Any One Have A Blade CX2 Model

Any One Have A Blade CX2 Model for a Devo 10

It's a 4 channel right? So all you need to do is create a new model and select DSM2 protocol.

The defaults will take care of the rest. If you need to reduce the rates then just ask and we'll help you set that up.

Thanks!

Mine will not Bind.

I just received the CX2. I loaded battery and a model and only changed it to DSM2.

The LED is blinking Red/Green

E-flight 3 in 1 Control Unit - Model EFLH1023 / Mixer Speed Control Gyro System.

Before I go claiming "Defective" what am I missing?

Thanks

Have you tried to bind manually? Switch tx and heli off.
Switch tx on; wait a few second (searching for free frequencies) and go to to model config on the page, where you can change the protocol.
You will see a button labeled with "Bind" in the lower right corner.
Switch on your heli and place it on a stable surface (so that the stabilization can initialize).
Press the "Bind" button.
Does it bind after a few seocnds?
If not: what tells the manual how it should behave? Esp. which colors should the LEDs show and what does this mean?

OK, I used the bind plug and gaining ground but not there yet. No throttle and reversed controls.

I have a solid red LED which means I have a bind link but the throttle and trim are not at their lowest setting. This must happen before the motors arm.

I did what the manual said to test it moving the sticks and looking at the servo arms for direction of movement and they are reversed.

So..... I need some help in the setup I guess.

Thanks

Well after reading and experimenting I'll say a default DSM2 model is nowhere close to binding and flying my CX2.

I hope someone gets to look into it soon. I purchased it without a TX.

Thanks

Anything toy want me to try just let me know.

Just reverse the 'reversed' channels and make sure Throttle is on channel 1

Thanks, I finally got that going correctly but the throttle may be the last issue.

The book says, "In order for the motors to arm":
Bind by powering the TX (The OE as delivered E-Flight TX)first
"And have the throttle and throttle trim all the way down"
Plug in the battery.

I am trying that but with no success. I still have the solid red LED indicating I have a motor enable issue.
Funny thing is I found my Throttle trim all the way down already. I do not remember doing that.


Here is the .ini. I may have the lower portion not stacked correctly.

Thanks

This doesn't look right. Your throttle is reversed, so no amount of down trim will help.

Thanks, I missed that. To the point of starting again in another model file.

I do not jest when I say "I know not what I do".

I need to ask a couple things. I learn by experimentation and asking here so.......

When the CX2 is bound the LED is green.
So while stroking the throttle I notice it goes to Red and the RPM's top out much before I get to full stick.

So I experiment and find I can spread it out over the full stick movement in the Scale + setting. The Max & Min limits are 150 & -150. The Scale is also +150 -150. Via experimentation I found if I reduced the Scale+ to 35 the RPMs do not top out until the stick tops out. Same for the LED. Did I do well here?

Next I want to ask about having to reverse the Ail and Ele in order to get proper direction. Will this confuse the Gyro? I read about some Walkera helis requiring the Gyro be physically reversed on the Heli also if this is done.

Thanks

I think you would not normally play with Limit+/-, and scaling is used for something called 'travel adjust' which isn't very obvious on THR channel. On a channel controlling a servo you would see limited movement from the servo arm.

In the end it's just a CX2, if you like how it flies then life's good

I don't see any issues. Is the heli flying?

Yes it flies thanks. Not tested much yet. I posted the model. A moderator can delete this thread if he wants.

A video of what the Gyro effects. The gyro only controls yaw on the cx2. Motor speed.
