Want to use a RC receiver and gyro

[merchjo]

Hey Guys

Right now I have a Hitec Micro 05S receiver and I would also like to use a gyro at the same time. The issue is my receiver is plugged into AD0 - AD3. The Gyro is to use AD0 and AD4. Has anyone been able to run both at the same time, if so what ports did you use?

Thanks
Joe

Never mind, I figured it out....

merchjo,
Could you post a little info about your setup?
Thanks exactly what I plan on doing to my RN-1.

OK here goes I setup the Gyro Port 1 - AD 0 - input to gyro - AD 4 output from gyro to MR-C3024 and used the following code:


'Gyro Setup
GYROSET G6A,0,1,1,1,0,0
GYROSET G6D,0,1,1,1,0,0

GYRODIR G6A,1,0,0,1,0,0
GYRODIR G6D,1,0,0,1,0,0

GYROSENSE G6A,0,250,200,250,0,0
GYROSENSE G6D,0,250,200,250,0,0

I set the receiver up as follows:

CH1 to AD(5)
CH2 to AD(2)
CH3 to AD(1)
CH4 to AD(3)

And made the changes in the code as follows:

RC_GET:

DELAY 200

RC0 = RCIN(5) 'RX PORT 1 -- AD PORT 0
RC2 = RCIN(1) 'RX PORT 3 -- AD PORT 1
RC1 = RCIN(2) 'RX PORT 2 -- AD PORT 1
RC3 = RCIN(3) 'RX PORT 4 -- AD PORT 2

This may be a really stupid question but are you using a Gyro?

Thanks for posting this info.

[merchjo]

yes, I gave you the info in the past post

Do you have questions?

[mthomson]

I saw the reference in your modified code and connections for the gyro but didn't know if it was specifically for an added gyro or part of the required changes to use an rc controller.

Which gyro are you using and are you happy with the results?

thanks again,

I am using the GWS PG-03 gyro. Yes I am pretty happy with the results. Still tweeking the seting and adjusting sensitivity.
