Multigyro Csx - Multiplex Cockpit SX 7 Mode D'emploi

14. MULTIGYRO CSX

The COCKPIT SX can be fitted with the supplementary
MULTIGYRO CSX module.
The COCKPIT SX 12 is fitted with this module as standard.
The unit is a gyro / position sensor, which can be used eit-
her to control servos directly, or optionally to switch various
functions. It is also possible to use it as input in servo mixers
and transmitter control mixers.
The "Gyro" set-up menu for the MULTIGYRO CSX can be
 found in the Main menu under the Trainer symbol.
Pages 1 / 2 display the current values for the position sen-
sors for the axes X, Y, Z and the gyro sensors Ax, Ay, Az.
The position sensors X, Y, Z behave in a similar manner to a
spirit level: they react to the absolute position of the trans-
mitter in space.
The gyro sensors Ax, Ay, Az react to acceleration and torque
(angular travel): the movements around each axis are
summed. Each sensor also has a Return value which deter-
mines how fast it returns to the Centre position.
Base setting:
· Hold the transmitter in a comfortable attitude, as if you were
actively controlling a model.
· Press the "Calibrate gyro" field to set the centre positions to
suit your normal attitude. (The Z-axis is set to a non-central
position; it will change when you set the transmitter upright).
· The sensor calibration is stored in the active model memory.

Usage:
The output of the Gyro and position sensors can be sent
directly to a servo channel, e.g. for controlling a gimbal.
Simply assign the appropriate axis in the "Servo assign-
ment" menu.
A further possible use is in conjunction with transmitter con-
trol mixers and servo mixers; in this case the sensors can
be used as inputs.
The gyro and position sensors can also be used as switches.
For example, speech output for a Timer or Telemetry can be
started by moving the transmitter itself.
On page 2 / 2 you can set the corresponding switching
thresholds by adjusting the orange bars, and select the swit-
ching characteristics of the gyro switches. The axis position
displays feature two colours: they change from red to green
to indicate that the set threshold has been exceeded, i.e. the
associated switch is now active.
If you select the Toggle function, the switched state is retai-
ned once the threshold is exceeded; it is only reset when the
threshold is exceeded again.
Example:
Timer 1 is to be spoken when the transmitter is set upright.
Set the threshold for "Z" as illustrated above.
Move to Timer 1 in the Timer menu, and assign the switch
"Position Z On" under "Start using".
Timer 1 is spoken as soon as you set the transmitter upright.
