Manual function assignment
In case the channel to function ordering differs from the given tables above on your radio system, you have to manually assign the channel order step by step. This is done by simply actuating the appropriate channel function on your transmitter at each of the menu points B to I (PROEDITION: J). Each menu point represents one control function to assign. When you move the control stick/adjust the channel with the transmitter, a blue flash of the Status-LED indicates that a channel has been detected. It does not matter how far or in what direction you move the stick or in what position the stick/switch was. The channels value itself is not important, but the change of this value is. It is therefore important that only the requested function is activated and not by accident several simultaneously. Otherwise MICROBEAST PLUS may not recognize the allocated channel correctly. If you have moved the wrong stick/switch, just move the correct one afterwards. MICROBEAST PLUS remembers only the last function that was operated and confirms it with blue flashing of the Status-LED.
Press the button after learning each function to save the assignment and to go to the next function. Once a channel was assigned, it is no longer available and is ignored by MICROBEAST PLUS for the remaining process. Thus, after learning of the collective pitch function (at Menu Point B) you can enable the throttle function (remove throttle hold or switch to a linear or V shape curve) and teach the throttle channel by re-operating the thrust stick at Menu Point G. Now the collective pitch channel is no longer considered as this channel has already been assigned previously and MICROBEAST PLUS will detect and use the throttle channel as actuator for throttle function!
The first 6 functions must be assigned as they are necessary for the basic flight control and the button remains locked until you operate a new control function. The other functions are optional to assign and can be skipped. If special features like AttitudeControl or Headspeed Governor are not installed on your device, the specific menu points for assignment will not be accessible at all.
- The assignment for Aux [CH6] Output at Menu Point H can be skipped by pressing the button without teaching a channel for this function in case it is not used.
- Likewise, the assignment of the channel for internal (nitro) governor can be skipped in case it is not needed or if you don‘t want to control the governor with a separate channel, e. g. if your transmitter does not provide enough free channels. By skipping the assignment the internal governor function will use a different operating mode that allows to control it via the throttle channel (set at Menu Point G) if you like. When used in an electric model the internal governor is controlled by the throttle channel (set at Menu Point G) in general. In this case the assignment at Menu Point I can be skipped anyway, as an assignment will have no effect.
- Finally at Menu Point J you have to assign the channel that is used to engage the AttitudeControl/rescue stabilization (only when you've installed the PROEDITION Upgrade on your device). Again, this can be skipped if not needed or if you don‘t want to use a separate channel (or in case you haven't enough free channels left). AttitudeControl can still be used then. In this case the channel for the tail gyro gain(set at Menu Point F) is used to engage AttitudeControl or you can enable it separately using the Bank Switch feature. Please see the section about using AttitudeControl for further details.
| Menu point | Function |
|---|---|
| B | Collective |
| C | Aileron |
| D | Elevator |
| E | Rudder |
| F | Tail gyro/Bank switch |
| G | Throttle [CH5] |
| H | Aux Output [CH6] |
| I | Governor control (nitro only) |
| J | AttitudeControl gain |
If the Status-LED lights in red color this means either there is no valid remote control signal available or that you did try to assign two or more channels to a function. So check if the receiver is connected and powered properly and that you're only moving one channel at a time when trying to do the manual function assignment.
