Brain software available

[Guest]

Just found this: http://update.mshbrain.com/software/BRAINSTALLER.msi

Has a demo mode, very interesting...

[nitros]

I'm at work, how is it compare to vbar?

[Guest]

I can't compare them (don't have vbar), but it has a basic mode (supposed to be enough for most people and get you 95% of the way there) and an advanced mode that's full of twiddlables for the field. I like that the auto-levelling thing is calibrated during setup rather than each time on power-up.

It prompts some interesting questions though - I'm a bit stumped wondering which part to buy for the governor sensor, and a couple of the settings were a bit ambiguous. Probably much more straightforward when it's not in demo mode (I hope).

All of the first images are the the demo wizard the last image is one shot from the advance menu. Not sure how final this version of software is? Also RC Hero are taking pre orders!

I've had my eye on this for quite a while.

Looking forward to giving it a try at somepoint.

Do you have to have a pc to set it up or change parameters?

From what I've been reading, I guess so, but it's a HID device so no driver needed and makes it all the easier for a (hopefully forthcoming) Android app.. there are some good threads on HF where such things are discussed a bit (well you know, 5% data 95% opinions, I love forums )

I believe so, like the v bar, but you can set the 3 flight modes, which as I understood are like the banks in the v bar. In one of the mode you can activate the self levelling option which will make the Heli like a fix pitch one. That's what they said

That's a bit of a pain, as I don't have a laptop, just an old pc (i use an ipad). So I could get to the field and if there is a problem I can't fly.

I do agree with you, I got the very same issue with the v bar, my only hope is if the brain is easy to set up I might not need the pc every time

Installed and had a quick run through before the unit gets here next week. Now does it go on the 600efl or the X7....think it will be the 600 as it will cost less if it all goes south. Does anyone know if the gov will work with CC ESC?

Sharpedge, why not try it in the Goblin, its what Bert K has it on, then you can tell me what to set mine for lol!

[Sharpedge]

You know I might just do that as I have been having a little trouble with the tail and could rule out one bit of hardware. It is also much easier to install on the goblin as I use double velcro straps to secure the unit to the side of the electronics side frame. Bugger just remembered that this does not have a separate sensor, looks like I'm going to have to break out the gyro tray.

Having a few teething troubles with mine too, tail not rock solid and pyro's are all over the place, using beastx and the gyro tray, would like a 'brain' for the flip back to right side up function as my inverted circuits are dodgy at best. Will be following your progress Good Luck mate, some video would be great too if your setup for it.

it is very dodgy to rely on this auto level function. if you can't get out of flying backwards then go higher and learn that way. self levelling does ofcourse have a place but please do not think ach it will recover itself and fly low-won't happen.

cheers
