Cerberus Trifecta - Cerb v2 newbe build

Cant get the pic to pull up, imbed it into the thread

 

[VirtueViolater]

got it. ok, not sure now, thinking that may be right. In the other pic, it looked like you had speksat chosen which is spektrum

 

[VirtueViolater]

You could try it in ppm and ibus

 

[VirtueViolater]

Also, make sure your transmitter is set to sbus or whatever your using (im guessing you have to set it on frsky, you have to on flysky)

hmmm, this should be working tree way it's setup. thanks for the input guys! I'll keep trying

 

[Futuramille]

transmitter is not plugged into the pc, i power up and bind the tx to rx, plug micro into the pc with betaflight open and the micro connects. go to reciever tab and nothing
I've plugged the micro into betaflight first, then powered up (tx is on and rx binds) .. still no input in the reciever tab

You can try selecting serial receiver on another uart on the ports tab.

 

[theGreenOrange]

The LED on your receiver is lighting up, right?

 

[Futuramille]

yes, its bound tx to rx, all green. redid the binding 3 times today.

 

[Futuramille]

the vid on youtube (pico blx + taranis + betaflight) is quite specific about those port settings. i did try some others (save/reboot) . this is being a bugger. I'll get it. thanks y'all, any input its good.... i can't be the first here

 

[Futuramille]

plus, by the time i figure this out ill know betaflight rather well for loading the cerb V2. tomorrow's another day

 

[Futuramille]

ok got it fingered. the stm driver has two steps to install. running the initial exe only unpacked the files to a folder. i had to go run that 86 bit version to actually install the driver
everything connects now. still working on getting the aux arming channel to work but getting closer.
any pointers on figuring out how they setup the arming switch? i see the aux channel setup on the micro in BF and i see my two additional (fltmd, arm switch) channels configured in the taranis. any tips? maybe resetting min value?.. not sure again lol

 

[Futuramille]

also, i took oranges advice... swapped uart2 & uart3 ... baddabing!

 

[theGreenOrange]

Nice, glad you got it working. To figure your switches out, go to the receiver tab and just start flipping them. Try this on the modes tab too. You will want some sort of beeper switch too.

 

[Futuramille]

here's how the esc/ motors are configured. I've made no changes to these
withought the tx bound, the reciever tab seems to want 885 throttle low.

 

[Futuramille]

here's what it reads with the tx rx bound and powered. switches off (unarmed) and then armed.

 

[Futuramille]

here's the aux 1 arm switch setup. what do i do? gut says its a range value issue. needs to be inside this range to arm i think. min. 1975 -> max 2100 when the switch is armed. what if i reverse the aux channel?

 

[theGreenOrange]

Looks like you need to set the endpoints in your radio menu so you have 1000us on low throttle.

 

[theGreenOrange]

here's the aux 1 arm switch setup. what do i do? gut days its a range value issue

With your radio turned on, start flipping switches and see if that aux1 arm box lights up. If not, go to the receiver tab and start flipping switches to see which are already available. Then assign one of those to the arm mode.

 

[Futuramille]

that was it, i reversed the aux1 channel and it slipped perfectly into that range.. BOOM... time to put on some blades.
