Lead for transmitter

[Tommy_G]

Hello everyone. I am new on here and new to Heli-x. I am english and can speak/read basic german. So even if you reply in German that will be great.

I have a walkera transmitter and a usb lead, but this does not seem to be recognised by Heli-x. Am i right in thinking I need a cable that converts the PPM signal to a Joystick interface??? Such as this Hitec cable: http://www.heliguy.com/Extras/Radio-Tra ... ace-Cable/

Or are there any ways to get my usb lead to work. I believe it is one that is supposed to work with FMS. But my mac wont recognise it.

Vielen Dank

Hi Tommy,

is that USB device listed in the system profiler of OS X (Apple menu, about this Mac, More info, then select HW->USB on the left pane to get a representation of the USB device tree)?

[Tommy_G]

Hi Joerg,

Yes it appears in the USB tree. Here is a picture.

It recognises it at the start up of Heli-x, but doesn't do anything in the controller configuration?!??

Did you do a calibration? Left top button in the configuration window for the controller ...

Yeah i did the calibration. Moved sticks as asked but the corresponding bars did not move??!

Helo Tommy,

do you know the "Gamepad and Joystick tester" for Mac ?

There you can see, if the system regonize the transmitter.
If you move the sticks, you see the corresponding values received from the os.

greetings

Hello =]

Yeah i tried that program. This dialogue came up. But no change to numbers when sticks are moved ?!?

Im not really sure what else I can do. I tried the lead on a pc. Seems to work fine and the signal from the transmitter reaches the computer fine. So im not sure why it wont work on the mac, especially as it recognises it.

Thanks once again

Tom

Hi,

the recognition of the hardware on a PC (or MAC) depends only on the interface, not on the transmitter. So it might be, that the interface works, but the connection to the transmitter has problems. Wrong plug, cable defect, wrong programming at the transmitter etc.

Uhm - is there any (DIP) switch you need to throw when you use a Walkera TX on a sim cable? I don't use one (for simulation), so I don't really know?

[Tommy_G]

Well it seems to work ok on a PC as is! Would I need to change dip switch settings for mac?
