1BADAIR . one should be N and one S. one is used for balance.

haha turn out, I lost one of the magnet. Do I really need to magnets for the sensor to work? Anyway, i already ordered another align sensor so that I can replaced the one that i currently have.

1BADAIR 1 wire will work but since i have no clue what the board is like i perfer to get ground from the same location also

Not sure if the endpoints are bad or not, I just realized that they were different from the first setup file. I wanted to make sure you remembered to check them after the reset. Yes, the endpoints are set to just short of binding.

I think you are ok without routing anything to the front sense you are running high voltage. Red wire only, to any opened servo port on the front.

Under the gov II menu. I noticed that your throttle endpoints are exactly -100,+100. You might want to make sure you set the max and min throttle settings again after you hit the reset button. Make sure your throttle and pitch curves are 0,50,100 or the numbers will be skewed. Your last file was not -100,+100.

Under the main menu, you have the Auto trim turned on. You might want to cut it off until you get the setup finished, then you can turn it on and do a trim flight if you need to. I have personally never needed to do this step.

Under your tail setup. What you have will work, but I have found that values in the 90’s make the tail work better. You can move the ball link out on the servo horn a notch to change this.

The default gov gain is set to 60. With my YS120, I found that 50 stopped the over speeding.

As for the align governor sensor, you want to move the red wire to and open servo port on the front. I run a 2S lipo and have no trouble whit it plugged into the sensor connection. But it can’t hurt to try. Remember that you will have gov sensor error in your event log when the governor is not engaged. The align governor sensor is easy to damage. It’s easy to hit it on something while you are installing it and damage something. They are only 10 dollars.

Hope this helps
For the align sensor, i thought i have to reroute 2 wires to the front , or just the red wire?
So my throttle endpoints are bad? As far as i understand it, the purpose of the endpoint is to limit how far the throttle servo travel to avoid binding correct?

1BADAIR Min gov is the lowest the gov will close the throttle to try to overcome overrev.
The more + the number the less it will close.

The two power wires have to be mOved to a servo port. Only the signal wire will be in the sense port
05-08-2012 11:08 AM
haha just did my set up again: here is the new file:
For some reason, I can not get the sensor to not giving out weird signals. So i want to switch the wire and connect them to an open servo port but im not sure which wire to switch. Im using an Align magnet sensor so which wires should i connect an open servo port to support the sufficient voltage?
05-08-2012 10:55 AM
haha what is % minim gov mean?
05-08-2012 09:48 AM
whittb Thanks, it works perfectly.
05-08-2012 09:26 AM
MrMel That's fully normal, just as if you load a file via LOAD it will not show correctly under RX
(depends on what default file was the program was programmed with)

Mini vs Fullsize

Try double-click on the file and it will work perfectly fine (excep t mac)

Let’s see if I can explain it a little better.

If I go into the V-bar program without a V-Bar unit plugged into the computer I can go into the gov 1 menu and reset the governor But the nitro option will not show up, only electric and disable show up. If I plug one of my spare V-bar units up the computer, then I can go into the gov 1 menu and the nitro option will show up.

I have it on my Work PC and it does the same thing. I also noticed that the gov 1 menu shows a mini V-bar unit without anything plug in to the computer, but when I plug in a V-bar unit, it shows a full size unit on the gov 1 menu.

I am running Windows 7. I tried to double click but it still does not work.

It’s no big deal, just thought I would mention it.

If you take the same file an load it while your nitro heli is plugged into the V-bar, then it will show up and a nitro gov setup.

Not sure what you mean, you can load a file in simulation mode but you need to double-click for things to change, "load" will do not do it.
On mac you need a little hacking done..

MrMel First of all, your setup seems to be a mix.

Select correct governor, press reset, re-make the settings on Governor I & II page.
Then adjust % min governor if needed. (lower it as suggested)

You have some governor sensor signal glitches in your event log. If this is happening while the governor is engaged then it could mean your sensor needs to be checked or replaced. You also have some channel input errors. I would take a look at your satellites receivers and make sure all the wire connections are good. I usually use silicon on all my connections to prevent a loose connector from causing an issue. Given the error times, I would say this happened during your flight.
Where do you see -50 on my governor minimum? Am i doing something wrong?
About the align governor, can you take a pic of how you mount you? because I get green light when the magnet is under the sensor. Should i switch the power leads to another open servo port?

My 2 cents

vbar gov 5.2 pro on a 700 nitro help

so I recently switch a yds913ds to a new ys120 and i've been bombard wih problems. So i was able to get the sensor to work by replacing the spektrum rev sensor with an Align magnet sensor . However, i am running into another problem.

So i was able to test fly my 700 today but seem like im having a problem with my gov. In normal mode, everything was ok but Once i switched to idle 1 ( which suppose to have a head speed of 1983) the motor gets up to speed, then slows down, rev up and down . My gov gain was originally at 75 but it was very bad then i gradually turn it down to 30 where it gets just a little bit better. The motor just revs up and down, up and down which in turn gives me unstable head speed. Do you guys have any idea how to fix this
