PROGRAM CARD OPERATING MANUAL Program card works with variety of products via wireless or wired connections. AFHDS 2A long range reciever (P274) AFHDS 2A Mini (P275) RTH flight stabiliser based on iNav (P315) All V2.
4250 mv to 4000 mv – three bars 4000 mv to 3800 mv – two bars 3800 mv to 3600 mv – one bar 3600 mv – empty 3500 mv to 3300 mv the empty logo blinks Controls. Sliding navigator UP moves menu marker to left, Sliding navigator DOWN moves menu marker to the right. Enter submenu – click navigation dial once. Exit from submenu – navigator dial up from the most top item of the submenu. If some settings were changed the window prompting to change settings will appear upon exit.
The card recognizes the device, reads settings and firmware version. After this the device is ready for configuration using Program card menus. For wired connection (not bridge): The card enters the bridge mode automatically when it reads that the device is in bootloader mode. Bridge mode can also be entered by turning Program Card “USB-UART enable” option on in system menu. System menu can be accessed by press and hold the navi slider UP while turning the card ON.
FIRMWARE UPDATE Program Card Firmware update is done via DFU mode selected in System Menu. For this enter System menu, go to Update section and activate(select) reboot to DFU item . There will be warning that the card will be restarted. Select YES and the screen will turn OFF.
R620X-R1220X V3 RECEIVERS How to connect: Enter the Rx binding mode (bind plug or autobind) and while Rx is in bind mode turn Programming card ON. There will be following set of menus: 1. Output type: Serial output type on the bind pin – cPPM or s.Bus 2. Telemetry type: Telemetry type options for R620…R1220: - None – no telemetry - Analog Voltage, current, RPM, Temperature are collected from TM connectors of the receiver. Please read the R620x-R1220x manual to see how to connect telemetry sensors.
3. Autobind settings: In autobind settings user can set the time when the receiver enters autobind mode if no signal from already known (bound) transmitter is available. Available settings: - Autobind OFF – Receiver never enters autobind mode. To avoid accidental binding with transmitter nearby please use this mode when possible. - Autobind 30 (60, 120)sec. – select timeout when receiver will enter an autobind mode. Please use this mode carefully.
5. Channels` values output. Program Card acts when works with devices acts as Transmitter and controls outputs of the Receiver. In this mode you can set values on the each servo output. This is very useful for mechanical setup of planes for example. Also, these current values will be used in Fail Safe settings if chosen “set current”. See Fail safe settings section for details. 6. Device info. This menu item displays an info about the receiver.
ORX SERIAL RECEIVER (P263). How to bind: Press and hold bind button and power the receiver ON. If autobind is set ON then apply power to the receiver and wait for the receiver to start binding procedure automatically. and while Rx is in bind mode turn Programming card ON. There will be following set of menus: 1. Output type: Output serial protocols: - cPPM – 9 channels, pause 300us, frame 22.
TELEMETRY SETTINGS. None – No telemetry transmitted from the receiver. Analog –analog inputs for the sensors are used MSP – telemetry data is taken from a flight control board (Betaflight, iNav, APM etc. ) using UART connection with Flight control and MSP protocol. (main battery voltage, current, battery usage in mAh, acceleration, GPS coordinates and speed) Note: In MSP mode also a transfer of control channels data from Tx to flight control is available.
already known (bound) transmitter is available. Available settings: - Autobind OFF – Receiver never enters autobind mode. To avoid accidental binding with transmitter nearby please use this mode when possible. - Autobind 30 (60, 120)sec. – select timeout when receiver will enter an autobind mode. Please use this mode carefully. In autobind mode receiver blinks red LED indicating this mode before it enters binding MSP SETTINGS.
- set current – remember the values currently coming from the Program Card. This option is used in conjunction with Channels Menu. In channels menu you can set desirable values for your fail safe. After this you can go to FailSafe menu and choose “set current”. The card will ask to store values. After confirmation the values that currently set in Channels menu will be stored as Fail Save values. 5. Channels` values output.
