| Transmitter question for 4WS
Will I be able to choose different steering modes with a FS-gt3 transmitter for 4WS?? http://www.nitrorcx.com/fs-g3-24ghz-radio.html Thanks |

I use a Futaba 3PL on my 4ws rig. when it is set up for 4ws it uses the D/R (dual rate) switch to switch from 4ws to crab walk. The other nice feature is it is a 3+1 radio so you still have a 3rd channel. i am working on using the 3rd channel to switch 4ws on and off |

I wasn't looking to spend to much and wanted to know what people thought about these transmitter. This is the new version, has anyone had any experience with these and would i be able to change modes for 4WS? http://www.nitrorcx.com/79p-gt3b-carradio-lcd.html |

If you dont want to spend a ton on the transmitter, you could just get a cheap 3 channel setupl, and then wire your 3 position 3rd channel to a PunkRC 4 steer switch. That is the way I went. Casey |

I'm using direct to battery - not a weak built in ESC's BEC. If it were the battery, then I would have the same issue without BQS. I don't. I discussed with the BQS designer, and we suspect a faulty module. EDIT: Tested my module using an oscilloscope, https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Byn3...92WkhhcjRPVkE/ So the problem I'm having is because the BQS is sending a signal every 40ms instead of every 20ms. Possible bad clock, or typo is this were a programmed PIC or microcontroller. Last edited by beomagi; 08-24-2014 at 07:40 AM. |

Problems have been corrected Confirmed issue with the software of the module and some changes were made. It was a very good experience for me, since I ended up picking up an arduino and oscilloscope to learn how to process these signals myself. P8246696 by BE0MAGI, on Flickr At which point I was able to make sense of what was going on and suggest a few things. I've received the new quadsteer module and it works great now. Given the nature of the previous issue and my understanding of this, I can only recommend the Bastens device, since I know it will deliver a proper signal now. Turns out standard ways of reading and writing RC pulses, especially in a particular order can cause some issues. So the new device works great and I received a bunch of extra stuff from Bastens as well, so mad props to the Vendor! Last edited by THX_138; 09-12-2014 at 10:55 PM. |
