For example, if Select desired channel. high side is set to 10 percent when the master Move the wheel to modify the delay time. channel is at 100% the slave will move 1/10th of its full range of motion.
6.19 Logic Switches(Pic.23) Select the master, this channel/input will control the slaves output. It is also possible to select A logic switch is a switch that activates whenever stick/knob, basic functions or a channel output. certain conditions are met, for example, a light Select a slave, slaves may only be output could be programmed using a logic switch so that it channels.
FS-l10 Digital proportional radio control system 6.20 Airplane Structure (Pic.24) Airplane structure enables you to set the control surfaces on your model. To add or remove available surfaces first select [Modify] at the bottom right side of the screen, select each control surface available on your model so that a tick is displayed in a box next to the name.
These functions are also known as basic functions, as referred to in the [Trainer Mode], [Curve Mixes], [Function Delay] and [Linear mixes] sections of this user manual. Some functions can apply the function of one control surface to another, for example, the aileron function can apply aileron control to flaps and elevators.
This function allows you to connect 2 transmitters together using a dedicated cable connected to the back of the FS-i10. The FS-i10 that enables the trainer function will become the master, and will be able to override the other FS-i10. Usually this function is used by instructors to teach students how to fly, they can give the student full control but can quickly step in if anything goes wrong.
of the signal. This is measured from -120dBm to -60dBm. The higher up the graph the signal appears the stronger it is, and has a bigger chance of causing interference. Along the bottom of the graph is a solid block of red, this in this case is just background noise. Background noise usually isn’t a problem and a level of background noise can be expected everywhere.
