Dual Video Output Jacks
The dual video out put jacks found on the bottom of the handheld controller allows for
video goggles and a recording device to be plugged in simultaneously. This allows the
operator to see what the cameras are seeing and record at the same time.
Data log Micro-SD Port
The Draganflyer X8 transmitter has the capability of logging data acquired during each
flight. This information is important to be able to diagnose problems that may arise
during flights. In addition the data can be used to track movements of the helicopter and
times and locations
pictures were taken.
To get a data log of a flight a micro-SD card must be installed in the transmitter. The
micro –SD card is installed in the SD slot on the top of the transmitter. When the
transmitter is on and paired with an X8 helicopter which is turned on a data log will
record all interactions between the transmitter and the helicopter. To retrieve the data,
turn off the transmitter and the Draganflyer X8. Remove the micro-SD card from the
transmitter and place it in the micro-SD adapter. Place the adapter with the micro-SD card
in it into an SD card slot on your computer. Upon opening the drive which shows you the
files the data log will be listed as a log.txt file. You can read these files in Microsoft
Excel, or Draganview. Like any other file you may save these files to your computer and
rename them if you wish.
If you are experiencing issues with the Draganflyer X8 these data log files are valuable to
help diagnose problems.
To ensure adequate space on your micro SD card for Log files it is a good
idea to download the flight logs every hundred flights.
Once the SD card is full the controller will allow you to pair
with a helicopter but not fly, the touch screen will appear
frozen. If this occurs turn o
ff
the helicopter and the controller
then remove the SD card and download the flight logs onto a
hard drive or other storage device and delete them from the SD
card. You will then be able to resume normal operations.
The Micro-SD card must be installed in the transmitter in order to log any
flight information. For warranty purposes the Micro-SD is required to be installed in
the transmitter for each flight
The micro-SD card must not be taken out of the transmitter while it is turned on.
Doing this will erase or corrupt the files on the micro-SD card
