Spartan DS760 gyros

[philiphenderson]

You'll need the bluetooth module for the DS760, a bluetooth enabled PocketPC and the DS760 PocketPC software.

This setup will give you the ability to fine-tune your gyro's setup anywhere.

just to add, you can use a bluetooth laptop aswell ofcourse.

i have one and it is used more than i thought i would use it. i use it to setup my models while on their shelves....also when flying ofcourse. (with engine stopped as per the directions ofcourse)

So if you buy the Sport version and then do the upgrade, is there actually any difference at all from having the full spec and more expensive DS760?

[robgt]

No.

Cheers,

The 'Sport' model is about the same price as the DS760 was before it went out of stock, whereas the full DS760 has gone up in price.

So with the free upgrade, we're effectively being offered a 'price hold'.

why don't they bring out the bluetooth option and software to work on an iphone now that would be handy

If they only had a proper Bluetooth stack on the iPhone instead of headset only

[robgt]

They have just limited what it can be used for... for stupid unknown apple type reasons!!

Many bluetooth profiles available - apple have implemented just 2.

I was just about to order a GY401,am I to think this would be a better investment for the future, and also have a dramatic effect over the standard blade gyro.

401 is easier to set up but spartan once set up properly gives better performance. Either should be a vast improvement over the standard one.

Sport ordered from Fast Lads Just need the Atom to stick it to now!

[raptorheli2]

the reason the spartan won't work with the iphone is because of apple, simple. someone has tried to develop one but as of yet no one has found a way to get full bluetooth on the iphone. people buy apple but they severely limit all their products to stop piracy of music. that is the real reason you can't do it. it is physically capable of it but is limited apparently.

in mean time my phone works with it :-)

I'm quite happy using my USB link at home or the field via laptop and having a top quality phone in my pocket rather than the blue link that I'd probably lose and a shite windows mobile phone crashing in my pocket

[raptorheli2]

that weird, my phone has never crashed

also i never said the phone i use for the spartan was my regular phone did i

ebay, get yourself an old mda or something and your cooking. also leave it in flightbox and charge it via car socket if need be.

cheers

p.s i was very close to getting an iphone but i bought into android. well happy.
