Tamiya MFC-01
21. You
Your Servonaut radio allows you to
control
the light and special functions of the
MFC-01
with softkeys, trim is not needed.
Connect the four channels of the MFC
according to the Tamiya manual to the
receiver channels 1 to 4. Create a new
model and load the
light set template
MFC-01EN
.
For this light set the joystick controls and
softkeys for gear changing and horn are set
to 80% rate, the softkeys for the special
functions to 100% and the servo channels 1
to 4 to 125% rate.
The joysticks have 100% travel at the
receiver (80% x 125% = 100%) and the
softkeys simulate full deflection with addi-
tional trim like you need for special functions
with the MFC.
Calibrate the MFC as follows:
1.
Press a button of the MFC for about 1
second
2.
Move the left joystick (throttle) first all
the way up then all the way down
3.
With the softkeys select the third gear,
then second gear, first gear and then
second gear again
4.
Press the softkeys for horn/support -
first right then left
5.
Move the right joystick (steering) first
all the way to the right then all the way
to the left
6.
Press a button of the MFC again
Ÿ
We recommend adjusting the steering
servo mechanically only. If the steering
trim of the radio is changed after cali-
bration errors may occur with the spe-
cial functions.
Ÿ
If a different model is selected (with
the red menu button - Modell) the MFC
turns the motor sound off.
Ÿ
The MFC reacts delayed sometimes,
press the softkeys a little longer if nec-
essary.
Ÿ
The softkeys for mode change [Horn
Mode] and [Run mode] use the same
channel as the gear shift and therefore
only work in second gear (middle posi-
tion).
Ÿ
The ignition is assigned to both keys of
a softkey pair - left and right key have
the same function.
Ÿ
The control [Fifth Wheel] is on servo
channel 7 as a default setting.
Ÿ
The key assignment can be changed
with [Menu] > [Radio] > [Swap Con-
trol].
Ÿ
Two functions on one softkey pair can
be swapped with [Menu] > [Control] >
[Reverse]. You may need to edit the
names manually.
