Re: How do I calibrate the channels on my TX?

This worked, and after some experimentation, it seems that the lowest value I can use that still arms the board is 1150. Now, however, I have another problem. When the board arms, the motors spin up and I can't make them stop unless I disarm the board. No amount of down trim on the throttle has an e...

Re: Fiber carbon hollow

I have had mixed results with this site. They don't pack well, but this is a sturdy item that I wouldn't worry too much about. I've gotten good quality carbon tubes from them.

Re: How do I calibrate the channels on my TX?

I just checked and this is what is in the sketch and uploaded to my WMC:

// ******************
// rc functions
// ******************
#define MINCHECK 1100
#define MAXCHECK 1900

When I have the GUI loaded I can only see values between 1200 and 1800.

Re: How do I calibrate the channels on my TX?

Thanks, I'll try that next. Will that one setting apply to all the channels, or do I need to do that for each?

How do I calibrate the channels on my TX?

When I look at the GUI, all my channels are centered around 1500. However, the minimum values I get are around 1200 and the max is around 1800. I can't arm the control board unless I use the trims to lower the throttle and increase the yaw to the right. I am also not able to disarm the board / motor...

Re: Can't connect to GUI / board on Mac - any suggestions?

I tried a different FTDI cable and am now able to connect.

The FTDI basic connector that came with the Crius SE board does not work for me. I ordered a different board from Adafruit.com (FTDI Friend) and that did not work either.

I got the FTDI USB cable from Sparkfun.com and that worked. http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9718
