New Flysky Noble NB4 plus FGr4 v2 receiver - how to switch over from my Spektrum receiver?

[Graeme - Edinburgh]

We have connection and bind, i just need to calibrate now. Returning to the manual. 

 

(But i have throttle and steering - wow, steering so much more responsive with this controller)

[Graeme - Edinburgh]

Once I’ve calibrated, I assume I then need to setup up the controller and all the buttons, though kind of hoping they all magically work. 

[m4inbrain]

Hm? No. 

 

Once you've gone through the ESC throttle calibration, you're done. The only thing you COULD do is go to full lock on the servo both sides, see if it binds or strains, and adjust the endpoints on that too. Which is super simple on the Noble, we'll go through that if necessary (and i mean: it's laughably simple).

So calibration is done! 

 

Yes, i believe the steering end points were next. Was just gonna go find a YT video on that. 

 

Once I’ve done that, i guess I’m wondering about the trim controls and things like % power and AVC etc and some of the other things the Spektrum controller does. 

[m4inbrain]

Well..

 

That's easy. 

 

The FG doesn't do that. There's no AVC, so no need to set that up. Trim controls are on the two small joysticks on top of the steering wheel, already set up. %Power, well.. That would probably just be throttle dual rate, but i wouldn't know - i never saw the need to set multiple "power levels" up. 

 

edit: steering endpoints, just go into the menu, press "ST EPA" and adjust it there, it's self explanatory. Give full lock on the wheel, and adjust the number down until the servo stops straining/binding.

That was helpful thanks. Yeah, I’ll investigate power control options later. Steering done and throttle trimmed. 

 

All really helpful tips m4, thank you. Now just need to figure out best place to mount the receiver. The old one was mounted on the side of the servo, which didn’t seem ideal. 

 

[m4inbrain]

No, i don't like that either. 

 

There's apparently an option for a receiver box, i think from the SCTE. I need to look into that as well - but if you want to do some research, there definitely is a receiver box that made for/fits the buggy (made for the SCTE, which is basically what the DB Pro is). 

[Graeme - Edinburgh]

Something like this. I've just stuck it down to the chassis for now. Would just need to find one the right size. Not fussed about having a Losi one. 

 

 

[Graeme - Edinburgh]

So I’m exploring whether or not it’s possible to get a FlySky Receiver that would enable my AVC; e.g. can I use an AVC receiver with my FlySky NB4? 

 

Does anyone know? Or, is it perhaps just not an option.

Pretty confident thats not possible im afraid

I’m kind of assuming that is the case. 

[m4inbrain]

Well.

 

It kinda is actually, but it's a hassle. AVC is just a gyro. Flysky recently released a micro receiver with added gyro function. 

 

But if you want to keep using your stuff, you can just get an external gyro, something like this.

No difference to AVC, just that AVC is already set up from factory usually. Doesn't need to be that particular one either, just google "rc car gyro" and pick your poison.
