AR7200BX and USB PC programming?

breathe rc · 04-25-2012, 12:57 AM

Ok, I have 2 AR7200BX. One on my Protos, and one on my Srimok 90N. The Protos didnt take much to get flying very nice. The Srimok on the other hand wasnt so pleasant. Had vibe issues on first few flight attempts, and heli kept pulling to the left. Finally added some zeal tape, and that did the trick. With the Protos, there wasnt a need to adjust the gains, much, if any. The Srimok is taking more adjustments to get it right. All this being said, basically to ask, how do you program the AR7200BX via PC? I downloaded the BeastX software, but its telling me they aren't compatible. So is programming via PC not an option at this time? Or am I just doing something wrong?

No, pc programming is not an option at this time for the 7200bx.

A couple of weeks supposedly microsettings for ar7200bx should be available. Yes using beastx usb. Keep an eye on horizon site but I sure it will be posted here as soon as available.

1) There is no microsettings software to allow you to fine tune some of the flight parameter features. These can be button and stick programmed, but with the microsettings software you have much finer control resolution, and not just three of four preprogrammed values.

Working on catching this up... Not a permanent situation.

2) At the moment the firmware releases are effectively the same, but if MB release V4, or more, then as it stands the AR7200BX will be left behind, and the performance will differ more and more.

Assuming V4 may be coming at some point.... the AR7200BX will be kept up to date (not left behind!). It is possible that there maybe be up to a few weeks of delay, but maybe not.... It is presently up to date.

So far no one can extract any information out of HH as to if and when the microsettings and update software will become available.

Working on it.... Hope with-in a couple of weeks... Understand you can wait and see!

Personally until this is resolved I would not buy one, as who knows what wonderful features might be available in V4, V17, etc, lol.

Cheers

Yeah, I chose the AR7200BX because I didn't want to have to buy a RX too. The AR7200BX is my first experience with BeastX, and u love it, even without the PC option. I've tried 3G, 3GX, SK720, and Vbar, and the AR7200BX is the one I like most. I always had my PC in the field to adjust my Vbars, and I never got it to where I loved it. Actually crashed my Heli twice from vibe issues with the Vbar. I had vibe issues with the AR7200BX, and it was still controllable, and I was able to land and fix the problem.
Anyway, hope the PC option becomes available soon. I would like to see how much better I can get it to fly.

Hi,

i just started with a 300X and the ar7200bx receiver on it
I'm a newbie to this but i like pc interfaces so i found this:
http://www.horizonhobby.co.uk/aeroon...face_sheet.pdf

Actually i was looking on the spectrum website.
I don't know if it is only for firmware upgrade or also usable for changing the settings

breathe rc · 07-27-2012, 10:11 PM

No that is just for software updates. Haven't checked lately, but last I checked the AR7200BX wasn't capable of being setup thru PC. If someone knows if that has changed, please let us know.

Any chance that you could adjust it with the computer yet?
