Think i have just Messed my Gyro up

[callum]

Heya All,

Right, i have an ICG400 Gyro by CSM, and it features this auto setup feature where you toggle the GEAR Switch a couple of times and it responds by wagging the tail a few times then centered, i did it without knowing how to do it fully, Now the Gyro only moves in one direction and hardly any the other way, and i have no idea what to do next,

im going to look on the internet to see if i can hard-reset it to defaults if i can, but this Gyro is meant to be setup from the Tx so there is no controls on the actual unit itself.


regards
callum,

Sounds like you have set the gyro end points wrong thats all mate. Just go through the setup again but properly this time. Move the sticks until the pitch slider gets to its max position without binding at both sides. So it'll be set 1 limit and then toggle the switch then set the next side and toggle the switch.

Two toggles of your gear switch before it's armed - enters setup

Left or right rudder stick selects normal or reverse Gyro direction (orange light)
Toggle gear switch
Servos moves to one end of its travel - adjust its stop point using the rudder stick.
Toggle gear switch
Servo moves to the other end of it's travel, again adjust max travel using the rudder stick.
Toggle gear switch
Two pulses from the servo means it is set. Power down, power up and wait at least 5 seconds and you should be sorted.

Does it matter which way? ive done it so that the orange light it on

It matters a lot! You must select the correct direction or the gyro will sense a movement in one direction and tell the servo to counter it - if it's the wrong way it'll spin like crazy!

Test it on the bench :- With the gyro armed, move the rudder stick to give nose left and note which way the servo moves. Now lift the heli and move it quickly, nose to the right. The response from the tail servo should be the same as for nose left.

Does that make sense
