    Smile throttle control problem

    Hi
    I powered my system with one main battery. when i powered the system i hear the beeps from the esc but i have not throtle response.
    olso i try to set the PCM FS point and try to set the Throttle Fail Safe but
    there changed the value only from 2.09(i thing) to 0.89. i moved the throttle stick to other posision but nothing was changed.
    All servos working well with move the sticks only the throttle not respond.

    What is the differenses betwen the RVOSD PPM and PCM mode?
    I have a futaba 149dp pcm reciver and working in pcm mode on my plane, which mode have to select on RVOSD?

    you say:
    -Set your throttle stick to 105% of normal range.
    are you mean the end poind possition?

    -On the receiver, set throttle channel failsafe to 110%.
    are you mean on the transmitter? there i cannot set it to 110%
    i have a futaba ff9 and it goes to 98% maximum.

    Please for your help. if it is possible more simple for easy understanding.

    What is AHI?

    Thank you

    You need to set the failsafe to a value that is outside of normal operating range (so you wont accidentally activate failsafe in normal flight)

    You can do this by extending your servo movement to 125% (in the Futaba transmitter), then set the failsafe at 125%, for example.
    Then go back and adjust the servo movement to 100% maximum (or just under 125%)

    Sorry forthe question but I have to set the failsafe to a value on full open throttle or full close?

    The failsafe value should be greater than full open, or less than full close.

    So that the RVOSD will see this failsafe value when your RC link is lost - not in normal operation.

    ok thank you.
    so today i made a much off testings. I put a FM reciver and try to power the system at new. everything is working exept the throttle. I hear the beeps from the esc but i have not throtle response.It seems that the RVOSD does not recognise the throttle input i think.
    Olso I cant change the value on the throttle channel failsafe. It seems like it has not a connection cable. I have connect the cable from the throttle chanel on the reciver to throttle input on the RVOSD , and the RVOSD throttle output to the ESC. Is it right?
    Olso I have connect the aux cable.
    But the motor is not turn.
    Have you any idea what is wrong?
    Thank you

    What is the model of your receiver?
    RVOSD can work with receivers that have no outputs if RC link its lost or that can set a failsafe value on throttle channel.
