DSX9 Gyro Menu And Beast?

Hi all,

This is the last question I have about setting up my Beast!


On the DSX9, the "Gear" channel is linked to the "Gov" menu... And "AUX2" is linked to the "Gyro" menu... Now, I've got the Beast gyro gain wire plugged into the "AUX2" channel on my RX... Just like it was with the Spartan on.... For some reason, I can't get the Beast out of HH mode!?? I've set all the gain values in the gyro menu to 0 and it's still in HH! I've also tried using the "Gov" menu through the gear channel.. Nothing! I just can't get it out of HH or adjust the gain at all!

Have I missed someone during set-up?? I've gone over it about 5 times and it's still not working! So can anyone help me with this please?? It's all I've got left to do before it's test flight!!

Cheers,
Shaun.

use end points mate its so much easier gyro menus suck ! you should see the lights move on the beast its self when you flick between modes

I've set up 3 beastx heli's with my DSX9 & used aux2 on the rx for the gyro, TX 'gear switch' back its in HH & on its in rate mod so can only think its something to do with your setup.
One other suggestion that comes to mind DSX9 has side pitch trims you need to 'inh' them with the beastx.

You need to INH those with "ALL" helis Jim. Fact.

I've done that.. Was working fine through AUX2 with my Spartan? I'll have a look when I get home!

What happens if you set the gain value to 100? Is it in rate mode then?

Remember with the DSX9, 50 is the mid way point, so is gyro 'off' with no gain at all. I'm not familiar with the Beast, but maybe it's just the opposite way round to the Spartan, which I am familiar with.

The Spartan is in HH mode from 50 up to 100. Maybe the Beast is in HH mode from 50 down to zero?

Do you not need a negative value for one (I think this was rate on my set up) and a positive value for the other ??

No, when using the DSX9 gyro sens function, the range is from zero to 100, so the mid point value (i.e. gyro off) is 50.

50 up to 100 is one way, and 50 down to zero is the other way.

On other transmitters, the rage is from -100 to +100, so the mid point is zero.

Aplogies, I mis read the post, I'm talking about the DX8. Only ever used the end points of the channel on my old DSX9, never bothered with the gyro sense function.

Mine is set exactly the way you describe through the gear channel and works perfectly 50% and above blue light on 49% light goes purple...

[Steve]

never bothered with the gyro sense function.

The gyro sens function is the 'right tool for the job' on this Tx. I use it all the time on all my helis as I like to have different gain values in each flight mode for different types of flying, and I use all 6 flight modes as well.

Also use the governor function as well for the same reason.

The only heli where I don't use it is the Beam as it has a 6 ch receiver so have to use the gear channel to control the gain.

[Bart101]

Right, I've just tried in on the "Gear" channel using endpoints... Nothing, the light will not change from blue! I unplugged the "Gain" wire and it was still blue! I must be doing something wrong!!
