Smart Fly PE Problem
I just purchased the Smart Fly PE Sport.
I installed it in the plane tonight and soldered deans plugs onto my fromeco regs and hooked them to the PE plugs (yes + and - are correct) I get no power to the servos. The lights on the board are on. Im using a JR 649 Receiver I read this thread: http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/f...der-sport.html Am i correct in this: I do NOT plug anything into the battery port on the JR receiver? I just plug the power leads on the left side into the throttle port, then the other power leads into the last aux? |

Re: Smart Fly PE Problem
Make sure you have the jumpers from the power expander to the receiver correct, not trying to insult your intelligence in any way... just a thought.

Re: Smart Fly PE Problem
Yeah, i checked that too. They actually wont plug in the opposite way. I bypassed the PE and just hooked up everything like i have before just to make sure the signal wire was up. Everything worked then. Im sure its something im doing wrong.

Re: Smart Fly PE Problem
Hi wttiger42,
I answered on the other forum also. The only thing I can think of is that the servo plugs are not oriented correctly. Make sure the orange wire is to the inside of the unit near the notch on the servo plug guide. There is really hardly anything that can go wrong on this. |

Re: Smart Fly PE Problem
Try plugging one servo into the receiver while everything is still powered by the PE.
The signal line on your servo extentions should all be plugged in towards the rx.

Re: Smart Fly PE Problem
Im gonna check that out as soon as i get off work. It sucks being stuck here all day trying to troubleshoot a problem and when you might have the solution you have to wait all day to try it out.
Thanks for the help! |

Re: Smart Fly PE Problem
That fixed the problem. I took the 3-lead out of the battery port and it is working like a champ!

Re: Smart Fly PE Problem
Yeah
This is because the signal pin in the battery port in your JR receiver is used for the DSC Connection. |
