BEASTX Micro Settings
This tool allows you to set the following additional functions:
So concerned are point H in the setup menu (swashplate setting) and point F in the parameter menu (RevoMix).
The values can then be activated by selecting "LED off" at the specified adjustment point retaining the other presets and it can always be switched between the software created values and the presets.
Installation instructions:
Install the file SetupMicroSettings.msi (<- right click - Save target as ..) as usual on your computer. After installation you can start the software by clicking the icon "BEASTX Micro Settings" on your desktop.
The software assumes that the driver for the USB2SYS interface is correctly installed on the system. This driver comes with the update software. So before use install the update software respectively install the included interface drivers there. You also need to know the COM port the interface uses to communicate with the computer. For more information, please see: http://www.beastx.com/showthread.php...r-Step-by-Step especially Step 4.
Usage of the software:
Plug the USB2SYS interface into a USB port of your PC. Connect the interface with the SYS-port of the Microbeast. Turn on transmitter and receiver and make sure that when using an electric model the engine can not start accidentally. Now select in the most top button the COM port that the USB2SYS interface is assigned to and press "Connect" if applicable . Now your Microbeast's data appears in the upper third. Note that BEASTX Micro Settings only is compatible with firmware version 2.0.0 and above!
The lower pane displays the adjustable settings for the two points H and F. There in the upper right corner of each you can see if using these values has already been activated (set to "LED off") in the Microbeast. In this case it says "Enabled ". If you have not already done so you can rectify this now by clicking on "Enable this setting". This is not absolutely necessary but so you can see immediately the effect of changing the settings in the software. The settings can also be performed and saved without activating their usage in the Microbeast unit.
The values can be typed in directly or can be increased or decreased ny using the arrows. In the bottom left status bar it is displayed if a value is written to the Microbeast - "Written successfully".
Note: While the Microbeast is connected to the software you can not make any adjustments at the Microbeast by hand! The button is locked during this time. If before the connection you entered one of the menus this will be automatically exited. The setting of the point at which you are currently will not be stored if it has been changed recently!
Since the menu items are self explanatory here just a few short notes:
To the scale pilots: It is assumed that the helicopter was adjusted according to the instructions and collective pitch center stick position corresponded to 0° pitch during the setup procedure! A subsequent change of the pitch curve then represents no problem but if from the beginning instead of 0° the adjustment has been done with hovering pitch the RevoMIX can not be used because it assumes that 1500μs pulse on the collective corresponds to 0° of pitch.
This tool allows you to set the following additional functions:
- virtual swashplate phasing for scale models with multiblade rotorheads
- torque pre compensation of the tail rotor system (RevoMIX)
So concerned are point H in the setup menu (swashplate setting) and point F in the parameter menu (RevoMix).
The values can then be activated by selecting "LED off" at the specified adjustment point retaining the other presets and it can always be switched between the software created values and the presets.

Since the menu items are self explanatory here just a few short notes:
- When using the RevoMIX the tail rotor must compensate load of the main rotor system. So on a helicopter with clockwise turning main rotor therefore if you enter pitch (both positive and negative!) the tail rotor must turn to the right. This also applies to cyclic movements of roll and pitch independently of the direction. Whenever torque is built up the tail rotor must compensate with anti torque. At 0° pitch of the tail rotor makes the least deflection.
- Experience has shown that a ratio of 1:2 between cyclic and collective pitch is a good guide. For example 15 cyclic and 30 collective Pitch. Then slowly increase to the optimum values. This presupposes that the tail rotor (sensitivity and heading lock proportion) are were adjusted to the optimum extent before. The RevoMIX is only an aid to improve the performance of the tail gyro for example when the tail rotor system is slightly undersized but not to conceal a poor control at all (if without RevoMix when giving pitch the tail turns away desperately you should check the mechanics and tail gyro adjustment instead of trying to compensate with an extremely high RevoMIX value).
- Asymmetry is a compensation function if the rudder moves unequally in both directions (there are no negative values since the value depends also on the setting for the main rotor torque). Under normal circumstances it should not be necessary to use this - default is 0.
To the scale pilots: It is assumed that the helicopter was adjusted according to the instructions and collective pitch center stick position corresponded to 0° pitch during the setup procedure! A subsequent change of the pitch curve then represents no problem but if from the beginning instead of 0° the adjustment has been done with hovering pitch the RevoMIX can not be used because it assumes that 1500μs pulse on the collective corresponds to 0° of pitch.
