MICROBEAST PLUS - Bedienungsanleitung

MICROBEAST PLUS ist der offizielle Nachfolger des bekannten MICROBEAST Flybarless Systems. Die Hardware wurde grundlegend überarbeitet um MICROBEAST dem Stand der Zeit anzupassen. Neueste MEMS Sensoren und schnellere Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit sorgen für eine noch präzisere Regelung in allen Flugsituationen. Falls Sie MICROBEAST schon in Verwendung haben werden Sie feststellen, dass die Einstellung von MICROBEAST PLUS wie gewohnt abläuft. An dem bewährten „EasySetup“ Konzept und der einfachen Bedienung wurde festgehalten. So fällt der Umstieg auf MICROBEAST PLUS besonders leicht. Da MICROBEAST PLUS wesentlich leistungfähiger ist als MICROBEAST, ist es speziell auf die Verwendung mit der StudioX Softwarelösung zugeschnitten durch die komplexere Einstellvorgänge ermöglicht werden und wodurch sich völlig neue Anwendungsmöglichkeiten ergeben. Wir empfehlen von Zeit zu Zeit dieses Wiki und unsere Supportwebseite zu besuchen, um die jeweils neuesten Features für MICROBEAST PLUS zu erhalten.


Versionsanzeige am Gerät - Version 4.x.x

Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Bedienungsanleitung nur für die MICROBEAST PLUS Softwareversion 4.x.x gültig ist!
Die Softwareversion kann mit dem optional erhältlichen USB2SYS Interface in Kombination mit dem StudioX Softwarebundle am Computer ausgelesen werden. Außerdem wird die Version während der Initialisierungsphase nach dem Einschalten direkt am MICROBEAST PLUS angezeigt: Das MICROBEAST PLUS führt zuerst einen LED-Test durch. Dabei leuchten alle Menü-LEDs gleichzeitig und die Status LED wechselt der Reihe nach die Farbe (rot->blau->violett). Anschließend leuchtet für ca .3 Sekunden die Status LED rot, währenddessen zeigen die Menü LEDs A - Gdie erste Stelle und die Menü LEDs H - Ndie zweite Stelle der aufgespielten Software an.

 
Software Version 4.0.x

Softwareversion: 4.0.x

In der linken Reihe leuchtet LED C für die Hauptversion „4“ . In der Reihe H bis N leuchtet keine LED. Die Unterversion ist „0“ .

Safety notes

  Radio controlled (R/C) helicopters are no toys! The rotor blades rotate at high speed and pose potential risk. They may cause severe injury due to improper usage. It is necessary to observe common safety rules for R/C models and the local law. You can gather information from your local R/C model club or from your national modelers association.

  Pay attention to your own safety and the safety of other people and property in your vicinity when using our product. Always fly in areas away from other people. Never use R/C models in close proximity to housing areas or crowds of people.
R/C models may malfunction or crash due to several reasons like piloting mistakes or radio interference, and cause severe accidents. Pilots are fully responsible for their actions, and for damage or injuries caused by the usage of their models.

  Please read the instruction manual thoroughly before the first use of your MICROBEAST PLUS and setup the system carefully according to this manual. Allow sufficient time for the setup procedure and check each step carefully. Watch for a mechanically clean and proper build of your helicopter. A wrong system setup can lead to a serious accident and damage to the model.

  Radio controlled (R/C) models consist of several electrical components. It is therefore necessary to protect the model from moisture and other foreign subtances. If the model is exposed to moisture this may lead to a malfunction which may cause damage to the model or a crash. Never fly in the rain or extremely high humidity.

  When operating the helicopter with a MICROBEAST PLUS ensure there is a sufficiently large and stable receiver power supply. Because of the direct coupling of the rotor blades to the servos, without the use of a flybar mixer, the servos are exposed to increased actuating forces. In addition, because of the intermediary electronic gyro system, the servos are driven more often than with traditional use.
These factors can make the power consumption increase a lot compared to a flybar helicopter. When the supply voltage falls below 3,5 volts for a short amount a of time, the system will power off and reboot. In this case a crash of the helicopter is unavoidable.

  Do not expose the MICROBEAST PLUS system to extreme variations in temperature. Before powering up the system, wait some time so that the electronics can acclimatize and any accumulated condensation is able to evaporate.

  The sensors of MICROBEAST PLUS consist of highly sensitive electomechanical components. These can be damaged due to moisture or mechanical or electrical impact. Do not continue using this product, if it hase been exposed to such influences, e.g. dure to a crash of the model or due to overvoltage caused by a defective receiver power supply. Otherwise a failure may happen any time.

  When operating electric helicopters make sure that the electric motor cannot start inadvertently during the setup procedure. Particularly pay attention if using a single-line receiver and if the ESC is connected directly to the MICROBE­AST PLUS. We recommend disconnecting the electric motor from the ESC during the setup procedure. Prior the first usage please slide the motor/pinion away from the main gear, then check that the motor does not to start inadvertently when the receiver is switched on.

  When operating the RPM Governor feature of MICROBEAST PLUS Pro-Edition it is essential to ensure that the motor cannot start by accident when making adjustment or performing preparations to start the engine. Carefully read this manual and make sure you fully understand how the RPM Governor feature is operated before making any adjustments. Also make sure the motor does not start when the radio link is interrupted or when you switch on the transmitter initially. With electric driven models do not dock the motor to the main gear unless all necessary adjustment procedures have been finished. Always maintain sufficient safety distance to the motor and other rapidly rotating components of the helicopter.

  MICROBEAST PLUS with AttitudeControl can be used as a flying aid for beginners as the reaction of the helicopter to stick inputs can be limited and as an electronic control circuit can help to stabilize the helicopter. However, this does not provide that the helicopter can always be flown safely! By incorrect control inputs the helicopter still may crash or be placed in a position in which the pilot becomes disoriented even when using AttitudeControl. In addition, the helicopter can drift due to external influences and it is not guaranteed that the artificial horizon of the device can stabilize the helicopter at any time and recover from any orientation. Influences such as temperature fluctuations or vibrations may cause incorrect results and distort the position calculation of the system in consequence. There is no guarantee that the system will always work correctly. Only the pilot is responsible for the control of the helicopter and thus also for the use of the system. You must always be able to turn off the system immediately and be able to take over full control of the helicopter.

  We suggest you to seek the support of an experienced helicopter pilot before you undertake the first flight of your model. Additionally, flight training with a R/C simulator can help make flying easier and more enjoyable. Ask your local dealer if you need technical support or if you observe problems during the usage of our system.

  AttitudeControl can help to facilitate flying of model helicopters by briefly passing over control to the system if the pilot becomes disoriented. By using the built-in artificial horizon the helicopter can be brought to a nearly horizontal position so that the pilot gains time to reorient. Thus there can be no assurance that the model is saved from a crash in general. Depending on the current attitude and the speed of the model and depending on how fast the AttitudeControl is activated, the model may crash before or while the system tries to recover. In addition, the helicopter can drift due to external influences and it is not guaranteed that the artificial horizon of the device can stabilize the helicopter at any time and recover from any orientation. Influences such as temperature fluctuations or vibrations may cause incorrect results and distort the position calculation of the system in consequence. Strictly observe the general safety rules for dealing with RC models and do not totally rely on the system. The pilot is responsible for the control of the helicopter and thus also for the use of the system. You must always be able to turn off the system immediately and be able to take over full control of the helicopter.
