Hello,

today i tried to setup my Vario H145 with 4 Swashplate Servos.

Equipment:

Jeti Rex 12 with Jeti Ex bus at E2 connected to Spirit pro wit split wire as manual describe
Jeti DS 24, Helitype "Spirit", CCPM 90° selected

All channels work fine in Diagnostic Tab

But...

-if i move Pitch up and down only the servo at channel 3 moves a little bit, even when System initialized it does.
The other 3 servos dont move.

- if i move roll left and right only servo at channel 1 moves up and down

- if i move nick, servos at 0 and 2 moves fine.

Whatever i do that´s always the same result.
It didn´t work.

What does it mean ?
Anybody an idea ?

Hello,

please set Swashplate type to CCPM 90 Velos in the Spirit Settings.
I guess this is what you need for this helicopter.

If only one servo is moving while moving pitch, then your setting was CCPM 90. This is unfortunately not correct for this model.
Please retry with CCPM 90 Velos. Then it should be only matter of connecting servos properly and reversing them.
So that when moving with pitch up and down all servos will move in the right direction.

Hello again,

i tried this Option CCPM 90 velos, witch results in an equal situation.

However there should all 4 servos move when moving pitch.

The same when movin roll or nick, ther should alwas move two servos.

Direction at this step is not so important....but they dont move !

So what do you mean should i triy ? Ti doesnt work, CCPM doesnt and CCPM 90 velo doesnt´.

I setup a lot of systems before (Beast, Demon, Helicommand...) so that i think i should know a little bit what i´m doing but it doesnt wotrk ! :(

I understand, but please retry what I wrote.
It will work certainly, there is no other possibility why it would not work. Please dont forget to save the settings.

Yes, it should work exactly as you described.
With Collective Pitch movement all servos should move.
With Aileron two side servos will move. With Elevator front and rear servo will move.
