  • Can't access Gyro settings mode

    I can't seem to access the Gyro on my 130X

    I have an issue where the tail servo is sticking but with the motor disconnected and the throttle up on my dx8 the cyclic sevos just go one side and stay there. The tail doesn't move. I wanted to try a reset but cant seem to get into the settings mode.

    Have been following these instructions:

    3-Axis Gyro Menu

    To Enter Programming Mode
    1. TX on
    throttle set to high (100%)
    2. Plug the flight battery into the
    helicopter.
    3. The Status LED will go solid blue, then there will be a
    sequence of Red, Green, and Blue Flashing LED’s
    4. The RED LED will now be
    solid and the status LED will be flashing.

    To change between axis use
    the Elevator stick.

    Red LED = Elevator
    Green LED = Aileron
    Blue
    LED = Rudder

    To change the gain value use the Aileron
    stick

    There are ten steps available in either direction, total of 20 gain
    values for each axis.
    The highest and lowest values are not high enough or
    low enough to cause not to be flyable. It adjusts the gain in a window we
    determined was useful to the consumer.

    Right Aileron increases the gain,
    the LED lights will start flashing faster.
    Left Aileron decreases the gain,
    the LED lights will start flashing slower.

    When the Axis LED is solid
    that is default value (neutral gain).

    To reset the settings to
    default

    Hold right rudder for 5 seconds while in programming mode, there
    will be a sequence of Red, Green and Blue flashing LED’s to signify the default
    settings have been applied.
    Rudder value must be at 100% travel for this to
    occur.

    To exit the menu.
    Simply just unplug the battery. Set
    the throttle to low throttle or throttle hold and re-plug in the battery.


    Any suggestions?
    Cheers

    You may have already tried this. If you are trying this in normal mode is your throttle actually at 100% at full high stick?

    Just worth checking. On my dx7 I can go into the settings and see the readings 100 in 100 out as the indicator line on the display moves with the throttle stick movement. Or do you have any travel adjusts on or some subtrim not allowing your throttle to reach 100% at full stick?

    May be worth check this over one time to make sure. Failing that I'm not sure.

      On the DX8 you need to change default throttle curve settings in normal mode from 75% to 100% and disable the throttle warning!
      Just remember to put the settings back when you're done

          I had a sticky tail servo tonight, gave it a quick clean with an air duster and a drop of lube, now working smooth again.
          No disassembly req'd.

            Make a video of the servo misbehaving. Then phone and email HH. Send them the link to be video. They will send you out a new servo. Fit the new one when it arrives. Take the old one apart afterwards and clean it. There are some videos on YouTube showing the process on MCPX servos, which are pretty similar in construction. Keep the old one as a spare for later. Also check the servo wires for any badly soldered joints.

            If your feeling brave you could fit a rotary servo instead of the eflight linear servo. I've heard guys are having success with the ds35 super sub micro servo.
