Thread: Wireless !

At last i have sorted teh PCB.... ! they should be with me in a couple of weeks. I will have a few early production models available for Spektrum / JR.

What you need...
A copy of phoenix and its dongle, Your DX6I , DX7, DSX9 ect and an AR6100 reciver.

How it works....
The signlas from a 6100 are consecutive and the wireless adaptor rebuilds these into a composite PPM signal that Phoenix needs. It will work from 5 to 9 chanels just depends on the RX you plug into it. (Futaba WILL NOT work)

How to make it work...
Plug the 6100 into the adaptor and the phoenix dongle then plug into a USB port (the rx gets its power from the USB as does the phoenix dongle) Bind the RX to your raido and set up Phoenix to your raido as normal. Then you can throw tehh whole thing behind your PC because you dont need to see it again. When you turn the raido off Phoenix will tell you its unplugged. It just works. We have had a couple on trial since Xmas.

How much is it ???
I dont know yet.... i still have to count the beans... but i am sure it will not be expensive.

Availability....
The first few will be ready by the 2nd week in june and if there is enough intrest i will make a few hundred. They are all surface mount and made on a mechine so for production quantity's i expect to be available by the end of July. If there is significant interest in a futaba version i will work on it but the technology is diferrent and it will take a while.

If you need to be on a waiting lsit PM me
If you need loads PM me.

Hmmm!!..Interesting project Steve!

I went from a Spektrum Moduled JR PCM9X to a Spektrum DX7se last year so i lost the ability to use my sim so i'm interested to see how you go with this.

If thee is an RX available that has teh same output format as the 6100 then it will work. I havent tried any of the specific 'SE' recivers as i dont have a tx...Let me know which RX and i will see if i can scrounge one to test... MAybe it will work with a 7100 the frame rate of 11mS isnt an issue providing the chanels are sequential the same as a 6100...

Steve, what about the AR7600 receiver mate - D'yu reckon that'l work?

It wont matter anyway as the DX7se can work perfectly fine with the AR6100 rx

I Would be increadibly intrested in one of these units...

Just out of interest, Is it possible that this could be used for wireless buddy leads? If so, I will deffinatly have one from you! Thats the sole reason I havnt sold my DX7 yet, I need it for SIM and Trainer ports.

Excellent job - thank you

Well done Steve! I remember reading about your trials a while back. Great to see it getting into production!

Hi Guys,

I've been running this system since Christmas. Its a very clever little gadget that you can just throw under the desk, attach to your PC and forget about.

Nice one Steve for the time and effort you have put into this one

I've tried this at steves house & it's
amazing how much better it is without
that little wire getting tangled round your
chair wheels, feet etc.
Felt so much better to use.
I will deffo have one off you mate

Count me in for one Steve.

Sounds good, my pc is hooked up to a 40"lcd tv with the PC the other side of the room, this would make it so much easier to use the sim correctly, i'm in.
