RE: Weatronic 2.4 RF diagnostic tool
Hi Oliver,
I mounted a 12 channel micro reciver in a small prop delta plane (an outlaw), if it went down, it would only be a propplane [:'(]
It looks as far as I can see ok, the dropout at the end of the first file is due to landing off-field (around 100 meters from myself, when I walked to get the plane, I placed the transmitter on the ground, and I assume that the TX got no frames back from the plane then. I picked up the plane and walked back to the transmitter, and the signal increases again.
Can you have a look and see if the data looks ok ? (I can send you the data via email if I can have your address ?)
Transmitter is a 14MZ

Hi Guys,
Yes, I believe it is the the right antenna looking at the plug side.
I have now installed an 8 Micro into a 5 meter Nimbus sailplane with a Powerbox as there are so many servos in the wing, 4 flap, 4 aileron and 2 airbrakes. With the Powerbox handling 7 channels and one channel direct to the receiver operation looks to be entirely normal, no compatibility problems even with three Matchboxes to distribute the signals. All I need now for flight test is something to tow it up !
The big 12-30 is now installed in the Reaction for flight test, hopefully next week. I will post some log files whan I have done the first few lights. Power supplies chosen are Duralite 4 cell (redundant) 4300 main battery and Duralite 2150 two cell pack all with 16 AWG cables.
Incidentally I bought a Dell Mini computer to take to the fiels for Weatronic use as I do like to look at the data during and after a flying session, Giga Control, Nav View and Rx control all installed.
This computer seems perfect for such use, small light, fast and quite cheap. Strongly recommended.
Keep the info coming !
Regards,
David.
PS Oliver, When binding you ALSO need to press the bind button very shortly after switch on , just pressing the bind button after around 1 minute and the bind function does not work. A guy on the other Weatronics thread could not bind his receiver, pressing the button immediatley after switch on fixed his problem.

Hi David, sorry to go 'off topic' slightly, did you have any joy communicating with Germany regarding the repair of my Tx module and micro Rx?

I told Alwin, on the phone, of your problem and left it with him EXPECTING some prompt action. I am VERY disappointed that it has not happened.
In any business looking after customers who have already bought your product is/should be priority no 1.

OK, thanks for your help, I don't know what elese I can do? I guess I'll just have to keep banging away until I get some response?
Highly frustrating!!

These are the best results I have seen so far. Of course it is not a jet and the flight distance must be shorter. However your system is fully GO.
Let me know how it performs on a jet to see the difference ( EMIs are higher on a jet due to the ECU and more elctronic devices fitted )

RE: Weatronic 2.4 RF diagnostic tool
Thanks Oliver !
Yes, my initial impression was also that they looked fine, just needed confirmation from a pro
The receiver was "mounted with a showel" inside a small (but very fast) delta wing (1,3 Kg, with a 9x8 prop running at 17K RPM), and I regard this airframe as "a no loss" should "something" happen
Both flights was actually going out far away (at least 400 meters to each "side"), I choose this plane also because of the "easy to see" shape, so I know I can follow it far away.
I will play a little more with it, and then mount one of my 12 channel micro receivers in my P160SX powered Elan, that one consumes a lot of airspace pretty quickly
Thanks for your help (and especially this thread), it's much appreciated, and very comforting with a group when this new technology comes out!
Now, if just Weatronic would step up to their customer support, and start answering emails !?!?!

Thanks for the great job you're doing unraveling some of the mysteries of the gigacontrol I have about 12 flights on my new system and so far so good could you take a look at my data and see if anything jumps out at you also on the events tab what exactly am I looking at here.
Thanks

Hello Stripe. Welcome to the Jet forum by the way.
Here is the analysis of your data:
Lowest RSSI 1 rx:-84,5 dBm
Lowest RSSI 2 rx:-84,5 dBm
Lowest frame rx1:75
Lowest frame rx2:78
Average RSSI rx values: -67,5 dBm
Failsafe 0
losses of feedback communication ( 136/168 events ): 5 for a total of 17 seconds.
Lowest RSSI 1 tx: -127,5 dBm
Lowest RSSI 2 tx: -128,5 dBm
Lowest frame tx1: 0
Lowest frame tx2: 0
There was a difficult downlink event at 3'38'', shortly after your takeoff ( possibly someone masking the transmission line ? ).
Apart from this event, the data shows:
Lowest RSSI 1 tx: -102 dBm
Lowest RSSI 2 tx: -110 dBm
Lowest frame tx1: 25
Lowest frame tx2: 27
Average RSSI tx values: -83,5
This seems to be a normal result. What is important to check ( in bold ) is the minimum Rx frames. Yours show quite good values, even during this event at 3'38''.
So your control link ( uplink ) is strong and good.
Also note that you get quite a few more downlink disconnections than usual ( 5 events for a total of 17 seconds ). This is also due to a partial masking of antenna 1.
Just check that this event does not happen too often, or you might want to change the position of antenna 1 ( the one that is on the left side looking at the receiver from the back ).
Your feedback link ( downlink ) is a bit on the weak side but nothing to worry about ( this is why you get so many disconnect events on the event tab )

