4) Run the Wizard
In the world of R/C, there is little standardization between equipment manufacturers as far as
control stick to channel mapping. There is also little agreement between users as to which of
the 4 control modes should be used.
Since in the Vortex, both the OSD, and the Flight Controller need to know the channel
mappings, a ‘Tx Setup Wizard’ is included to greatly simplify the process.
This wizard also configures various flight controller parameters which would normally require
a personal computer, with a USB connection to the quad copter.
NOTE: The wizard should allow a brand-new, unconfigured Vortex, to be removed from its
shipping box at a race event, and prepared for flight in less than a minute, with no tools, or
USB hookups required.
For the techies, there is a full description of the configuration steps performed near the end of
the full user’s manual, under ‘Appendix A: The Wizard - Details’.
The first time the Vortex is powered up, the Tx Setup Wizard is presented, as shown after the
mode 1/mode 2 control descriptions below.
Following the instructions on-screen, 5 simple steps, will configure the 4 flight channels, and
one auxiliary control (CH5) which will control the flight mode.
