with Futaba SBE-1 and also with 6303SB receiver.

Did you solve the issue by doing the flight test? Because I am having the same issue once I exit the gyro assist and without doing the test flight the gyro doesn’t work on either flight mode whatever I set the gain to
