Can't Get Retracts to Work

mb-1953 · Sat 27. Jan 2018 19:41:56

I have a 2nd TDR2, I downloaded the 2.4.7 fix but the retracts won't respond. Same as before, a servo will work but the etract actuator won't. If I lower the signal of the servos to below 150, the retract will work. Was the download a one time use? Stuck again.

No, the version should be still the same.
Please check what I have written eaerlier. If you are using AUX2 port, then there is same frequency as for the Throttle.

I was using aux3. I'll try to change it around.

I am little bit confused. AUX3 port is not in the unit at all.

I have aux 3 output on channel 8, I assigned the top right side of channel mapping for output on ch0, and assigned channel 8. I tried to use aux 2 by inhibiting channel 7 which I use for bank switching (governor channel), but still couldn't get the retracts to move, a servo moves fine. I copied the program in my tx (dx9) from the other tdr2 that works. Now I don't know what to do.

Did you tried it with a servo? This can tell as that all is OK.

Yes I tried with a servo, the servo operates as one would expect. Also if I change the servo output to 150hz the retract will work connected to channel 0.

Please check that the General - Governor/Throttle - Throttle Frequency is at 60Hz. The only explanation that it does not work is it can operate only at 50Hz.
Personally I dont understand why manufacturers can't add support for higher frequencies as even some normal receivers are operating at 100Hz.
50Hz was used in analog era.

The throttle frequency is at 60. If the servo output is 150 the retracts work so I think that the threshold is not 50hz. Is it possible that the channel 0 output is the same as the other servos?

So I have been confused all along. Your reference to aux 2, was on the spirit pro, I now realize. I thought it was a reference to aux2 in my tx. I reconnected the wires with the retracts to aux2 on the spirit pro, reflashed the download you posted and now it works!!!!!!
Sorry my confusion made this more difficult for you.
