what have i done wrong?

[cyclopops]

Hi
i have just setup my beastX on a trex 500, but the tail doesnt operate properly.
first off when i first plug my battery in the status light stays on purple even though i have HH mode ON with a TX, flicking the switch makes no difference, gain in my TX is set to 70, and normal set to 30.
if i move my tail stick the tail moves correctly, but wont hold position as per normal mode.
if i give positive to gain height, it moves the tail also.

so what have i missed?
(also posted on helifreak what have i done wrong? - HeliFreak,
and Beastx what have i done wrong? )

thanks
Mark

have you plugged the gain wire into the right channel

ok i seem to have sorted the tail moving with collective, i had mistakenly left on mixing (must not have saved the profile first as i had turned it off)
but i have another problem now, after powering on i get the blue led showing HH is on, but i cannot turn it off (not a biggy as i usually leave it on) but to get it this way i have had to turn the brown wire opposite to the others to the back of the RX where the others are at the front pointing towards the RX wires.
if i turn it round so they are all pointing towards the RX wires then it stays in normal mode, no matter which gain on the TX i use it changes nothing.

If you mean you've plugged the gain wire into the -ve port IE upside down then I'm not surprised it's not working. The gain for the tail needs to be in channel 5 normally or wherever you have it assigned to and it needs to be on the signal pin. You can't have the channel set correctly if it's not working.

it is in chnl 5, I was just trying both ways to see what would happen, as soon as I get chance I will do a reset, and do it all again.

[cyclopops]

i have re set it up, and still the same regarding HH mode. any ideas?

[waveydavey]

Are you using the gyro function or the end points on the gear channel.

panic over, went through all my menus yet again, and noticed one thing.
i had not activated in the gyro menu on my TX the gain chnl.

such an easything to miss had me scratching my head all day.
