Once your system has installed the USB driver and recognized the
VBar you can start up the software in USB mode. The green bar in
the upper left corner of the screen indictates successful connection.
Transmitter Settings
It is sufficient to use a simple 4- channel transmitter with no active
mixing. This is because flight control and swash plate mixing will be
controlled entirely by the VBar. The only exception to this would be
cyclic to throttle in a nitro heli.
Select a model on your transmitter and set it to mechanical swash
mixing (no ccpm). This way, we have one receiver where one channel
is dedicated to each control function of elevator, aileron, pitch and
tail.
In addition, the pitch curve needs to be linear from 0 to 100%. Servo
travels must be set to 100%, and servo centers at mid position. Also,
make sure all subtrims are set to zero, and all servo directions to
normal. Reset dual rate to 100% and expo to linear, Turn off any tail
mixers that apply to your radio.
Bear in mind that some of these settings change with flight modes,
so you might need to reset them in all flight modes or copy one
setting to all the others.
5. Wiring the VBar to the Receiver
Hook up the input connectors of the VBar unit with the output
connectors of your receiver. Please refer to your radio manual for the
appropriate channel function assignments, in order to assign the
connections for Pitch, Elevator, Aileron and Tail correctly. The 4th slot
is left unused if you are using three swashplate servos. The tail servo
is connected to the outermost slot.
You must make sure the polarity is correct. As is indicated on the
printed label on the VBar main unit, the ground connection, usually
brown or black, has to face upwards.
