Blade cp or honey bee radio cable for Reflex..

[cobrapilot]

I orderd a cable that fits both my honey bee radio and blade cp radio. The manufacture (reflex) told me to buy it at mrc's web site. They dont have the cable I need for my blade or honey bee radio. Will any of these work with mine, http://www.modelrectifier.com/search/reflex.asp or is there any where else i could buy one that fits with my purple stick interface?

Search these forumd for "Blade CP" and "interface", this has been discussed many times.

E-flite Blade CP transmitter and its twin brothers E-Sky HB and Twister CP have non-disableable CCPM, so, none of the regular interfaces including all interfaces for Reflex can work with these transmitters.
I'm aware of only one interface, which can un-mix CCPM and send the true stick deflections to the computer--it's CCPM interfaces sold by milehighwings.com. Unfortunately, these interfaces won't help with Reflex, but you can use them as a secondary interface for AeroFly Pro/Deluxe.

I hope you find this info helpful.

But what about this one. This is still on order for me. http://www.reflex-sim.dyndns.org/reflex-sim/shop/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27_34&products_id=84
This works with the stick interface.

Ordering from Germany is rather expensive. Please cancel that order and get the cable from MRC. Far cheaper and faster.

I have been through this issue with my HB-CP2 and have found the answer here:

http://www.milehighwings.com/usb_cables.htm

All of the USB interfaces appear to be compatible with G2/3 and reflex:

http://www.milehighwings.com/pic_cables.htm

The PICs are 1/2 the cost and compatible with ClearView...

Aleksandra at milehigh has been extremely helpful and the BladeCP and HB-CP2 transmitters are slightly different and interfaces are NOT interchangeable with the PIC-serial anyways, dont know about the USB although I'm sure she could answer that question.

I'm runnin the PIC-serial for the HB-CP2 with ClearView, $30 for each and it appears just as functional and realistic as reflex or G3 for a fraction of the price:

Stefan at ClearView has an e-powered micro heli already included and is currently working on a fine tuned TRex and BladeCP/HB-CP2 profiles for 'soon to be' future release.

That seems better then the one im ordring, but the one im ordering from reflex ataches to the proper purple reflex interface. Will this one work with reflex E-flite Blade CP and ESky "Channels Six" CCPM? Im asking this because all my joy stick's with usb's dont work with reflex at all. Will the E-flite Blade CP and ESky "Channels Six" CCPM work with reflex? I have to be sure of this because what if I cancled my other order and the one at another web site dosent work. Also which is the best one for me to buy for my blade cp?

Theres also another cable maid for the blade cp. http://www.milehighwings.com/pic_cables.htm
I looked at the combatibilty chart and it says that the reflex and the reflex xtr sims will not work with any of the cables, and I need it for reflex xtr
http://www.milehighwings.com/sim_compatibility.htm Infact I dont think any of these will work with reflex xtr, they say it dosent on the web.

Thanks for showing me this website.

They dont have the right cable. Look at this link from mrc. http://www.modelrectifier.com/search/reflex.asp None of these looks like a blade cp cable.

cobra,

You are absolutely correct with the reflex not being supported by the milehighwings interfaces, It appears that the reflex compatible interfaces can likely only come from them to work properly.

If you have an available serial port and $60, you can get the PIC cable from milehighwings and ClearView from Stephan (which I have done), IMO by far the best return on investment I have made in this hobby to date.

yeah but the reason i bought the reflex xtr is because I want to use it. Why would I buy Another simulator. Besides I still have that shipment from germany, ill wait for it. Thanks for the help.

But what about this one.
The cable shown at that page is just an adapter (i.e., it only connects a different plug to the same interface) for 4-channel FP helicopter transmitters. Reflex should have been more specific to prevent people from buying wrong stuff!

FP helie transmitters don't have CCPM, so, they can be used with regular interfaces. If you connect your transmitter using this adapter, you will observe inter-channel mixing--moving one stick will cause changes of several channel signals!

O wow ok. Yeah your right reflex should be more clear on this. I have a esky 4 chanal as well. I was hopeing to use my blade cp on it, its ok. Im getting it from reflex that plugs in to my reflex xtr interface.
