setup of two RPM

[lorenzo(Italy)]

Hello
I have just mounted the brushless RPM sensor as master RPM,
and magnetic rpm in the fourth servos plug,
I'm using two pole brushless motor,
and two magnets on the same motor,

comparing the two rpm sensor I found two problem:
-- where I can set that the magnetic rpm is with two magnets?
-- the magnetic rpm fall down when reach 65000rpm

any suggestions?

thanks in advance,
Lorenzo

Simply turn one of them backwards. Works with my Futaba Governors. Same type Hall effect coil and magnets.

Good Luck. Hope this helps.

I have not understand!
can you make it clear?

Lorenzo,

Sorry, I was wrong. I found where to set the number of magnets.

Connect your recorder, then use the "Tools", "Calibrate Motor RPM" menu. Select, "I am using the Magnetic RPM sensor". The menu will change to let you select the number of magnets you are using.
Hope this helps,

the problem is that I use both RPM sensors!
and I need to specify the number of pole and the number of magnets.

thanks

I did not realize it would make a difference to use mixed RPM sensors but I can see where it might get weird.

I did not notice a setting for calibrating a second sensor of a different type but I may have missed something.

Does it say anything in the install sheet for the magnetic sensors about the magnets needing to face a specific direction?

If it does then you may be able to solve your problem this way.

I am not certian this will work. You can try "reversing" one of the two magnets to face the "wrong" way so the sensor will only "see" one of them and you will still have the counter-balancing effect.

It still may not read correctly. Maybe someone who has tried this can help.

Good luck

You need to use the same type of sensors at the moment, because there is no way to set them up with different ratios. They both use the same settings. This will be corrected in future software updates

I was afraid of that.......

Bill, can you confirm?

Hi Lorenzo,

That is correct. This feature is a planned software enhancement very soon, though.

good work and
Thanks for all you have already made.

Will it be possible to use for example a brushless sensor and an optical sensor? I installed both, but found no way to use it...

Hi worldofmaya,

Yes, it should be possible to use an optical as the primary sensor, and a brushless as secondary, once we have completed the software update.

That would be great!
Thanks a lot for this info,
