Hi Guys,
Merry Christmas to all. Need some advice pls. Using Jeti EX Bus connection, assigned channel
1 as throttle plugged in master & slave cable from Kosmik into Aux 1 & Aux 2 respectively.
Power up but Kosmik does not beep at all which means no throttle signal is available. Check
diagnostic on the Wizard & throttle is moving fine. Where have I gone wrong ?

Was watching the Spirit set up video & notice 2 things that's missing from my set up
Wizard : Swash Plate Sensor Direction Adjustment & Pirouette Optimization Direction
is not there. Am I missing something ? Wizard is 2.2

Many thanks

Hi

the problem you have is caused by a wrong Throttle range.
What values do you have currently in the settings? Defaults are Min.: 1100 and Max.: 1900us. You can find it in the General/Throttle window.

After recalibration everything will work well.

The parameters that are missing are not there anymore, because the guide you have found is unfortunately for version 1.X.
But they are not affect the issue.

I've already sorted out the throttle issue.
Re missing parameters I was verifying
swash sensing without blades. When
tilting the heli the compensation is so
little & slow am wondering if my set up
is not done correctly. When I tilt heli forward
swash does not tilt back I choose Goblin 770 in
the wizard. Servos & pitch not moving very fast,
how to make adjustments.

The settings are very similar to the BeastX, but certain things are different.
For example you have to reach a condition when a stick movement will move with the bars in the same direction in the Diagnostic tab.

Then when you move with the collective stick, all servos should go up and down in the same way. If not, you have to use reverses in the software, not transmitter. And then all should be OK.

Compensations might be not visible too much, you have to move with the helicopter faster. But if motor is not running and you are not moving with the sticks anymore, the swashplate should always return to the center in a few seconds.

You are always welcome so do not worry to ask.

Cannot use TX for reverse !!!!!!
Oouch I did that for Aileron cause
I couldn't get it to work correctly
from the software. If I understand
your manual correctly pitch servo
is on the left side & aileron is on the
right side when looking from tail boom
towards the front. Have I gotten it wrong

sorry Tomas re your comment on diagnostic when you say bar should move the same as tx stick des it mean example when I move elevator stick down the bar should go down as well ?
There's 2 parameters that I trying to understand how to set
1. Fail safe - What setting should I input ????
2. Bail out- if I set to acro how do I assign a switch on my jeti tx.
I see a Bank column on the right side of the screen but dont
know what to do with it

Thks again

Yes,

pitch (CH1) is on the left side
aileron (CH3) is on the right side
This apply for CCPM 120° swashplate type.

You are right, all bars, especially aileron, elevator, rudder, collective must go always in the same direction as the real stick movement.
So when it is working well, you can't use reverses on the transmitter anymore.

If this is good, you know that one thing is correct so you can go to the next step.

For a PPM, Futaba S-BUS, Spektrum DSM2/X, Jeti EX Bus, SRXL/SUMD receiver types you can set the Failsafe directly in the unit. Channel values are stored immediately after clicking the Set failsafe button. In case that the signal is lost for more than 1 second it will set the values automatically in the flight.

With other receiver types the Failsafe is programmed in the transmitter or receiver.
