MICROBEAST PLUS and MICROBEAST PLUS HD
Current firmware versions available:
4.0.0
This version is an upgrade version that brings new features to your MICROBEAST PLUS device. At the moment there are offered two versions: one with RPM Governor only and the full featured Pro-Edition with RPM-Governor and AttitudeControl. As these versions enhance the functionality of MICROBEAST PLUS, we will charge some fee for these. Despite of the additional features there is no functional difference to firmware version 3.2.0. So if you don't need the additional features there is no must to buy them.
- The RPM Governor can be used for electric and glow helicopters. It has built in soft start and autorotation bail out function. The control it quite similar to electric speed controllers with governor function, so you simply set your throttle curves as switches for "motor off", "headspeed 1", "headspeed 2" and "autorotation bailout". Adjusting complex throttle curves is not necessary anymore and the helicopter will maintain the specified rotor head speed over the whole flight. Optional the nitro governor can be also used in classic style with throttle curves and a separate switch for governor/rpm control.
- AttitudeControl overs different modes of self leveling. These are "Bailout rescue mode", "3D-Mode" and "Flight trainer mode" with angular limitation. Basically when you activate the AttitudeControl it will turn your helicopter back to level position when you release the sticks. Some modes additionaly apply collective pitch input and lock your thrust stick in the ground direction. So the unit will turn your helicopter and keep it leveled in hovering flight regardless of how the pilot moves the stick.
