Walkera Transmitter - Web Site - Help setting up

[Allan Oz]

I was given this web site to help set up the Walkera transmitter. I have a #35 helicopter.



I have done as instructed however the FMS program comes up with something like " invalid sync byte . . . "

Anyone have any suggestions? Don't know if it is the cable or the transmitter.

Hi,
I tried the same and basically downloaded software which makes the RC look like a game paddle. However, I couldn't get it working properly and someone pointed me to this site:-

which explains how to set FMS up and has a special section on configuring the helicopter stick. I got rid of the game paddle emulation program and everything works OK. My software and FMS config settings are:- Windows XP Home SP2, COM1 port, FMS 2.0 Beta 7, Serial PIC-interface, 19200 Baud/0xFF Sync. The important bit was configuring the lower 4 options (Tail, Nick, Roll, Pitch) to my RC channel settings. It didn't help that the instructions that came with the RC were completely wrong. Looks like Left and Right got lost in translation. Never mind, 'works now. I suggest you forget about special emulations. Just bung it onto a COM port and check out the above web site.

Also for me it doesn't work !

How about using ?
It works nicely as-is, and you might expect some improvements later.
I'm working on it.

I have the same problem with my Walkera 22E and PPjoy/Zhen Hua. Bougth my Walkera 22E a few weeks ago. Seams like the problem is the new 6 ch. transmitter from Dragon Fly/Zhen Hua.

Get error message "Invalid sync byte 0.." (Number flickers)

Seams like the transmitter are sending "wrong" or unstable signals. Also tried serial port directly to FMS (not using PPjoy) through serial port and different setting on the COM port (9600/19200, 8, none, 1, XonXoff/hardware) both on win2000 and winXP, -nothing works!!!

Anyone got any info from Zhen Hua or other work-arounds??
