Gyro Setup Using the USB Interface

Step 1: Connecting



First install the USB Interface software for your SK360 gyro. Unplug the

swashplate servos the gyro for now.



Set your radio’s transmitter so Aileron, Elevator, and Pitch (Collective) are

output each on a separate channel (“Normal” or “1 Servo” swashplate
mode).



The initial setup will be easier if you use a straight-line pitch curve, and no

expo or dual rates. Later those features can be set in the transmitter as you
normally would.



Connect the gyro to the USB interface, and

set the mode switch on the

gyro toward the gain dials

to put it in setup mode. Turn on the heli’s

power, and start the setup software.



Check that the connection indicator in the upper left is green and says

Connected

Step 2: Match the Gyro to Your Transmitter



In the

Offline Setup Values

area in the lower half of the window, click the

Swashplate

tab. Then select the

Swash Type

that matches your heli’s

swashplate, and make sure

Mixing Location

is set to

In Gyro



Now click the

Control

tab. Center all the trims on your transmitter, and be

sure the cyclic stick is centered.



Click the

Send Setup

button, or press the F1 key to set the changes on the

gyro.

You must SEND the setup whenever you want to test changes.



After a few seconds, check

Inputs from Receiver

again. The % values for

Elevator, Aileron, and Pitch should be close to zero. You can trim the
collective pitch centering on the

Controls

tab.



Try moving the elevator stick towards you (nose up), and look at the Pilot
Control field under Elevator. The number displayed should be close to
100% and show

green

. If it is negative, reverse that channel in your radio.

If it’s too low or reaches 100% much before the stick’s limit, adjust
endpoints and sub-trims for that channel in your radio.



Repeat for Aileron Pilot Control, but move the stick right (

green

). Then

repeat for the Pitch input, but move the stick up (

green

Step 3: Check the Gyro’s Sense Directions



Now look at the

Gyro Rates

fields in the

Live Data

area.

Note: the Rate

fields only sense movement, not angle.



Pick up the heli and slowly tilt it nose-up. The Gyro Rate for Elevator
should be positive and show

green

. If not, click

Flip Elevator Axis

on the

Control tab. If the gyro rate for

Aileron

is high instead, click

Rotate 90

Degrees

on the Control tab.



Repeat for the Aileron (roll) axis, but slowly tilt the heli to the right. The

Gyro Rate for Aileron should be positive and show

green

WARNING:

All the control input and sense directions in steps 2 and 3 must be

correct, otherwise your heli will instantly crash if you try to fly it.

Step 4: Swash Mixing / Servo Setup



Go to the

Swashplate

setup tab again, and set the

Swash Mixing

values

(“CCPM and Travel”) just as you would in your transmitter.



Go to the Servos tab, select the frame rate according to servo type, and

enter the speed of your servos from their specifications.



Make sure the control sticks are centered, and then plug the servos into the

gyro. Check for good motion and no binding.



NOTE:

While in setup mode, the gyro will give 100% swash control to the

transmitter sticks (zero stability gains), to allow for mixing, servo travel,
and mechanical setup.



Check that the swashplate motion is correct.

Note:

the correct blade pitch

range for elevator or aileron input is about +-10 degrees.



If the servos don’t move in the correct directions, reverse them on the

Servos

tab. If the Aileron or Elevator motion is reversed, change the sign

of their swash mixing value (ex, + to -). Try to keep swash mixing values
below 60%. If you need more motion increase the servo travels instead, for
ex. to all to 125%. This prevents unwanted interaction at max and min
collective.



Do not

try to change cyclic throw using the

Control

tab.



Adjust the servos for a level swashplate on the

Servo

tab.

Step 5: Ready for Flight



Save your setup to disk
