4 PowerBox-Systems − World Leaders in RC Power Supply Systems
2. INITIAL STEPS
a) Switching on
The CORE is switched on by holding the
-button pressed in until it lights up red. Release the button briey, then
conrm the power-on process by briey pressing the button a second time. The transmitter is switched off in
exactly the same way. The button changes to green when the Linux system has booted; this process takes about
25 seconds.
Once the CORE is running, you will see the Home display on the screen: this shows elds containing telemetry
values, timers, servo positions or quick-select buttons for menus. These elds are known as widgets.
Note: the CORE is tted with a fully redundant power supply system, which is deliberately kept separate from
the Linux computer and the other processors. This means than any malfunctions in the complex Linux sys-
tem cannot possibly result in the transmitter switching itself off. The two real-time processors also function
completely independently of the Linux computer.
b) Entering the menu
The main menu is accessed by swiping a nger downwards from the top edge. You can now touch the left-hand
menu symbol:
There is no need to press rmly, as the capacitive touch-screen simply responds to touch, like all modern smart-
phones.
The symbols in the Main menu are arranged in order of importance.
