I am trying to assign one of the three internal gyros to the rudder and ailerons.
Right now both are resounding to roll but not yaw.
Is there a way to choose which axis I am controlling?

I know the older ones had to be set using the direction of mounting the receiver.

Mine is doing all three on the roll axis so i hoping I can set the axis for the channel I want.


Thanks
Dave

Dave, each internal gyro is on it's own axis. Gyro 1 and Gyro 2 will be either roll or pitch depending on orientation of the receiver. Gyro 3 is yaw.

If I understand you correctly, you are using 1 gyro to control aileron and rudder and it responds to roll. So, I'm assuming you WANT your rudder to respond to roll? This sounds unusual. If you also want it to respond to yaw, you will need to also asign internal Gyro 3 to it. You can assign up to two gyros to a surface as you see fit.

Can you clarify exactly what you are trying to set up?

Hi,

No, I am using one gyro for ail, one for rudder. But I switched the rudder channel to each one of the gyros, one at a time, and it was responding to roll on all three.....so I am wondering how I get the yaw isolated? Is there anyway to set the gyro # versus axis or is it all predetermined like the older receivers?


Thanks again
Dave

That's weird Dave,

Each of the three Gyro's is on it's own axis, you can't change that but, there's no need to. From what you are saying is you have 3 gyro's but they are all on the same axis? Obviously, there's no point to that, maybe Harry can offer some insight here.

You can assign any surface to whatever gyro you want. As I said earlier, Gyro 1 & 2 will be either roll or pitch depending on the receiver orientation in your plane and Gyro 3 will be the yaw. So, make sure your rudder is on gyro 3 and test for direction. If it doesn't respond, make sure the sensitivity is up. Let me know how it goes...

Edit: added a screen shot of gyro 3 (yaw) assigned to my nose gear steering with fixed sensitivity, hope that helps

Thanks very much. I will try to work with it when I gets some free time in the next week.

I appreciate you taking the time to help!

That sounds odd Dave. Can you save the wea file and attach it here, change the extension to jpg so rcu will let you attach it then with any luck I can save it and change it back and have a look at it in gigacontrol.

Did you solve thre retract sequence problem you were having?

Hi guys, thanks for your time.

I will play with it a bit more an post if I am not figuring it out, also I don't have much time until next weekend. Will let you know.

HarryC, as far as the sequence, I did get that to work just changing the speed to default! Thanks. I set the gear channel speed in the tranmistter way down and this is working so far (without airstream pressure on the gear) I hope it works in the air as on the ground.I don't know why the system can't mange the servo speed being slowed?

Thanks again, you guys keep me going when I wonder if I have gotten into a deeper hole with Wx. I still do really value the stop flexibility and redundancy of this whole system. Now if I can just get a Wx Transmitter.....

It's due to the unusual way they implemented it. Watch gigacontrol when you use tx slowing and you will see that it is the horizontal marker that moves slowly, so the servo which is represented by the vertical marker, slowly follows any programmed curve. But if you use normal tx speed and gigacontrol slowing, it slows the vertical servo marker not the horizontal marker so it can not follow a curve. Wea then moves the servo in a straight line from the start point on the vertical axis to the end point on the vertical axis at whatever slow speed you have selected. If you have a top hat shape curve, the start and end points are the same on the vertical axis so there is no movement of the servo at all. What you had done by having both tx and Wea slowing was mixing the two so the tx control moved to the middle of the top hat and instead of the servo going straight there, Wea was slowing it down in gettting there, so the servo just started to move by which time the tx control signal had reached the end of the top hat thus commanding the servo to come back to where it started. The result was that you got a slow small servo twitch. By switching off wea slowing you allow the servo to go at full speed to follow the curve at the speed set by the tx.

that is exactly what I experienced. Lesson learned, thanks!