Thank you very much it's beginning to make sense now, all I need for Christmas are more receivers to convert the rest of my stuff.
keep up the good work

RE: Weatronic 2.4 RF diagnostic tool
Hello to all Weatronics user,
As I told you last week, I come back from our field wich is a military base with an active radar.
I have installed the Weatronic Rx 12 in my plane (Sun dancer with a TITAN 62 engine).
My system does not work on this type of field (I mean with a radar very near of the field ie about 600m). Every 7 seconds I have radio perturbation. It is definitely impossible to fly.
I am really disapointed because I love this Weatronic system !!
On the Flight LOG, the system has not recorded any failsafe or any error code every 7 seconds. This is really very strange.
On our field, two guys fly with a Futaba FAAST System and everything works faultless. This is really strange.
I don't understand and I think this could be security matter for everyone who want to fly not far from an active radar (maybe not far from an airport ?)
Is there someone who can help me to understand ?
many thanks
Jean-Philippe
Ps: i can send my flight log to everyone interested to analyse the flight.

RE: Weatronic 2.4 RF diagnostic tool
Please send me your flight log;
[email protected]
Have you tried a modulation change, ie PCM to PPM or vice versa ?
Wonder if your TRANSMITTER is being swamped.
Can you try another tx with the same Rx ?
Have you been able to look at the spectrum analyser when ground testing ?
Does the radar head rotate once every 7 seconds ?
Anyway send me your log (or logs) and I will take a look at it and compare with my own logs using a 12 ch Micro.
My 12-30 is now installed in a Reaction so when I get back to Sydney, just transitting Soeul at the moment, we are GO for the test flights !
Regards,
David.

RE: Weatronic 2.4 RF diagnostic tool
Hi Jeanfi,
I have checked you file and it looks perfectly fine. I don't think that your trouble comes from the RF link.
Here is the analysis of your data:
Lowest RSSI 1 rx:-82,5 dBm
Lowest RSSI 2 rx:-85 dBm
Lowest frame rx1:63
Lowest frame rx2:64
Average RSSI rx values: -80,5 dBm
Failsafe 0
losses of feedback communication ( 136/168 events ): 3 for a total of 24 seconds.
Lowest RSSI 1 tx: -102,5 dBm
Lowest RSSI 2 tx: -102,5 dBm
Lowest frame tx1: 0
Lowest frame tx2: 0
The jamming must be coming either from downstream of the RF stage ( EMI pickup on the patch cable or Tx module or antenna module downstream of the QC chip ) or up stream of the Rx de-muxing stage ( either in the final dispatch board of the RX upstream of the QC chip or in the servo lines ).
There is also something strange in your log file: the recording starts from no where ( ie not from the original power up ). Also the shape of the RSSI curves is almost perfect. I have never seen such a perfect tub like curve yet on a wea log. This looks strange to me. Was that a flight log ?
Could you fly this system in a quieter environment and post the results here ?
What I could also do at a later stage is send you my system quickly by Fedex so that you could do the same tests with another proven set.

Hello to David and Olivier,
My Flight log is not a flight log, this is a test on the ground. I did not fly
Yes, David I can send to you my file log. Thanks a lot.
This afternoon i have tested my system in my field (house)...everything perfect at about 100m from the plane in the range test mode (10mW)

Yes, David I can send to you my file log. Thanks a lot.
This afternoon i have tested my system in my field (house)...everything perfect at about 100m from the plane in the range test mode (10mW)

RE: Weatronic 2.4 RF diagnostic tool
Hello David,
Have you tried a modulation change, ie PCM to PPM or vice versa ?
I have tried PPM18 and PPM24 not SPCM20 (JR)
Wonder if your TRANSMITTER is being swamped.
Can you try another tx with the same Rx ?
I have a MC15 and i have already tried this receiver in a little electric glider (with a speed480 engine), nothing has been detected and I have flown two times.
Have you been able to look at the spectrum analyser when ground testing ?
No sorry.
Does the radar head rotate once every 7 seconds ?
Yes
Thanks
