2ABXHVBCRX30VBar EVO

VBAR EVO Quick Start Guide Express-Firmware Welcome to VBar EVO! VBar EVO is an innovative product setting new standards for model helicopters in terms of flight performance and program- ming capacity. Features: • Easy setup and fine adjustments can be done with any VBar Control radio. • Ready for online updates as they become available. • Built-in Governor for electric model helicopters (IC powered models require the Pro firmware). • Fully compatible with VBar Control. For setup using VBar control, please refer to your VBar Control manual or to online help in VBar Con- trol EVO/Touch. FCC Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital de- vice, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the device. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm / 7.87 in from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-users must be provided with transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC ID 2ABXHVBCRX30 Safety Instructions An R/C controlled helicopter is not a toy! While moving, the rotor blades pose a serious danger to persons and things. You must obey all safety instructions of the manufacturer for operation of your helicopter. VBar is not an autopilot! VBar may be installed in model helicopters suitable for flying without flybar. During installation and operation you must follow all instructions given in the software of the radio and in manuals. VBar may not be operated in wet conditions (high humidity or rain). If the helicopter shows vibrations during flight, operation is to be stopped immediately. Do not continue flying until the cause for vibration has been eliminated. • Disconnect motor wires or remove the pinion gear to avoid acci- dental spooling up of the helicopter while setting up the speed con- troller (ESC), or when loading unknown setup, as they may contain different speed controller settings as you have on your heli! • Make sure you use a sufficient power supply. • Fail safe will be set automatically by VBar/VBar Control (motor off, servos on hold position). VBar EVO and high servo frequencies Your VBar NEO can—with update to Pro or Pro+Rescue— drive suitable servos with higher frequencies than before. Similar to overall gyro gain (too high = oscillation, wobbles, shaking), a wrong setting can degrade the flight performance, or even endanger/destroy the model. Please make sure you read the following tutorial before changing the default settings! https://www.vstabi.info/node/2455 1. Items needed for first installation On first installation, you will need: • VBar EVO with built in VBar Control VLink Receiver and a VBar Control radio • Power supply (BEC or receiver battery). • Helicopter with servos installed, but not yet connected! Only digital servos allowed! • Pitch Gauge (swash plate levelling tool) • For updates and extensions of VBar EVO you need the VBar Control Manager software which you can download conveniently from www.vstabi. info. Contents VBar EVO with built-in VBar Control Receiver, USB C wire, Gyro Pad. 2. Update and Registration Before beginning a setup, register and update your VBar Con- trol and VBar EVO. Open the VBar Control Manager, connect to your computer using the USB C wire, only then power up your VBar. The LED will flash white. The update will be performed automatically if necessary. During the update, the LED will light up yellow briefly, then start flashing green. Disconnect the USB wire and power cycle your VBar, and it will start up for normal operation, flashing blue during initialization, then red-green. If you want to use the VBar Control Manager again (e.g. to access the App Store), just power cycle your VBar. It will start up in update mode again as long as it is connected to your computer. Click on Applications in the VBar Control Manager to access the App Store, where you can register your new VBar to your MikadoID with one click of your mouse. Perform an update of your VBar Control, too. 3. Preparing the Helicopter First you need to assemble the helicopter in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Flybarred rotor systems are not supported. It is very important that you assemble the helicopter mechanically correct with exact symmetry and geometry. This is to ensure that you do not run into problems resulting from mechanical inconsistencies later. 4. Bind procedure, programming VBar will go into bind mode after approx. 10 seconds. The LED will flash green-red to indicate it‘s ready for binding. Refer to your VBar Control Manual to bind your VBar to your VBar Control Transmitter. 5.
