How to Set T16D/T12D to Control A560?
A560 comes with Byme-A flight controller. It can be controlled by different kinds of transmitters. Today I’m going to introduce how to set T16D/T12D to control A560. You can also check this video for how to use T16D/T12D together with Byme-A flight controller.
A560 RTF version comes with R8XM receiver. R8XM is compatible with T16D/T12D transmitter. So we use R8XM mini receiver and T12D as an example.
Here is Byme-A flight controller. Aileron servo is connected to channel 1, elevator servo to channel 2, Throttle, ESC to channel 3, rudder to channel 4. And SBUS/PPM channel is connected to SBUS/PPM channel of the receiver. So connect this channel to R8XM receiver directly. Make sure the positive and negative pole cannot be reversed. Here is the right connection.
Now, bind the receiver to the transmitter. Power on T12D. Enter Receiver Setting–protocol. R8XM supports FHSS V1 and V2 protocol, but it does not support FHSS V2.1 protocol. So I can select V1 or V2 protocol for R8XM receiver.
You can refer to the chart on the screen to set the correct protocol for your receiver.
I select FHSS V2 protocol for R8XM receiver.
Connect battery to A560. (Note: Please remove the propeller when setting A560 to ensure the safety.)
Long press binding button of R8XM. The signal tower on the screen of T12D indicates the binding is successful.
The LED of R8XM is blue/purple, which means it is SBUS working mode now.(If the LED is red, please short press the binding button twice to switch to blue/purple.)
Byme-A supports standard SBUS or PPM signal. So they can work together.
Now. Set the transmitter.
1.Enter Advanced settings-TYPE. Select fixed wing.
2.Enter General settings-REVERSE. Set the direction of channel 3, throttle to REVERSE. And other channels to Normal. (When using transmitters from other brands, there is no need to follow this requirement.)
3.The flight modes of Byme-A flight controller are switched by channel 5 and channel 7 by default. We need to assign a 3 way switch for channel 5, and a 2 way switch for channel 7. Enter General settings–AUX-CH. I assign SWA, a 3 position switch to control channel 5.
And SWD, a 2 position switch to control channel 7.
Set other switches for channel 9.
By the way, after setting the switches, I need to enter Transmitter settings-switches settings. Check and make sure SWA is a 3 position switch and SWD is a 2 position switch.
After setting the transmitter, power on A560. Keep it still. The self-check is done.
1.Attitude calibration. Place A560 on the ground to calibrate the attitude. It is advised to lift the head of A560 with about 20 degree angle for beginner to calibrate it. So I install the landing gear and place it on the ground. Because there is about 20 degree angle. Then push the two joysticks like this, for about 3 seconds. The green LED of Byme-A flashes once mean the calibration completed. It is also normal for the control surface to swing or the motor to rotate once at this time.
Then, I’ll Introduce the flight modes of Byme-A.
Byme-A V2.0 has 6 flight modes. We have already assigned SWA and SwD to switch the flight modes. Refer to the picture for it. Push SwD up, it is stabilize mode when SWA up, Gyro mode when SWA in the center and Manual mode when SWA down. In manual mode, there is no gyro function, so the control surface won’t move when you turn the aircraft.
Push SwD down, it is Multi-rotor Vertical mode when SWA up, Acrobat mode when SWA in the center and Fixed Wing Vertical mode when SWA down.
Note: The value range of channel 5 and channel 7 corresponding to the flight mode is shown in the picture here. When using transmitters from other brands, please refer to it to switch the flight modes.
2.Test gyro phase. Switch to Stabilize mode. Hold A560 and turn it to check the movement of the control surface of aileron, elevator and rudder. If the gyro phase is reversed, please press the button on Byme-A to change gyro phase.
3.Test transmitter phase. Switch to manual mode. Push the joystick of aileron, elevator and rudder, and check the movement of the control surface. If the movement of the control surface of the corresponding channel is reversed, enter REVERSE menu of the transmitter to adjust the transmitter phase of the corresponding channel.
After you have done all the above preparations, you can install the propeller and fly A560 outside.
