Blade Inductrix for Devo 7E

Here is my config for the Blade Inductrix on Devo 7E, which is (heavily) based on Daryoon's Nano QX config. HOLD switches acro mode and FMOD changes rate between high and low rate (60%). The perfect quad for learning acro !

Also, there is only a 5 min countdown (reset using L-) and a permanent timer. Quick page is channel monitor.




PS: took me a while to discover that filenames (and icon names) had to be less than 8 characters long.

Thanks for the config and icon. Here is my inductrix ini for Devo7e. hold0=throttle cut, fmode=rates, yaw trim=acro/safe toggle, throttle trim=toggle very low rates for learning acro.

Hi,
i tried the config from ethernode on my modded Devo10 but the Quad doesn't.
There is no throttle on the stick.
When i look in the channels i can see the value of throttle is moving.
I tried the config from mjsnosk8 the can fly, throttle is OK.
So what is wrong? PLZ help me i'am a Devo newbie.
What is the hold0=throttle cut, fmode=rates, yaw trim=acro/safe toggle, throttle trim=toggle very low rates
THX

Try switching between Hold0 (TH=throttle cut) and Hold1.
You need to see -100-0-+100 values changing in Transmitter menu / channel monitor. On TH 0 throttle will be fixed to -100 (off).

To actually be able to start the motors you probably need to do some magic stick movement (see the manual for the correct start sequence). On the 200QX you had to e.g move both sticks on the inner bottom sides at the same time.

Thanks so much for the files (and the icon - so hard to make something that looks like anything with so few black pixels...)

Everything works for me on the Devo 7E, but I have a question about trimming:

Since this is all based on mixers, how do you trim?

My quad tends to drift to one side. Also, I know this is off topic, but is there some calibration mode for the Inductrix other than plugging the battery and quickly placing on a flat surface? For example, on my Hubsan X4 you can place the quad flat and then perform a calibration routine (you wiggle the sticks in a certain order) that reorients the gyros to the new 'flat'. Thanks.

EDIT: I figured out my calibration/trim issue: one of my motors is going bad (or maybe ESC issues?) so when I apply heavy throttle the quad drifts heavily to the side with the bad motor. I assumed it has to do with the mixers inside the Devo and the way the trims are programmed, but it is a motor issue. I will replace the motor as soon as I can get one and continue testing.

I have the same problem with ethernode

My inductrix spin and drift a lot

I must trim a lot for stable (RUD +40 !!!! For exemple), what's wrong with this model file ?

With radio rtf no problem

When using someone elses .ini , dont assume anything. Ive tried shared ini's that had heaps of trim in them as default. Also , shared ini's may have had other tweeks that you dont know about.
Use it as a starting point only. The ini's above may be just fine, but who knows
Also, have you run the calibration on the Transmitter?

The inductrix should just work with a basic 4ch airplane/heli/quad setup. Try that first then look at configuring the switches.
Given a very basic DX5 works on the inductrix, so any eflite/hh/parkzone micro ini should get you in the air.

noob question. do i need a special module or no. and if yes which one?

As far as I know all Blade use DSMX which don't need anything extra (Other than Deviation of course) but I don't have one to test.

ok. cause i cant get mine to bind...

Anyone manage to set the inductrix to do flip?

I have a devo 10, how do I set the acro/stability mode to a switch

Thanks great job!

This is an old post, but it comes up in Google, so I figured I'd respond for others who end up here. I loaded mjsnosk8's ini file, bound to the drone, and the little bugger just corkscrewed to the left. I cranked the trim all the way to the right, and still couldn't compensate -- it was unflyable.

I was trying to figure out how to calibrate the drone when I realized that I hadn't calibrated the TX. It's dead-simple, but if you'd like a video there's one here:



After this I am in awe of how well this thing flies. It makes my X4s feel like flying a bus.

Thank you for the calibration video! Fixed my problems!

Is there a way to swap throttle? When i power up my left stick does nothing while my right stick is my throttle

Thanks, really helped, mine was full trim left but still spinning right, now it's great.

Obviously this thread is oooooold, but I had to log in to say: Thank you so much ethernode!!! My Blade arrived today; so I ran home at lunch, unpacked it, and used your config on my 7e to bind and fly. I was up in the air within 20 seconds! Low rates and high rates are nice and smooth (I'll tweak them a bit to my liking), and acro is impossible because I'm a beginner. I've never flown FPV before, but after about 30 seconds of flying LOS in low rates I was so confident that I went ahead and put on my ev800s and took off. I flew the rest of the battery FPV, all the way to the back of my house and back to me. Woo Hoo!

So anyway, thanks...I'm going to have a HOOT with this thing and this config!

I had the same problem when I first started. (an un-calibrated transmitter) This necessary step should be included in the Getting Started Guide.

I'm trying to figure out how to improve the User Manuals. (who to contact, where to post enhancement ideas) Filing a bug report does not the seem proper thing to do,since (so far) I haven't found any blatant errors, just lots of opportunities to improve them.
