| I agree with you the board should have been matched up with the Transmitter. Disconnect you linkages and remove them from your servos to prevent damaging them. Then make sure you are turning on your transmitter first, before you connect the battery to the piccoboard.
The jumper located under the crystal on the receiver board has two positions one for futaba and Hitec transmitters (Jumper the two pins closest to the cyrstal) and the other for JR and Airtronics transmitters (jumper on the two pins farthest from the crystal). I am not sure what position the jumper must be set for your Nova 6 transmitter. Put the jumper on the pins as they came from the vendor, then turn on your tranmitter first and connect the battery to the piccoboard second. If the servos goes crazy then dissconnect the battery and jumper the other two pins and reconnect the battery.
If there is still no change in the servos then check the channel (or frequency) of the crystal on the piccoboard (mine is a Berg 58) and make sure it is the same as the crystal on tranmitter (Mine is a on channel 58). You can find out the channel for your transmitter by looking in your manuals, your invoice slip, on your transmitter or there may be an access panel on your transmitter that you can remove in order to access your crystal. If the channels are the same then I am sorry for posting such a long confusing and boring reply.
I had the same problem with the servos going crazy. I had to purchase a crystal for my piccoboard (a Berg 50 single filter crystal from Microheli) to match the channel on my Futaba9CHP transmitter. I had to chane the modulation in my transmitter to PPM instead of PCM, then I turned on my transmitter first and I connected the battery to my Piccoboard pro. Problem solved.
Now, I have to learn how to fly the damn thing! |