ORX 2 SERVO STABILIZER (P311). Apply power to the device and wait for the receiver to start binding procedure automatically. While Rx is in bind mode turn Programming card ON. PID settings tab . Stabilizer settings tab. Beginner sens – sensitivity in «Beginner» mode Advance sens – sensitivity in «Advanced» mode Stick param – how far the aileron/Elevator stick need to move to disable autolevel in «Advanced» mode. It allows to make loops and rolls in this mode.
Flight settings: Angle not ARM(deg) – if the plane is tilt/pan on the ground more than the angle set, the ESC will not arm. Angle envelop (deg) – limitation of maximum tilt/pan angle in beginner mode FailSafe thr – Throttle level in fail safe mode (Set in seconds in FS off delay) , in mS. FS off delay – delay of FailSafe since the connection lost, in seconds. Servo setitings. Servo – Servo channel name, (Ail, Elev) – choose servo channel here. Min – Servo limit MIN. Mid – Middle servo position.
Flight modes assignment on channels ARM – АРМ. If «--» chosen than arming can be performed by moving Rudder stick to the far left position while throttle is at MIN. Beginner – control channel for «Beginner» mode selection Advanced – control channel for «Advanced» mode selection Pass Thru – passtrough mode – dtabilizer is disabled completely, Radio sticks control servos directly, endpoints are functional. Note: If stab modes chosen as «--» then the mode is «PRO».
Accelerometer calibration (for autoleveling). Level model on the ground the way that it should fly leveled during the flight. Activate calibration. The stabilizer will remember the model orientation for horizontal flight. Please note: Calibrating will temporary lose connection of the stabilizer with programming card. During the calibration the model should stay still and leveled.
Info tab ORX 4 SERVO STABILIZER (P322).”GEORGE” 1. Page 1 of PID settings. Click the roller wheel to enter the menu You can chose the axis to change – ROLL, PITCH, YAW . Step on the axis whose parameters you want to edit. Click Enter again. Now you can navigate between P, I and D parameters. Click enter again. The edited parameter will start blinking. Use roller to change the value. When value is changed press Enter again and exit the value changing mode.
the flight control to save. Note: when some parameters are changed but not saved yet, the info string appears: “param chng” telling you that parameters are changed but still not stored in flight control. 2 Page 2 of PID settings. Beginner sens – sensitivity for Beginner mode. If sensitivity is too high the model can start oscillating. Lower sensitivity in this case. Advance sens – sensitivity for Advanced mode. If sensitivity is too high the model can start oscillating. Lower sensitivity in this case.
3 Page 3 Flight setup. Angle not ARM prevents ESC to arm if the model is tilted beyond set angle to the horizon (in degrees) Angle envelop – limits the maximum angle of bank and tilt in Beginner mode to the horizon (in degrees). FailSafe thr – Throttle level in FailSafe situation(signal loss).Acceptable values are 1000us...2000us. Keep it low to stop the motor in signal loss event(about 1000-1100us). FS off delay – delay to turn motor off in Fail Safe.
5 Page 5. Assignment Flight Modes to channels. ARM – Channel to set for ESC arming. If chosen «--» arming will be performed by rudder stick moved left when the throttle is in lowest position. To disarm the motor with you will need to bring the throttle down and move the rudder stick right.
Min thr – Minimum throttle for ESC when the throttle stick is low Max thr – Maximum throttle for ESC when the throttle stick is high Min command – Minimum throttle for ESC during initial calibration on start. Please note: If the model type is changed, all previous settings will be erased and set to default values. You will need to set them again according to your needs. 7 Page 7. Accelerometer calibration To calibrate an accelerometer: 1.
8. Page 8. Channels’ inputs. Program Card can act as Transmitter when it works with the stabilizer. In this mode Program Card outputs channel values to the receiver imitating transmitter. In this mode you can change these values as if you would do this using. You can set values on the each servo output. This is very useful for mechanical setup of planes for example. 9. Page 9.
