Spikey Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I've never had a problem with the 6-channel Lemon Spektrum-compatible RX's before, so I guess I'm just having brain failure with these two new ones Bind plug in, ESC lead to "Throttle" pins, power "on", then with TX 2 metres away from RX, switch TX on with "bind" switch held on. RX LED flashes quickly, then goes out, then comes back on flashing slower, then goes out. Beeping from TX unchanged throughout. No way can I get a steady LED and a dialogue going, so what am I doing wrong please chaps? Edited By Spikey on 28/02/2016 17:57:54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Carpenter Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Just put a new diversity aerial RX in my Sebart . That's what I did. Works OK. Have you got plug reversed ? Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Not sure I understand your post Colin but thanks anyways. Plug is right way round. I'll get on to the supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Spikey Make sure the throttle in is all the way down - including the trim! Just one click off the lowest trim caused it to do exactly as you describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ah, nice one Simon. Thanks. I'll check that tomorrow for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarke Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Hi Everyone I have run into a bind problem with the Lemon DSMX-compatible 7 channel full range integrated telemetry receiver and if anyone could help I’d really appreciate it. I’m using a Spektrum DX6 G2 tx and whatever distance away from the rx when I go through the normal binding routine, the voice drones ‘binding has failed!’ I have tried turning the throttle trim down to zero in case that might help but sadly not. I have checked and rechecked my binding technique – it works normally with the little Lemon DSMX 6 channel rx (the one without a hard case) and my DX6 tx and binds quickly. I have also tried binding the problem7 channel rx with my other Spektrum DX6i tx which is still DSM2 and that binds and works perfectly in DSM2 but then there is no telemetry facility on my tx. Does this mean that running in DSMX, a rx can only have the same or less number of channels than the tx? I hope not. Has anybody else had the same problem?

Robert Putley 1 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Clarke, You can always try contacting Lemon, they are very helpful. Have many Lemons, flown via a DX9. All have been faultless. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Clarke As I understood it if the rx is DSMX then a DX6i will bind in DSMX. Of course the post 2014? DX6i will only work in DSMX. From the tests you have conducted it begins to sound like the telemetry facility is in the mix somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarke Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Thanks Robert - I tried the 'official' help group but will contact Lemon directly as you suggested. Much better! Simon, I checked my old Spektrum DX6i manual and the version I have is a full range DSM2 tx and it's limited to that. There is no facility to download/upgrade the DX6i that I'm aware of. The newer DX6 tx was supposed to have both but then I believe EC regulations required that when I downloaded a firmware 'upgrade', it became DSMX only. Great pity that. That's my experience but perhaps Spektrum have issued various combinations?? Heaven help us all! What has foxed me is that the little Lemon 6 channel receiver works perfectly with the DX6, updating telemetry results on the DX6 screen properly but no bind for the 7 channel at all. Anyway I'll post the problem to Lemon.... Many thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Posted by Clarke on 31/07/2016 16:48:06: The newer DX6 tx was supposed to have both but then I believe EC regulations required that when I downloaded a firmware 'upgrade', it became DSMX only. Great pity that. That's my experience but perhaps Spektrum have issued various combinations?? Heaven help us all! If your DX6 was imported before Jan 2015 it should be capable of both DSMX and DSM2. After that date, it is very likely to be DSMX only. Downloading and installing any of the firmware updates will not result in loss of functionality in respect of DSM2 - that was confirmed both by HH UK and Andy Kunz of Spectrum some time ago. I see you've tried asking the question over on RCG - it's a pity you haven't had a more positive response. Hopefully a question direct to Lemon should sort the problem...

Robert Putley 1 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hello Splkey, Have you managed to bind your rx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarke Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Many thanks to Pete B - I did contact Lemon directly. They have a great service team and although they asked me to return the receivers to them in Hong Kong, they did confirm that they will replace them with something that will give the facilities I need. V good! On the point of service teams: a subsequent accidental thump to the tx meant that it had to be sent back to Horizon. It was returned to me within the week fully repaired, at no charge! That is superb. Things are looking up! Edited By Clarke on 16/08/2016 15:27:53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilco Wingco Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Just got this from Lemon. Hello Mike, Thanks for letting us know and there had already been discussion on the internet with non-Spketurm transmitter use. This is due to non-Spekturm transmitter users. Are you using Orange module? There is a firmware issue with the Orange tx module that it won't work no only to our receiver but also Spektrum receiver and e-flite plane from Horizon Hobby as well as SAFE receiver from Spektrum. The interesting thing is, older version of Orange transmitter module works fine (build before 2014). We have got this information from our trusted test pilot. If that's the case you can refund it as you wish. We suggest you to use Spektrum transmitter by any means because we aware Orange's product is problematic from time to time. Fanny will send you the details for returning and refund. Hello Fanny, Please arrange Mike to refund / return. Best Regards, Lemon Rx Officer Subject: FW: Enquiry Mike I wish to return the 5 receivers I received in my Order ID: #XXXXX as I can't get the only 2 I have tried to bind. I am using the same module I have used with all the other receivers I have purchased from you and they all work fine. When I try to bind the bind process seems to go O.K. and the LED on the receiver goes through the correct sequence. However when I try to operate the servos via the receiver nothing happens. All my other Lemon receivers work fine with the transmitter module. Regards. Mike --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
