I'm rearranging everything and reloading all the Sbus servos from scratch to see it helps. Too bad I already have the tail servos already shielded with the aluminum tape, but I knew at some point I will have to chase stuff and maybe re-program. Thanks for all your help Bob. I'll keep you updated. It will take me a while, but I enjoy this type of puzzles. 😁

Reload them and re-asign them in the transmitter. I'm trying to avoid wiring the servos into the gyro. If I do that it will be pointless to run sbus with extra wires into a gyro then just run a single wire from the gyro into the receiver. I'm trying to wire the gyro to the sbus port and get the servo signal from an sbus 2 hub into the sbus 2 port at the receiver. If I can't do that with the Cortex Pro then I'm getting something else. There's unit out there that can do that. Don't wanna mention brands because this is a Cortex Pro forum.

It will NOT work that way.
The gyro is only designed to be used two ways.
You can feed the gyro two Rx inputs using serial bus then the outputs from the gyro can go to a powerbox type device and then PWM out put to the servos.
or
a single serial-bus input to the gyro with pwm outputs to the primary flight surfaces
you can use SBus to drive servos NOT going through the gyro
good luck

In the serial in/serial output mode the Cortex Pro (CP) will output all channels via S Bus. You can then use a S Bus hub to connect your servos. The input to the CP must be S Bus. Not S Bus 2.

No photo readily available but the setup is simple and shown in the full manual.
One or two rx (set to S Bus) are connected to CP ports A/B. Note that if only one rx is used it must be connected to CP port A. This is what sets the serial in/serial out mode.
Do the “Input Signal” teach in.
CP ports 5/6 will now output S Bus.

F1 - Checked the long manual and it work. But the surfaces are backwards. Connected A into regular Sbus, then CP 5 into the Sbus hub. Powered up the Gyro and followed the surface program sequence. All surfaces were programed and switch established. Trying to set surfaces right. Trying the program sequence backwards. I guess the hard part has been taken care off!

(1) You are moving the TX sticks the wrong way during the programming sequence.
(2) You have the mounting orientation set incorrect VS the way the CP is physically mounted in the airplane. Note 1: If this is the case DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS BY INTENTIONALLY MOVING THE TX STICKS THE WRONG WAY DURING THE PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE! Note 2 The CP will be reset to factory default (including mounting orientation) each time the Input Signal is taught.

If the surfaces are reversed when you move the TX sticks you need to correct this in the TX. If the CP movements are reversed there can only be two reasons.
(1) You are moving the TX sticks the wrong way during the programming sequence.

I got it all figured out. Went into the computer program, set up the gyro orientation, then initiate the signal teaching process, then power off/on (jumper on gyro). Did the surface programming sequence and now is reacting properly to the inputs. Only thing I did was set it up in low rates. Do it needs to be done in high rates?
Thanks Danny!! You are the man.
#766
Stick input teach in should be done on high rates.
And please remember, the system will be reset to factory default (including the mounting orientation) each time you teach the Input Signal. Not a problem if you have the CP mounted in the default orientation which is upright with the connector socket towards the front of the airplane. Any other mounting orientation will need this reset via the software AFTER the Input Signal is taught.

I set my gyro up with a program mix . I set it at 30% gear up and 50% gear down to start using the gear switch. With futaba In program mix you can set it up to have a master to turn it off and a dial to increase it or decrease it. The reality most of the time my 30/50 just works fine. Dan

Axon to Cortex Pro
Hi, just wondering if it’s possible to convert an Axon to Cortex Pro, hardware is exactly the same, but I don’t know if it’s possible to flash the cortex firmware into an Axon
any help would be appreciated

Helped a friend of mine setup a CP with 2 Rsats and a 900mhz with CB200 in dual path mode on the Jeti. Everything worked well on test flight and we set the gain in flight, on the next flight the CP would only give us a flashing white light on startup and would not give the double bump for the control surfaces. We did try learning the setup procedure too, does fine there but same problem once you shut down and switch on again.
What are we missing here?
