Colin Naylar Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hi Folk, is there anyone out there who understands the finer points of the T8FB tx. I've managed to adjust the throttle curve and instigated a motor safety cutout on SWA but little else. Surely there is a way to facilitate a 2 sevo wing and to bulld in dual rates. And what on earth does INH stand for. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So next question is what does inhibit do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a go Ken, obviously not as well as I should. There does seem a dearth of info on the cheapy T8FB though and the videos on YouTube seem to only cover the basics. I have a Tiranis but with 2 receivers and the tx for £60 and a new toy I couldn't leave it on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 On or Off are the status of a switch for example. INH and ACT, inhibit and activate are actions as in verbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual rates is in ADVANCED I can't find a 2 servo wing setup it looks like a Y lead has to be used.

Nah, it came with a manual and the downloadable one is the same, they don't go beyond the basics. I have emailed the makers so we'll see what they come up with. Deciphering the chinglish, although not difficult is sometimes amusind - servo wrench = servo travel, for instance. Must admit my Chinese ain't great!

Channel 5 for second wing servo and Channel 1 as the Master maybe. Not having a T8FB I can go no further as I am only reading the manual.

Into it EarlyBird, I'll set that up on the bench and see if I can get it working along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look like the AUX channels have to linked to a switch also the master slave options need sorting out. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Griff Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Did you download the setting up program ? Mine is the Bluetooth one, yours is the computer lead one ? Haven't touched mine yet so have these questions to come. All I want is a basic set up 4 channel, nothing fancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Naylar Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Rich, you can connect to a PC via a usb cable or connect through Bluetooth. I've done both, but I think Bluetooth is preferable, I am storing the plane data on my tablet and I can take that to the field.

Colin Naylar Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 EarlyBird, I have solved the 2 servo wing problem. I programmed a mix as you suggested, channel1 master and channel5 slave, then reversed channel5. No switches involved. It took a while cos some other preprogrammed stuff was interfering. The duel rates thing looks a bit harder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just attempted to read a few bits of the manual a couple of new Frsky RXs for the Taranis for the same money might have been a better bet - deciphering that certainly looks like "fun"...! ?
