Gear ratio setup

[Adsmalan]

I am in the middle of setting up my Beastx using studiox. The manual describes set up using the coloured lights but does not describe how to do it using studio. Studiox gives you a three digit choice so how do I enter a ratio of 8.5:1? I am assuming it would be 850 but I am unsure can anyone help?

Hi I would doubt it’s 850, can you post a screen shot. The ratio you have above is 8.5 turns to 1. A governor needs this info for setting the correct headspeed so it’s important to get it right. You don’t need the gov on day 1 so you could turn it off and just use a flat throttle curve. Post details of heli, motor and batteries.

What about setting it up with those infernal blinky LED lights. Once done go into Studio and see when it's reading?

If I had to guess, based on the assumption that you can't enter a decimal point and the fact that some helis have ratios of 10:1 or greater (so the input needs to allow for that).. 8.5:1 would almost certainly be '085'. That way you could still enter (say) 10.2:1 as '102'.

Okay, I had thought about your suggestion so I looked into this tonight. In studiox the digit parameters start from a low of 700 up to a high of 1495. Apologies for misleading by stating three digits initially but that is what I think mine works out too. I set 1495 in studio then did the blinky light setup so I could see if it changed afterwards. In the blinky light setup I set it to 8 and then .50 as I read somewhere that .5 to two decimal places is .50 (my maths is crap). Going back into studiox the digits had changed to 850 so I hope this is correct, I had contacted Beastx for clarification but for some reason they have not responded to my last two queries.

For your example of 10.2:1 with 2 being .20 studio would show 1020. I just wish Beastx would give an example to prevent confusion, other than that studiox is fairly intuitive certainly easier than the blinky light setup.
