Hoverfly HFP setup

[kloner]

just a couple quick questions to put my mind to rest....

on futaba, every channel is reversed?

is the calibration stuff needed for pro only?

Every channel except the switches if I remember correctly. Check your stick movements on the first screen.

Check it youself dont trust someone else..!!

Connect the PRO to the setup client. Turn transmitter on. Power craft and make sure all of the channels and switches are exhibiting the correct motion.

yea, found that and got everybody happy there.... when i set the endpoint for the main gain to 25 in the tx, i get 41 in the hoverfly interface..... move the 41 to 25 or try it like that?

i set that to a 3 way switch but am realizing i probably want that on a 2 way?

to make the gimble come alive, i gotta hook up that wire rx to hfp?

overall i like it so far just in setup, but it's kinda tricky to get connected. I'll get used to it, just different than my others

Its ok kloner but put 50% on tx... 25 is not good... Also for AL you must put 2 way switch.. For AH you can put 3way switch

i haven't even got to AH yet..... what do the three ways do for that?

Technically you only need a 3-way switch for GPS functions. All other functions should use a 2-way switch. I think PaNT was pointing out that many people use a 3-way switch for AH and it is ok to do so.

Exactly... i have only one 2way switch so for AH i use 3 way switch

dam, now i gotta go fly it....... It's the first time on any of em that always has my nuts sucked up

And I found that the gimbal output doesn't have power - you need a separate BEC feed to the servos

 

[S11D336B]

The gimbal output on the HoverflyPro ties the BEC in your ESCs to the servos meaning you get 5v to your servos only when the main battery is plugged in.

The HoverflyGIMBAL can either be set to two moves. In one mode the incoming voltage is regulated to 5v. In another, the incoming voltage is just passed on raw to the servos. We call this >5v mode and the HoverflyGIMBAL is shipped with this already set.
