Hi there all - I'm new to the hobby and have just built myself an Electrohub Y6 using a Vector flight controller and 8 channel LemonRX receiver. My problem is that I am lost when it comes to setting up my (old, second hand) Spektrum DX7 transmitter. I have managed to bind the receiver to it (at least the receiver LEDs light up when the transmitter is on), but am confused about setting the transmitter up to control my beastie... I have searched the internet for hours, but not managed to find anything that makes sense (to me, at least). The Spektrum site has downloadable setup files for several planes, but none that I can see for a Y6.
So, my question is does anyone here use a DX7 transmitter with an Electrohub Y6, or can anyone give me some clues as to how I should go about programming the transmitter for it? The Vector has a setup program which I've run on my PC through a USB cable and is now set so it knows it's a Y6, but I am confused on the transmitter side of things... As far as I can tell, for a Y6 I should be using an "acro" model as opposed to "heli" but I just can't get any further. Random messing around with settings on the transmitter has made the motors run a couple of times, but I dare not put the propellers on until I have at least a basic setup on the transmitter.
I was wondering whether to look at changing the transmitter for something a little newer, as I want to be able to use a pan and tilt gimbal in the future, so a couple of knobs would seem to be sensible. Could anyone suggest a reasonably priced transmitter to upgrade to with this in mind?
Many thanks in advance!
