Radio - Servo - Gyro - Gov - Batt > Stylus Switch Assignment Help!

I have the older heli card but it works great. When I didn't use the heli card, SW( Switch Assignments) were pretty straight forward because it had the Fli mode 1,2,4 even for EL, AL, RU etc. But, I've been racking my brain out trying to figure how to assign switches for my D/R and GYRO. I've figured out the Flight MODEs 1,2,3 and 4 switches were easy. Here is what I had previously without the card.

D/R (A1>7 A2>6) (E1>14 E2>13) (R1>9 R2>8) Gyro>12

I don't see any D/R options in there and the only thing I'm seeing are those CH-DLY (1,2,3,4,5). I don't understand them. Can anyone explain why the Channel Delays are in there when and the options of D/R are not. And if someone could be so kind and to tell what I'm doing wrong and to tell me what I need to do in order to get my old setting in the the heli card. Also, what does SS1, SS2...SS6 mean? I truly appreciate this because I'm pulling out my hair.

I love the stylus and it's next to the 14MZ IMHO as far as what it can do but they need to revamp it user friendliness a little bit and get a different screen, digital trim and more model memory. It's approaching if it hasn't passed it's 10th year anniversary

How high do they go? Are those things hard too fly? How much do they cost?

heres the manual for the heli card: http://www.airtronics.net/Stylus%20...-Helicopter.pdf

i dont use dual rates, nor am i proficient with programming the stylus. i do however have the manual in front of me and i think i understand the way theyre programmed. i BELIEVE the dual rates ARE assigned to the flight modes, ie 1st set of dual rates set to flight mode 1, another to flight mode 2 etc.

from the manual: "you can adjust dual rate settings for all 5 flight modes, but you must assign a switch to activate flight mode #3 before that mode will function. Flight modes, n, 1, 2, and 4 are assigned switches in the default settings"

im going to look for the gyro stuff now.

edit:

gyro is the same way, programmed per flight mode.

Gyro menu: Gyro>(flight mode) > gain%

Gyro>N > 50%
Gyro>1 > 50%

etc, so you can set your gyro gain to change between the flight modes. i BELIEVE this is what your after.

Hey SpriteFiend,
I do have the manual. But it doesn't tell you how to apply the SW especially for CH-DLY(1,2,etc). Without the card it was easy to assignment them because it stated, D/R AI, El and Ru...on the heli card it doesnt'. Again, I don't know what SS1 and SS6 mean and when to use them. Flight 1, 2 are for my Normal and Idle 1 and 2.

The manual doesn't really tell you anything except an example of the Flight Mode4 which was very easy, which is the Throttle hold. Thanks a lot, but the Stylus is a different animal.

your trying to use dual rates, and change the gain with a switch correct? do you also want to use channel delay? aside from saying that you see that as an option in the SW menu and not dual rates im not sure if your trying to use it or not.

i recently came over to the stylus from a futaba 8u, so programming is new to me too. i however use the new, purple heli card, so im not sure if there is a difference between the old and new.

there is a dualrate menu/screen from the main menu of the stylus, labeled d/r, in it it shows:

D/R >(flight mode) AI > rate
EL > rate RU > rate

if you want dual rates in the normal flight mode you said D/R > to N and adjust your rates to whatever you want, if you want dual rates in flight mode 1 you change D/R > to 1 and change your rates THERE. to switch between them, you use the flight mode n, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc through the SW menu.

I have the new purple heli card too and D/R has it's own menu and flight mode settings. Simply set D/R for each flight mode just like with the pitch and throttle curves. I believe if you don't mess with switch assignments, they use the default switches. I've only used switch assignment to change the direction of a couple functions. I'm not even sure the D/R can be assigned to alternate switches.

The only switch assignments I see are for the flight modes themselves, channel delays, alternate setups, auxilary channels, compensation & bi-directional mixes, automatic offsets, and timer.

I don't use dual rates either. Expo is all I need. But D/R settings are pretty simple with the purple card.

The SS functions are stick switches. I use a stick sw to activate a beep at the 0 stick position on my collective pitch stick.

D/R is now active in each flight mode so set the D/R up accordingly. It's been awhile since I had the second gen heli card so I may not have this 100% but I believe that card assigned the D/R to the FM switches.

Channel delays allow you to slow a servos transit time down for instance if you wanted a set of slow prototypical retract landing gear speeds.

The Stylus has digital trims with analog trim tabs. Active A-DTM to ACT2 and trim out your machine in each flight mode as you normally would with the trim tabs and when you come in and shut off the TX just move the trims back to center and you have each flight mode with it's own unique trim settings and a perfectly trimmed model. ATX has had this feature since 1990 on the high end radios. The nice thing about this featue is that everytime you switch flight modes the trims get written forward to the next flight mode every time you switch modes if you move a trim lever to make a change, otherwise once you are trimmed they are just memorized from mode to mode.

That's clever Terry!

Thanks alot...but I guess I'm not explaining what I'm needing correctly. I'm not using Purple Heli Feature Card... I'm using the one prior to that...which was the pink card... the only difference the pink doesn't have CCPM nor more little Mixing capabilites. ON the pink card I don't see a option for assigning SW for D/R. I do have a D/R prompt for that is for changing the D/R, ex A1=75% A2=100%...I understand that. But I need to assign the switches so it can reconize if SW 6 or 7 is Low D/R and Low D/R...that goes for Rudder and Elevator and Gyro( if I elect to use non HH or HH).

Also, for the pink card and it's manual...only flight mode 1,2,3 and 4 comes with a defaul..which are my N Idle UP 1 and 2 and Throttle Hold.

I want my Air SW to be assign to SW 6 and 7, Rudder SW to be assign to

Thanks alot

Yeah I don't think you can re-assign the D/R to other switches. You can add and combine other functions to the D/R switches, but I think you're stuck with the default D/R switch assignment.

Here's the D/R layout:
Aileron 6 & 7
Rudder 8 & 9
Gyro 11 & 12
Elevator 13 & 14
