Receiver Menu
SmoothFlite RRS has the added feature of monitoring the connection between the Receiver and the
transmitter. This can be used to assist in the optimal placement of your receivers during setup.
We will now go through a process of how to check the quality of the connection between your
receiver and your transmitter.
Using the Smart Display, from the
MAIN MENU
tap the
RECEIVER
button. This will take you to the re-
ceiver page.
From the receiver page you can see the receiver
FRAMES
received for each individual receiver, these
indicate good packets of information sent from the receiver to the SmoothFlite or received by the
receiver from the transmitter. You can also see
DROPS
, these are packets have been received by the
Receiver from the transmitter with a mismatched checksum rendering the frame useless.
Note: If the number of DROPS (dropped
frames) is unusually high, it may indicate
there is a problem with that receiver or re-
ceiver placement inside the model.
NOTE: It is quite normal to see these numbers
with values higher than 0 however, if you are
experiencing extremely high drop ratios,
please consult your receiver manufacturer for
more details on receiver placement.
The third column shows
FAILSAFE
(Fail Safe events PER RECEIVER) this value shows the number of failed
-
to
-
send events from a receiver to the SmoothFlite i.e. the SmoothFlite was expecting to receive frames
but the receiver stopped sending them.
If you experience high numbers in FAILSAFE events during ground testing or after landing do not fly
the model until you understand what has caused them.
Powering down the transmitter before powering down the Smart WILL cause the SmoothFlite to
accumulate FAILSAFE events. Please avoid this situation.
PLEASE NOTE FOR A SYSTEM WIDE FAILSAFE EVENT TO HAPPEN ALL RECEIVERS MUST BE IN THE FAIL-
SAFE CONDITION.
Frame Rate
Note: At the bottom of the receiver page you will see 2 buttons. These will take you to the
Frame Rate
page. Frame Rate will allow you to change the output frame rate to your servos. Factory frame rate is
14ms which will work with all high quality digital servos. Before changing this, double check that your
servos will handle the selected frame rate.
Warning: By changing the frame rate, the SmoothFlite matching will be erased and servo reversing
will be reset to default. Please ensure that all servos are not mechanically connected to avoid possi-
ble damage to your model and servos.
