Dear fellow members.
I've got a Win Xp Pro and an Intel motherboard 845, Pentium IV 2.0
I also got one serial port only (COM 1) on which I connected the transmitter with a cable bundled with my RC Helicopter.
I bought a Cyclone helicopter (very close to a Dragonfly the seller told me)> The package came with a helicopter of course, one 6 channels transmitter (i dont know if its a PPM or CPM, no indication in the manual!), and a serial-transmitter cable (6pins) that connects to the back of the transmitter, and a CD to install a simulator (FMS version7).
I download the 2 alpha 8.5 version of FMS.
downloaded PPjoy and PICjoy.
I am configuring the softwares to read the COM 1 (9600 bauds) but dont have success yet.
PPjoy (ppcom) reads the COM1, but the "beep on serial input" mode bips brrrrrrrr brrrrrr brrrrrrrr instead of biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip. dont know if its an indication anyway.
PICjoy: says it found signal with 14/12/8 channels. depends of the position of the sticks on the transmitter: enabling meter gives me numbers from 248 to 255.
FMS Interface test: Interface disconnected or faulty. when i use ppjoy, i cannot use the FMS interface test
RS232 analyser says: COMM open (received values 248-255)
Analyser 31 : I dont understand what it does exactly
please help me make it work.
