Pkeonix and sleepy DX6i.

[Weebl]

In phoenix i had to map throttle hold to channel1 (throttle) and tweak the operating range from 0-100 to 50-100. Also when calibrating i had to add a couple of clicks of negative trim and then reset it after calibrating. I know this sounds vague and not a good explaination but it was a while ago that i used this technique. I would have to set it up again to be able to give you the reasoning for doing things and the exact procedure i used.
Basically what all this ****ing about achieved was to get the throttle hold (internal to phoenix not on the tx) to trigger when the left stick was at its lowest position.

Could you not just flick the TH switch?

That worked for me with no fiddling what so ever?

You don't need to tell Phoenix anything, if you flick the switch the output from the DX6i is whatever you have set on the throttle curve for Throttle Hold. As a default, 0.

This was my understanding of how it should work but for some reason it didnt. I could not understand why it didnt at the time tbh and I am fully conversant with programing of the DX6i.
Out of interest I will have another look when i get a bit of time tho as i may of missed something.
However i will still use acro mode as i like being able to fly planes without having to switch program in the DX6i - call me lazy .

Fair enough. I have mine set in Heli mode but quite happily doodle planes around with the same setup as I use for Helis. Strange how your TH did not work, bit scary really because if it will tell Phoenix to throttle up, would it tell a heli?

I don't have flaps and brakes etc but I too am too lazy to bother

Dont worry tho the DX6i is working fine. My blade 400 works fine with TH and the monitor screen shows the correct opperation of the throttle channel when TH is on. Like I said tis a bit strange why it wasnt working in phoenix.

EDIT:\\

Ive just remembered why I had to do all that fiddling about to get TH to work correctly in Phoenix

TH would work fine when I was in normal mode but not when in idle up.

When in idle up phoenix could not tell the difference between TH and low throttle stick. So when TH was switched on it would set throttle to whatever the bottom end of the throttle curve was set to (which in idle up is 100%) so I forced it to behave in the correct manner by using the throttle hold setting in phoenix and a bit of jiggery pokery.

should also note that i think this is only the case because i use the default throttle curves in phoenix and leave the curves at the defaults in my DX6i

Knew it would come to me eventually (im a bit slow at times :P)
