Einbau des MICROBEAST PLUS
Befestigen Sie MICROBEAST PLUS mit einem der beiliegenden 3M® Klebepads an einer möglichst vibrationsarmen Stelle in Ihrem Helikopter (z.B. auf der Kreisel- oder Empfängerplattform). Abhängig vom Vibrationspotential des Helikopters kann auch ein anderes, geeigneteres Klebepad für die einwandfreie Funktion notwendig sein. Bei Fragen hierzu wenden Sie sich bitte an Ihren MICROBEAST PLUS Fachhändler.
Der Einbau des MICROBEAST PLUS kann wahlweise flach oder hochkant erfolgen, auch verkehrt herum unter dem Helikopter. Die Stecker der Anschlusskabel müssen aber immer in oder gegen die Flugrichtung des Helikopters zeigen. Die kleine weiße Sensoranschlussleiste muss immer längs zur Flugrichtung sein.
Achten Sie darauf, dass die Gehäusekanten von MICROBEAST PLUS absolut parallel zu den Drehachsen des Helikopters ausgerichtet sind und der Montageort auf der Roll- und Nickachse winkelrichtig zur Hauptrotorwelle ist! Es ist hingegen nicht unbedingt notwendig, dass das Gerät genau auf den Drehachsen montiert wird (dies ist praktisch nahezu unmöglich).
Es ergeben sich acht mögliche Einbaulagen:
-
flach, Deckel oben, Servoanschlussleiste zeigt zur Spitze
-
hochkant, Taster oben, Servoanschlussleiste zeigt zur Spitze
-
flach, Deckel unten, Servoanschlussleiste zeigt zur Spitze
-
hochkant, Taster unten, Servoanschlussleiste zeigt zur Spitze
-
flach, Deckel oben, Servoanschlussleiste zeigt zum Heck
-
hochkant, Taster oben, Servoanschlussleiste zeigt zum Heck
-
flach, Deckel unten, Servoanschlussleiste zeigt zum Heck
-
hochkant, Taster unten, Servoanschlussleiste zeigt zum Heck
Preparing the transmitter
You can use nearly any transmitter that provides at least 6 channels. By default 5 channels are used for controlling Microbeast PLUS and one channel controls the motor. If using additional features like AttitudeControl or RPM Governor more channels may be useful to have. (Please note the RPM Governor only can be used if you have a single-line receiver!).
Create a new model in your radio‘s model memory.
Disable any mixing functions for the swashplate or rudder. Each function should be assigned to just one receiver channel. It is advisable to create different flight modes for different flight states/rotor headspeeds. This will allow to set tail gyro gain depending on the flight modes using the radio's tail gyro adjustment menu.
Never enable your radio‘s eCCPM mixing function! All the swashplate mixing will be done by Microbeast PLUS. Always set your radio‘s swash mixer to mCCPM (mechanical mixing) which is often called “H1”, “1 servo” or “normal“ mixing or disable “swash mixing” if applicable.
Be sure that all trims and sub trims are disabled and that all servo travels are set to 100%. Increasing or decreasing the servo travel/stick throw for aileron, elevator and rudder will later adjust the (maximum) control rates. For the moment to setup Microbeast PLUS let anything stay at default. Also do not adjust the collective pitch curve at the moment. For the setup procedures it has to be set as a straight line reaching from -100% to +100% (or 0 to 100% depending on radio brand). There mustn't be any active mixing functions (for example rudder revo-mixing). Have a look at the radio’s servo monitor: each stick has to control one channel/servo output (except for thrust stick which typically controls collective pitch and motor). Remember when using Microbeast PLUS you do not directly control the servos of the helicopter. By moving a stick you give a control command to the Microbeast PLUS unit which then performs the necessary servo movements to move the helictoper in the commanded direction. Each control command is bound to one servo output channel of the transmitter. When using flight modes again make sure that there is no mixing active in any flight mode and that all trims and subtrims are zero in all flight modes.
Other functions such as throttle curves, ESC switches or auxiliary functions can be adjusted as usual. When using the RPM Governor function the throttle adjustment will be described later. Also the switch assignment for AttitudeControl will be discussed at the specific topic.
Always make sure that the motor in electric models can not start when doing the adjustment work! If the drive battery is used as power supply for receiver, servos and Microbeast PLUS, disconnect the motor from the ESC.
