Setup can be done trough a data terminal or trough a pushbutton and LED light. Full
functions are only available if programmed trough the data terminal.
In both cases, first of all you should decide if you will use one or two channels for
control, and then setup your transmitter accordingly. Check with a servo first that the
transmitter is operating as it should and to identify the RX channels used.
Double channel operation
. The
Gear In
input control the retract operation and the
Brake
input control the brake.
Single channel operation
: The
Gear In
input control both the gear and the brake.
The operation similar to a turbine engine control where raising the trim enable the
engine to run and the stick throw regulate the engine power. In this case, first the
gear will be operated and then the brake. For example, you can setup a channel that
from –100% to –75% activate the gear and from –75% to +100% regulate the brake
power.
The following setup procedure assumes the use of a Xicoy data terminal, please jump to
the “Manual Setup” section for the pushbutton and Led setup procedure.
Setup using a data terminal
Connect the data terminal (Same model as used by Xicoy V10 ecus) on the socket at left
side of
Gear In
input.
You can navigate trough the different menus by the buttons on the left side of the box,
and values are changed using the + and – buttons on the right side.
First screen displayed show the status (gear up, gear down, etc), the battery voltage,
power of the brake, and, during motor operation, the amperage to each of the motors.
Second screen display the RC signals measured from the receiver. You can check that
the RX connection is working and the measured values change when the transmitter
controls are operated. Standard RC signal go from 1000 to 2000uS, 1000us typically is
displayed on RC transmitters as –100% 1500uS 0% and 2000uS as +100%. Due at display
space the numbers are divided by 10, so a measured signal of 1400uS is displayed as
“140”. You can check that, when operating the transmitter, the reading change
accordingly.
On third screen you can scroll trough the different programming sections. Select the
area you want to program by pressing the “+” button.
