Basic Instructions
connect the device based on the connection diagrams. for RX3S, the DIP switches set the WING mode
(single aileron, dual ailerons or flapperons, delta or vtail). for NanoWii, the stick configs will set WING mode.
if you change any DIP switch settings, power cycle the device to enable the new setting to take effect.
the VR gain POTs on the RX3S control the correction gain and direction for each of the pitch (ELE), roll (AIL)
and yaw (RUD) axis.
7 o'clock = max gain in one direction
12 o'clock = zero gain
5 o'clock = max gain in opposite direction
the AUX channel controls the master gain linearly. It can be set with a knob/slider (ideally) or a 2/3-position
switch. It can also be left unconnected, which defaults to MAX gain in RATE mode.
the AUX channel also controls RATE mode vs HOLD mode. The following diagram shows the AUX1 pulse
width determining RATE and HOLD master gain values. To calibrate the TX AUX1 for 1500us, apply subtrim
to AUX1 (with 3P switch in middle position for example) until you are at the point between 4 flashes and no
flashes, that is effectively zero stabilization.
the stick position also controls the gain to reduce the stabilizer from over correcting your controls during
manoeuvres.
neutral position = max gain
extreme position = zero gain
in between = linear between max and zero.
LED Status
there are 4 LED message slots. each slot is a series of flashes to indicate a condition. LONG flashes are
600ms pulses (600ms on and 600ms off), SHORT flashes are 200ms pulses and VERY_SHORT pulses are
30ms pulses. the number of pulses and duration of each pulse determines the message.
