Just so I'm clear-I change the yaw value to X1(can't change to X2). When I do that-I notice that turning the gain knob now controls the value of the yaw channel. However, when I move the yaw stick left and right, those values remain +/- 1000.
Is this correct?
So, while flying, and I turn the VR knob counter-clockwise, the yaw sensitivity should be reduced. Once I'm happy with that value, I can power down-hook everything back up to the PC, check that number-and make that number the INH value for the yaw channel?
You have it pretty much right. You'll have to disable IOC in the assistant if you want to use X2 for this (in addition to or in place of X1). Sounds like your Tx/Rx are configured correctly if you see the gain values change as you adjust the knob. Adjusting that knob while flying will change those gain values in real-time, but not your stick calibration or motion. And yes, once you get stable flight, check the assistant again to see/note what values you ended up with. Then you can map X1 back to the gimbal.
Note, you can change more than one gain value at a time, by assigning multiple gains to X1 or X2 at a time. I usually start by adjusting Pitch/Roll together, and then Yaw separately.
Btw, the first row of gain values adjust the NAZA's internal calculating sensitivity on those axis, the second row adjusts the gain on what your NAZA reads as your control input.
Whachyou talkn bout Willis
Ya lost me there.
Let's see if I understand; the values on the left(+-1000), as I move the stick are the "gain values"-which won't change. The row on the right, that has say 125% Pitch, 125% Roll, ?? Throttle, and 100% yaw, is what Naza reads as my control input value?
And, my defaults are all at 125% except for yaw-which was at 100%. Why 125%??
I already understand, the throttle is not linear-in other words, once you get near the exact center, one notch(Futaba T8J), ramps up the engines more so, than the next notch.....
But, are the Roll/Pitch/Yaw inputs linear? Or, are they "accelerated curves", meaning that at some point on the curve, just like the throttle, pitch, roll or yaw changes more rapidly?
I "spit into the wind", and just made Yaw value 75%....just for grins and giggles. I understand completely your method of fine tuning. But-I'm not ready to be fine tuned-does that make sense?
In other words-my stick skill aren't up to par yet-so a 25% reduction in yaw rate will be noticeable to me-but, won't necessarily get me into too much trouble(I always do a hover control check).
I find that when I move to the VR switch(to tilt my camera), I stop flying the aircraft momentarily-that's not a good thing.
So, to simplify-I'll manually enter the values-as the new fixed value and try that. I'm only 5 minutes from my "flying field".
But, won't be flying anymore Today-winds picked up. And, I remember a few decades ago, being a Student Helicopter Pilot, and cursing anytime I saw the winds at 10mph or more........same thing with the Phanom-I want calm winds!!
One more thing-wouldn't it be more advantageous for the new pilot to set pitch and roll at 100% Vs. 125%?? It is just a tad sensitive right now........
OH, how I wish someone could just tell me the
easy way to program the Futaba T8J, so that when I "flip the B switch down-cut yaw by 50%"
Thanks for the help......old many suffering from brain overload
