Turnigy 9X V2 TX - 3 stage flaps

hi this is great now how would i add retact landing gears ?

Ok finally I have found a forum that has some light on my flap problem.

I have followed Ian's suggestion to the 'T' and I still can't get it to work with the 3 position switch. When I use the Aux channels to work the flaps it still isn't being controlled by the 3 position switch. The flaps just move with all the trim knobs instead. For some reason no matter what I do I can't get the three position switch to work like it is supposed to. Before I found about the mixing settings I used the Airbrake setting and I got it to work but with only one position on the switch. The middle position. The top and bottom raised the flaps back to neutral.

Is there a problem with my radio or a problem with the programmer?    

Hi Bart64,

Remember you must use a 8ch rx with the program I posted and to activate the appropriate channels as per my instructions. I have 3 stage flaps as well as landing gear on my bonanza so it is doeable. Perhaps to get you going just use the servo position screen on the tx and program as per my earlier instructions and watch channel 7 servo position to see what is happening. You may have to change the dnrate number in my program to suit your servos.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Ian

Need help program the 9x(v2) using an 8ch RX for ailerons/flaps and only using flaps for take off   any help   can email @ clay@thebalsastore.com

Hey VJ, long time no hear! While I have switched to the ER9X firmware, I think I can remember some things about the stock version. As for what the different mix functions are:

"state" refers to whether or not the mix is turned on, or "active"
"master" refers to the channel that is going to "control" the slave channel
"slave" refers to the channel being controlled by the master
"offset" refers to the applied difference from master to slave
"uprate/downrate" refers to percentage of the master channel, applied to the slave channel(you can have different percentages for both directions of the servo, or whatever you are controlling)
"sw" refers to the 3 position switch's position to activate the mix, or plain on or off

The sub menu for "Master" refers to which channel you want to use as the master (the slave channel will "follow" the master, and can be made to work opposite, or at a percentage of the master by by adjusting the positive/negative percentages of the mix(uprate/downrate), and the offset)


The "SW" sub menu refers to the position of the 3-position switch, or on/off. If I recall, "normal" is all the way up, "ID1" is middle, and "ID2" is all the way down( I may be wrong, but its easy to check).


To get the 3-postion switch to work the way you want it to, you will need to first "turn on", an unused channel, by assigning it to a switch (I'm guessing you still have channel 8 available).
Next, got to the mix menu and create a mix choosing "act" as the state, channel 8 as the "master", channel 6 as the "slave". The next setting to adjust will be "downrate", the tricky part is whether or not your servos will need positive, or negative. Start will a low number(10 maybe), and set the "sw" option to "ID1".
Now would be a good time to fire up your plane, and test the mix. Flip the switch to the middle position, and verify the flaps are moving, and in the correct direction. If not, reverse channel 8. Once you have got it correct, head back to the mix menu(after powering down the plane, of course)

You will need to adjust the downrate, on the mix you just created to get the desired amount of flap deflection for the middle, or "half" position.
Next, create a new mix, same as the last, except the downrate will be set to the desired "full flaps" percentage, and the "sw" option will be "ID2".
I would refrain from using a dial as an option, when assigning channel 8 as the dial can get moved without you knowing, and cause some grief. As a note, if you happen to flip the switch you assign channel 8 to, the flaps will try to work in reverse, so....DON'T DO THAT!

To the best of my recollection, this should work but feel free to hit me up if any issues.
