kjell,
yes I guess it is, I just use flight modes and throttel curve. how do you do servo cut off?
Just find the servo cut-off menu and select which servo to cut, and which input to control it.
As it is the throttle you want to cut, make sure you set the throttle servo go to -100%
Kjell
I then went to safe mode and changed the curve to be a flat line at the bottom, so when in that condition the throttle stick has no effect. It works just fine.
isn't that the same as setting up a servo cut-off function?
Kjell
Hello Morten,
Please don't hesitate to make contact if you need e.g. hands on testing out a Core.
That can be arranged
Kjell
First of all, make sure you have the latest firmware update installed.
Yours is two years old, and does not support Core
I have a Uni Log 2, and I suppose they work and connect in the same way.
The UniLog has a plug marked "Rx" and from there I plug it into the P2bus on the Core receiver.
The Uni-Sense says that you can plug it into any free channel, but I would also try the P2bus there also.
Kjell
and also make sure that the throttle goes to - 100% when cut off.
Don't ask me how I know that.
How about Prowing 2022, are you going to be there ?
Kjell
The last resort is going to be done over the weekend, when I can borrow someones Spektrum radio and see if it will work there.
If not, Ill get a new ESC for my local dealer.
Kjell
My ESC is a 100 amp. The one you are referring to is a 130 to 160 amps.
Here's the manual for mine: spektrumrc.com/ProdInfo/Files/Avian-Manual-EN.pdf
On page 7 is where it starts, and ends for my part.
ESC/Radio Calibration
1. Begin with the transmitter powered on at full throttle.
2. Connect a battery to the ESC. The motor will emit a series of three
ascending tones.
3. The motor will emit two short tones to indicate the high throttle position
has been accepted.
I never get to item #3, it goes directly to en endless "single beep" as described on page 16.
"Motor won’t operate and continues to emit tones"
"One short tone repeating"
This one gives you two options:
The throttle input is not at the low position
Throttle range is set too narrow
I can't get around this.
I've tried throttle ranges from sthe standard +/- 100% up to +/150%.
Tried to reverse the direction of the throttle.
Horizon hobby ndicated a faulty ESC, and sent me off to our local dealer
Kjell
The travel may be out of range for the ESC at 100%... Try reducing travel to 80%.
Tried a number of travels here, from 80% to 150%, same result each time.
The ESC does not recognize the receiver.
I have a dialog with Horizon hobby on this one.
//K
I'm not sure if this is the correct subforum, but I give it a try anyway,
Has anyone got any E-Flite model type PNP Smart in operation?
I cannot get the ESC to recognize the receiver and it's throttle setting.
All I get is a series of single tones, indicating to possible reasons:
The throttle input is not at the low position -- always at lowest possible position.
Throttle range is set too narrow -- set to -100%, even tried -200%
Anyone have any experience with this?
Kjell
if you want to trim the nose wheel, create a function called just that. Then assign the RO-A or -B as input, and the nose wheel servo as output.
Reduce the servo travel to e.g 10%, then you're done.
Kjell
I see that, but the best I can get by sliding the values are still -95%, not to -99%
Would it be possible to add the familiar "<<" and "<" arrows here to adjust these values?
As it it now, the timer stops at -95%, but the motor is still running.
Kjell
I want to set the stop value (red) at -100 %, and the start value from -99% to +100%. This os for a "Motorlaufzeit" timer.
Is there any specific reason this can't be done?
The photo shows the closest I can get.
it might be nitpicking, but I'd like to to show precise values, -95% and -92% is a bit, well unprecise.
Kjell
Ahaa...
Now you've added some more screenshots.
Kjell
PS, wouldn't it be nice if you could copy this timer setup over to another model?
How do you set the Stick-C range to get the Motorlaufzeit timer started?
It should start whenever you move the stick away from -100%
Also, how do you set the Virtual switch to stop the Motorlaufzeit timer?
It should be active until you pass -99%
Kjell
just make sure you set the throttle servo to go to -100% when the cut-off is activated.
Standard is 0% which is half throttle.
Don't ask how I found out.....
Kjell
It works with the Micro-USB only.
No batteries.
You must have version 2.15 in the UniLog for it to work with Core.
Kjell
Und den Aufwand um eine Funktion zu kopieren, wobei die Servonummer evtl. nicht gleich sind und auch die Wege und Richtungen anzupassen sind?
Not all functions are suitable for such a copy functionality. If they're not, then just don't put them in the library/repository.
I always have the motor on "servo 1", and on all electric powered model, I always assign a servo cut-off on servo 1, triggered by a safety switch, along with speech output saying "Motor active" or "Motor not active".
On Benziner Modelle I switch the ignition on/off using the same safety switch and a bit different speech output.
Definitely suitable for such a functionality.
