80 Adjustment on the device
At first you have to enable the governor function at SETUP MENU point N. If not already
done enter SETUP MENU by pushing an holding the button from operation mode for
at least 2 seconds, then release when the Menu LED A lights solid (!). Then repeatedly
press the button until the Menu LED N lights up. Here at SETUP MENU point N you
can toggle between three different options by tapping the rudder stick. The Status LED
indicates which option is currently active:
Status-LED Governor mode
off no governor - the RPM Governor is not used. All control commands
on the throttle channel will be passed to [THR] output directly.
red electric governor - select this option if your helicopter is powered
by an electric motor and an electric speed controller is plugged into
output [CH5] of MICROBEAST PLUS. The device reads the speed sig-
nal from the speed controller or a phase sensor and controls the rotor
speed accordingly. Note that the speed controller itself must not be
operated in a (heli specific) governor mode! The speed controller must
process the incomming throttle signals and control the motor as direct
and unfiltered as possible.
blue nitro governor - with this option the MICROBEAST PLUS can gov-
ern the rotor speed of a helicopter with nitro or gas engine. In this
case the system controls the throttle servo which is connected to [THR]
output and controls the carburetor of the engine. The motor speed will
be read from a magnetic or optical sensor that captures the rotation of
the crankshaft of the motor, the clutch bell or the main gear.
In order to enable the governor function choose red or blue depending on the type
of helicopter/drive system you're using. Then briefly press the button to skip to the
GOVERNOR MENU (this will only appear when the governor function is used, in case
the governor is disabled = Status LED off, you will directly exit SETUP MENU!).
