JR Buddy Cord

[BigGrover]

Will the JR buddy cord work as a cable for a JR radio to run FMS?

[Steve Lewin]

It will if it fits your soundcard and you're intending to use SmartPropoPlus.

Dont know if you've tried this or not yet, but I set mine up last night and it works AWESOME!!

Now if I could just remember how to FLY my plane I might be able to avoid that obstacle some call the ground...

When you talk about your sound card are you talking about onboard sound on your PC or a sound card?

[Steve Lewin]

So long as your PC onboard sound thingy has mic/line socket(s) to plug into it will work.

Check your mike signal with the thermometer:



Simply connect the cable, and watch. Later, you can click on the icons to discover other functions.
Your signal must be a PPM.
Do not install smartpropoplus for this software, it works on its own.
If the result is good, you may use smartpropoplus with FMS.

Hi phildc, I set up my JR radio to PPM and tried the thermometer program on all of the audio jacks, but it doesn't show any movement or changes, any suggestions?
Thanks Charles

You could have a look to the audio menu of Windows (loudspeaker icon, or sndvol32.exe). Il your mike is not muted and the volume is high enough, you should be able to hear your transmitter signal in the LS. Please note that selecting 'mute' does not affect the signal transmission to programs, only to the loudspaeakers.

I loaded the above recorder and I get it to work fine. All the controls work and I can program them to the correct channels. However FMS still does not work at all?? The Maping showes all 4 lines in full blue. The cal. will not move at all. Please let me know what I'm doning wrong.
Thanks,

"If the result is good, you may use smartpropoplus with FMS."

Have you loaded SmartPropoPlus ?

Steve

[Speed Freak]

Yes I loaded it and it recoginizes my transmitter but nothing more.
Thank you for the help.

[Speed Freak]

I give up! I have tried everything I can find to do and it still doesn't work. Everything shows to work untill I start up FMS then nothing. The cal. shows all the lines in full blue and nothing I do changes it.
JUST MY LUCK!

Hi Speed Freak,
I have JR 7202 radio.
Yesterday I installed FMS 2 Beta 7, after that I installed SPP 3.3.3. after connecting buddy cord I was unable to use my radio as in calibration of FMS, all the channels in full blue, I can see the signals in PPM Thermometer and in winscope but I cant use it in FMS as SPP is not recognizing the signals. i think this is the same issue u r also facing.
I went through Step-by-Step (FMS) section on http://www.smartpropoplus.com then I realize that FILTER menu is missing in my SPP Console.
After doing few things this menu became available and after selecting one of the options I was successfully able to use my JR radio.
But for some reason I had to uninstall and again install FMS and now again FILTER menu has disappeared and that is why I cant again configure my radio.
Worst thing is that I don’t remember how FILTER menu appeared.
So my suggetion is that check if this menu is available, if not then you need to do some config, i dont remember how does it appear.
see if this can help u, and if any how this menu apears then kindly let me know so that i can also use it for my JR....

This is probably a bug in SmartPropoPlus that a few people has recently informed me of.
In one case, I was told that there was a Webcam that seemed to cause the problem. Removing it fixed the problem.

Open SPP First then FMS and the "filter" showes up. I still can't get it to work.
