Up to 16 independent servo channels (24 all together) can be stabilized using a servo distribution box, with up to 7 channels using one serial input, and up to 6 channels using the supplied cable loom. These channels are simply run through the CORTEXpro. If the number of channels is not sufficient, unidirectional servos, e.g.
Now connect the servos to the CORTEXpro’s output ports 1-6. The same assignment applies as for the input side. Cable 1 on the receiver corresponds to output 1 on the CORTEXpro, etc. The channels are intentionally marked by numbers only, you are free to assign them as desired.
( ! ) Even if the servos are running correctly, do not fly before the setup of the CORTEXpro and gyro directional test are completed! Incorrect gyro orientation will almost certainly result in a crash!
( ! ) For setup, the transmitter must already be programmed ready for flight, so that the model could be flown, or has already been flying without the CORTEXpro. Servo directions, possible mixers, throws, etc., as well as correct trim settings for normal flight, must have already been set up correctly.
FLIGHT OPERATION Start the CORTEXpro in normal operation mode, without the jumper connected. The LED will flash for the first few seconds and indicates the system’s successful initialization. The model must not be moved during this process, otherwise, the stabilization will remain inactive (device flashes red constantly), until power-cycled again.
GYRO CHANNEL / ACTIVATING THE GYRO For the first flight, and to facilitate in-flight tuning, it should be possible to adjust the gyro channel, and therefore the gyro sensitivity in flight, in order to find the optimum setting quickly, or to reduce it immediately if needed, e.g.
If oscillation occurs, reduce sensitivity by 5-10%. Test the setting at high speed first, as in this situ- ation, the control reaction will be strongest, and therefore the tendency to oscillation is increased. Under normal conditions, the gyro will produce an effect similar to expo. Therefore reduce the expo-setting or switch it off completely.
FAILSAFE For every single channel run through the system, no matter if stabilized or not, a failsafe value can be defined. To use this option, set all transmitter channels to the desired values, followed by a click on the button ‚learn failsafe values‘. Done. Note: The internal failsafe will only be activated, if there is no „proper“...
