Did that, servo still goes to wide open when tx is shut off with rx on (simulated signal loss).

Did it.. When tx is turned off to simulate signal loss with rx on throttle goes to wide open even though bind was done with throttle closed.

We must be missing something super simple, some step skipped or something. Please forgive me if this is redundant, but please do each step exactly per below, don't jump ahead and don't do anything not on the list.

1) Start with everything turned off.
2) Insert bind plug in rx.
3) Power up rx. Servos might jump as power is applied due to noise on signal leads.
4) Verify that LEDs on rx are blinking rapidly to indicate Bind Mode.
5) Prove to yourself that there's no signal to the throttle servo. You can twist it freely. (NOTE: Throttle servo must be plugged into THRO port on the receiver).
6) Move throttle stick to low/off throttle position.
7) Hold bind button/switch on tx as you power it up.
8) Verify that LED on rx changes blinking, goes off, then comes on solid.
9) Verify that you have control of all servos including throttle.
10) Verify that throttle servo is in the low-power position with the stick in low-power position. If not, change reversing switch then power all down and repeat from step 1.
11) Move throttle stick to high-power position. Verify that throttle servo is now in high-power position. If not, stop and tell us what's happening.
12) Turn off transmitter.
13) Verify that throttle moves to low-power position (where it was bound).

Please follow that EXACTLY. Don't add or remove any steps AT ALL.

Thanks.

You fergot to remove the bind plug

Added 8a)

Iibby was watching you !

Good catch, guys, thanks.

arf! arf!

Thank you too, Libby!

Andy

1) Start with everything turned off. Done
2) Insert bind plug in rx. Done
3) Power up rx. Servos might jump as power is applied due to noise on signal leads. Done
4) Verify that LEDs on rx are blinking rapidly to indicate Bind Mode. Yes
5) Prove to yourself that there's no signal to the throttle servo. You can twist it freely. (NOTE: Throttle servo must be plugged into THRO port on the receiver). No signal
6) Move throttle stick to low/off throttle position. Done7) Hold bind button/switch on tx as you power it up. Done
8) Verify that LED on rx changes blinking, goes off, then comes on solid. Blinks, Off, Solid. As soon as bound throttle moves to full open. Release bind switch on tx and throttle moves to propper closed position Throttle reverse switch is in correct location as noted in # 9 and 10
8a) Remove bind plug> Done
9) Verify that you have control of all servos including throttle. All servos, including throttle working and working in propper direction
10) Verify that throttle servo is in the low-power position with the stick in low-power position. If not, change reversing switch then power all down and repeat from step 1. Verified
11) Move throttle stick to high-power position. Verify that throttle servo is now in high-power position. If not, stop and tell us what's happening. Verified
12) Turn off transmitter. Done
13) Verify that throttle moves to low-power position (where it was bound). Negative, Throttle servo actually moves about 3 degrees past fully open

Also did the following. Repeated all steps except closed throttle prior to power off tx and throttle fully opened when tx was turned off. Repeated all steps with a different tx with exact same results. Repeated all steps with a different servo on throttle with the exact same results. Reapeted all steps with the throttle servo reverse switch in opposite direction, Servo went to fully closed at bind, when bind switch was released sevo whent to full open, throttle operation was backwards (full forward closes throttle, full back opens throttle, turned off transmitter and throttle closed.

Can you show a photograph indicating which port your throttle servo is plugged into?

Step 8 indicates that it is plugged into the wrong channel, or that you have a mix on that switch to the throttle.

Can you attach the SPM file for this model too?

Thanks.

Andy

What is an SPM file? The throttle servo is plugged in to the throttle chanel (first one next to bind/data on AR6210) the throttle works the throttle servo so it is obviuosly the right chanel. I am binding with a DX5e tx so there is no mixing even possible. The second tx I used to verify the exact same results was a DX4e, also no mixing available.

ok. pretty easy really

DSM2 takes the "Bind conditions" as Failsafe settings

1. Confirm model controls work correctly

2. re-bind the Tx and Rx to set Failsafe (with the Tx controls at your Failsafe settings)
e.g. Throttle at Minimum.

3. remove Bind Plug and turn Tx and Rx Off

4. Turn Tx On then Rx On
confirm Failsafe is working by turning Tx Off

Common mistakes are
Low Rx voltage
Low Tx voltage
Rx supply reversed (even when the supply is Reversed the Rx LED will light)

Done this numerous times to the point of redundancy and the rx goes to WOT when tx is turned off. This is not my first or only DSMX rx.
