dying. The plane is still controllable at reduced throttle without the pulsing effect. Land immediately, using low
power.
The behaviour of a
brushless
motor will depend on the speed controller used. Most brushless ESCs include an
LVC feature.
Indicator LEDs
Red/Green LEDS
These LEDS indicate the mode of operation. The green LED should always be on and indicates the receiver is
operating correctly. When lit, the red LED indicates that stabilization is inactive.
Green + Red
Stabilization OFF
Green only
Stabilization ON
Blue LEDS
The three blue LEDS, shown as
“
R
”
(Rudder),
“
E
”
(Elevator), and
“
A
”
(Aileron) in the picture on page5 serve
several functions:
1.
To indicate the direction of the stabilizer response on each of the three axes.
2.
To serve as indicators when setting the various mixes.
Lemon have packed a lot of functionality into the Microbrick and have achieved it by using only a single button
to do all of the input

but it comes at the cost of some possible confusion. The LED display listed in the Lemon
instructions is not always easy to follow or understand as lot of it is time dependent. It is easiest to understand
the green/red and blue LEDS if we consider it by intended function.
Binding
Start with the transmitter off or in System Setup mode so that it is not transmitting.
1.
With the transmitter off, hold the button down and connect the battery. The Microbrick will quickly start
flashing the red LED on the bottom side rapidly. Release the button immediately
–
the red LED will continue
to flash.
2.
Move the transmitter 1-2m away from the Microbrick and put it into Bind mode. The red LED on the
Microbrick should flash slowly a few times and then go solid. The Microbrick is now bound to your
transmitter. Most Spektrum transmitters will display the bind protocol which is normally “DSMX 22mS”.
3.
Turn off the Microbrick and transmitter, then restart with the transmitter first.
The binding operation is normally a one-off task and does not have to be repeated unless you change
transmitters or move to a new model for that Microbrick within the transmitter.
Programming
Transmitter or Microbrick?
Where the mixing can or should be done depends on whether stabilization is enabled.
If stabilization is disabled
You have a choice. Either:
1.
All mixing (including V-Tail and Elevon) can be carried out in the transmitter.
OR
