GOVERNOR
The AXON includes an internal governor, suitable for electric and gasser/nitro use, which takes over the rpm control from the external
governors/ESCm and is able to do this with high efficiency due to additional information about the current flight status.
For use with electric helis, either a special, separately available sensor (see accessories) needs to be used, which will simply be run
over one of the motor wires, or use a standard hall sensor with corresponding magnet.
For use with gasser/nitro helis, always use a standard hall sensor.
The parameter „Control gain“ is banked and thus can be set separate for each bank in the software.
ATTENTION
: in combination with a Kontronik ESC, this needs to be set to Mode 2 (normal throttle mode), as otherwise parts in the
ESC’s control may act strangely.
Configuration options in the software
The governor can be activated and deactivated as well as configured via software.
Waiting Time (Electric only):
Time that the external ESC needs to spool up. Needs to be set so that it matches the ESC‘s spool-up time from powering on until
achieving the defined rpm
.
Important:
The heli must not be lifted off before the defined rpm is reached and therefore the internal rpm logging process has acknowledged
the rpm. Too early a load, and the resulting drop in rpm, would lead to an inaccurate detection and the internal governor might not
work correctly.
Stop Position (Electric only):
Defines the motor‘s OFF position.
Spool-Up Time:
W
ith gasser/nitro (or ESC without own soft start), this is where you define the spool-up time, meaning the time from powering on until
reaching the set rpm.
Important:
This is mandatory for gasser/nitro, no delay must be used from the radio! A signal jump must be detected.
Increased Idel Position (gasser/nitro only):
At
this point the internal ramp-up will be started, as defined in ‚Spool-Up Time‘.
