full size v-bar help

[vinny155]

any v-bar guru's out there,this is my first full size v-bar,it doesnt want to initialise,ive tried the sensor wire around in different slots to eliminate the possibility of putting it in the wrong port but still no joy,is there something im missing,it gets stuck on initialising page in pc software and without pc software as in it doesnt jump twice or the swash doesnt react to movement

i did manage to bind it and set it up through the pc software,just when i get to the end it gets stuck on the initialiseing page again

thanks for looking

The sensor must be plugged in to the sensor port only - nowhere else as it can be damaged!
It needs to be plugged in the right way around too. The case has markings on it to show which coloured lead of the sensor should be plugged in to each side of the port.

If it is connected correctly to the right port and there are no lights illuminating on the sensor when you power the vbar up, it sounds to me like you might have fried it?

Yikes!
Cheers,
Rob

I am a VBar newbie and had a few problems. It's all in the software, just finding it and understanding it is a problem. Take your PC with you, virtually everything has to be done in the software, hardly any tranny functions as I see it. It gets a pain in the end, plug in, change, test fly, plug in, change, test fly.......

I have just got a Blue Tooth dongle and about to try Android software from my phone if I can manage.

'Coolice' on here can make you a very professional Blue Tooth Dongle for the VBar and for a very good price with excellent service.
