ImmersionRC vortex 250 pro, Instruction Manual

Receiver Auto‐Detection
A unique feature of the Vortex family of quadcopters is that the receiver type is auto-detected
by the OSD when running the wizard.
With the Vortex 250 Pro, it is no longer necessary to manually specify the receiver type with the
ImmersionRC Tools before running the wizard.
Note that occasionally the receiver detection fails, for reasons that are not yet understood. If
this is the case, force the receiver type using the Vortex Configurator chrome app.
R/C Transmitter Configuration
Version 1: OSD Firmware prior to 1.0.0.24
Depending upon the R/C transmitter in use, certain parameters need to be modified in order to
ensure compatibility with the Vortex 250 Pro, and more importantly with the Cleanflight Flight
Controller firmware.
In all cases, during the wizard setup, the current ‘PPM Value’ is shown on-screen beside each
control. This value
​
must
​
be as close as possible to a min. of 1000, center of 1500, and max. of
2000.
It is highly recommended to start with a ‘clean’ configuration (new model) for all radios.
Spektrum™ Radios
Spektrum radios need the following configuration:
- Two channels need reversing, AIL, and RUD.
- Map channel 5 to a 2 or 3-position switch to control flight mode (Acro/Horiz or
Acro/Level/Horiz).
- Verify that the endpoints are 1000/1500/2000 as described above.
FrSky Taranis Radio
- Map channel 5 to a 3-position switch to control flight mode (Acro/Level/Horiz).
- Verify that the endpoints are 1000/1500/2000 as described above.
Futaba S‐Bus Radios
- Map channel 5 to a 3-position switch to control flight mode (Acro/Level/Horiz).
- Reverse channels ELE and THR
- Change subtrim to -31 for THR, AIL, ELE, RUD
- Change travel to +/- 119 on all channels.
- Verify that the endpoints are 1000/1500/2000 as described above.
Version 2: OSD Firmware from 1.0.0.25 onwards
For 250 Pros with recent firmware, the wizard is much ‘smarter’, and is no longer as strict as
far as endpoints, and channel reversing goes.
