DEVO 7 How too issue

HI all,

I have a Devo 7 and 10 but will ask how on 7 and should work on 10 also so here goes. I have failsafe armed to my gear sw. I need to know how to arm failsafe when transmitter is turned off or copter goes out of range?

Equipment:

Devo 7
RX802 Receiver
Quadcopter X-830
SuperX FC system

All functions work fine including manual failsafe but if I turn off transmitter to test loss of signal failsafe copter does not recognise loss of signal (doesn't go to failsafe).

Thanks in advance for any assistance on this issue.

P.S. If you know the settings common for quadcopter ie.. elev,aero,rudder,etc...throttle for failsafe settings in transmitter that would be great too.

Cheers

I am grasping at straws for an answer since I have already hit all the normal forums. Answer is no I am not using deviation software. I have both a straight Devo 7 and a Devo 10 unit. The reason I hit this forum is because you guys know the inner workings of the Devo radios. I cant think of a more knowledgeable forum for an answer to this issue.

Hi ,

Ok, yes when I manually hit the gear switch that I have setup for failsafe that is correct that the copter goes into failsafe mode. But this is not occurring on copter when I shut off transmitter. Copter RX802 does not seem to recognize that it has lost the transmit signal and put copter into failsafe mode. I have even tried binding in failsafe to make RX802 recognise failsafe and that does not work either. I really am not sure what I am doing wrong. The Devo 7 in par.3.18 talks about the failsafe but does not get into the real data needed to set failsafe for loss of signal with wording that makes any real sense. If you get my drift. It is more about the fix id than real failsafe signal loss.


Thanks for assistance I will try some other sources and see if I can find the answer.

Cheers
