Spectrum help needed

hi all

i think it will be something sinmple to do, but i have the robot control (drive) on the right stick however the when i want to go forward it turns and when i want to go the side it goes foward
how do i stop this?

i have a lifter on a different channel which seems to be slower on the way back, ow do i sort this out?

and lastly, im pretty certain it shouldnt be doing this but when i put the robot on the lifter goes without the transmitter being on, any ideas?

thanks alex

you need to swap your reciver wires round on the reciever, you have them back to front to sort the drive problem.

if you are using an electonise switcher, when you turn it on, it fires the relays for a brief second and then sets back to a neutral position.

or if you mean it stays on, then you have wired it into the wrong side of the relay, you need to go into NO ( normally open ) not NC ( normally closed )

Hope this helps.

or read the spektrum manual and reverse them in not to sure how to

With the lifter moving on start up, it sounds to me like youve bound the receiver whilst the transmitter stick is centre or forward so it failsafes in that position.
If it works fine when you have control of it, that will be your problem.

so do i just re-bind it without touching any of the sticks?

also the power problem with the motor going backwards is this something to do with the 100% thing? i think adrian was on a bout the other day?

thanks alex

Swapping over the R/C plugs at the reciever may sort out your fwd reverse / steering probs.

Bind with the sticks and switches in their OFF or failsafe position.

Alex if you are going Barnsley and not sorted will do it for you ok

thanks i have sorted the drive issue, i will try to sort the other problem tomorrwo
thanks all

well, i have found out that it is nothing to do with the spectrum but the relays in the switcher. the automatically click when the link is put in therefore starting the lifter. the only wasy i can think of stopping this happening is having the lifter mech touching the back limit switch therefore stoping it immediately

but is thereany other way?

thanks alex

Alex, I have a similar problem with aftershock.

I am using an electronize switch and until it links with the transmitter the valve is switched on. I havent found a solution to this just yet though and it would be interesting to hear what others have to say.
