AR636

[xviper]

Ive been scrolling around here and cant find an exact answer. Can the ar636 be used with an older dsmx dx6i tx? And i found an ar630 i believe, too. I want gyro stabilization receiver in a new pnp dynam bf110. What are some options? Thank you

I don't see why not. The 636 still has to be programmed via smart phone and I think the 630 can be programmed in a similar manner (perhaps also via PC), although "forward programming" is easier (6i can't do that). They are still just DSMX receivers. The only limitation might be whether or not you've got the correct switches on your 6i for selecting various flight modes.

I have a dx6i and ar636,636b,6600t. It works with them just fine. Here is the 636b in action with dx6i

The horizon/spektrum software doesnt expose the settings you need to eliminate that awful throttle/elevator mix (seriously i dont know why they insist on this, down elevator at low throttle on a jet? But anyway). AR636 has something similar to 'forward programming' but only for adjusting AS3X gains and only if they are set up as relative gains (by default they are set to absolute in their BNF models).

You'll need the SPMA3065 USB cable, the spektrum programmer software (from horizon) aka SPS and a third party application called SAFE Model Builder (should be able to find via google, it's hosted on a *different* forum) aka SMB

The workflow is to export the .srm configuration file using SPS, open that .srm file in SMB, eliminate the THR/ELE mix, save, then reimport the modified .srm back into SPS, which will then write it to the receiver.

Screenshot shows the relevant setting in SMB.

Hey This is the closest I got to having my questions answered , I just posted this in a the mirage 2000 Thread. DO let me know if it makes sense to you....

Hi Community,
I just got done with the setup on my Brand New Mirage 2000, it looks so much fun.(Tiger Eyes).
I am trying to repurpose a Spektrum AR636B from an eflite Viper. I was able to get the controls and Gyro directions all working right.
As I cannot change the wing type on a BNF AR636B RX. I cheated and flashed the Rx with the Eflite 2m Opterra file to get to elevon settings.
I was able to get all the corrections working as they should by adjusting the reverse and port assignment settings in the Rx through the Bluetooth dongle and the As3x app.
RX Setup :
Wing type elevon with rudder, Opterra Setup file.
Bound in safe mode
Switch - AUX2
Priority 160 across
Heading hold - Defaulting to 28 %on pitch and roll and 0% on Yaw (Maybe because opterra wing has no rudder )
TX NX10 - aircraft type Dual Aileron, Normal Tail.
Flight Mode (FM) through Telemetry Menu, AS3X activated on switch B Aux2 .

I am having trouble with the Flight modes. I can change the gain for pitch, roll and yaw through the app. My TX (NX10) also reflects the changes. But even with all the gains at 0% through the as3x App, I still get roll and pitch correction. Maybe because I cannot change the heading hold. It remains fixed at 28 %
I have yaw at 5% on 0% gain on different flight mode and that seems to work, No yaw correction at 0%, yaw correction at 5%. Maybe because I cannot change the heading hold in Deactivated for rudder on opterra. It remains fixed at 28 % for roll and pitch.


Is there a way to setup the 3 flight modes so I can have the following:
FM1 - Gains 0 % (Regular Rx, no gyro correction) Gyro/As3x OFF
FM2- Nominal Gyro correction (roughly 20%) for maiden and tune up flights
FM3- Nominal Gyro correction more pitch correction
Also I can go into the NX10 telemetry and activate AS3X and assign the left trim tab to remote gain. How do I set it up on the different flight modes and be able to remotely control the gain.

Do I need heading hold and priority programmed if all I need is a basic gyro.

I have spent 2 night fighting with this. I am half way tempted to toss the Ar636B and setup a Rx without a gyro , hook up a hobby eagle Gyro and put the gain and mode on a rocker knob and a switch and call it good. But it will be nice to be done with the As3x Programming nightmare for good.

Thanks.
And my apologies if this should have been in a Spektrum/Ar636B Thread.
