Fiorotti Timer
Vitalis Pilkionis:
Has anyone got new version of the timer with separate sensitivity adjustment for acceleration and deceleration?
Is there any way to upgrade firmware without sending it to Brasil?
Ken Culbertson:
I am considering using a cheaper ESC for a project. Will the timer work correctly with the BadAss 35? The project will be a twin and the prospect of putting 2 Spin 33's in it has my wallet vibrating.
Ken
Oh - can someone answer Vitalis question in the last post?
Ken Culbertson:
OK, the wallet survived the Spin 33 dual ESC's. Now I have a specific Fiorotti question that I have posed on other threads but I am hoping to get an answer from the Fiorotti community. If you are using two ESC's in a twin it is suggested that the following be done:
#1 The On/Off switch for EXC#2 be left in the Off position permanently.
#2 The power lead (red wire) from the #2 BEC be cut.
Is this correct? Inquiring minds want to know. And:
#3 Will the ESC or Timer be damaged if the Red Wire is Not cut?
#4 Does the Jeti box connected to the timer #3 set of pins (bottom set) get it's power from the center pin?
Ken
Oh - still waiting for an answer to Vitalis question below. FYI I have one of the newer timers but have not used it yet.
Paul Richardson1:
I have a question about the G Force parameter settings?
With the version 6.5 timer there is adjustment for both positive and negative, The "I" and "D" values.
Which value controls positive G forces ? I want the power to increase more pull ups. (I find the instructions not very clear on this.)
Overhead power is fantastic with the nose up parameter. I just want to understand the timer more.
Also can anybody explain the G number in the top R/H corner? how and what does this parameter change?
Thanks :-)
Fred Underwood:
You can have Increase (boost) and Decrease (braking) RPM at your set values. On the older versions, there was one value, so the same amount of Increase and Decrease. A good starting place is 5 for each and then adjust to your style.
The actual number for G-force, the value in the R corner, is calibrated when you fly in the first 3 -3.5 laps. Flight should be level while calibrating, noted by a rapidly flashing light. Recalibration is done in those first laps automatically if you change the set or base RPM.
In V6.5, you can manually set a G-force which will also be recalibrated back to the timer when changing set RPM. IF you change the setting for G-force manually, then the timer will try to get to that setting and will adjust its rpm as needed, meaning that it may need to change your rpm even in level flight. That could mean different lap time and battery usage. My recommendation for now is to leave it to the timer to calibrate, don't manually set it.
