Hi all,
I just got a Colco thunderbird 6 channel RC Tx. I wanted to fly FMS only i dont have the cable. I happened to stumble on SpamrtPropoPlus ( i highly recomend)and downloaded there program and linked my radio as noted. It depends on the ppm singnal being carried to the audio mic feed with two lines. there it detects the signals and you can configure and play. its more realistic and all. The problem i have is that the radio i have has a PS/2 female pin in the back that is a 6 pin mini din connector like this

on the site they have several connection methods for each Tx brand but mine was not of em unfortunately.
i tried to connect the wires to my mic jack but didnt get the required signal. it does have a signal but im not sure if i will need to short some wires on the Tx outpot side or i need to couple the data and clock as on input for ppm etc.
the heli starts flying uncontrollably when i connect to fms and on some connections i get some action due to stick movement but not for long.
any way of detecting the ppm signal is really appreciated ( Note i have winscope installed )
thnx in advance
