Here's the odd thing. another of my .ini files (with Ch3 reversed) has the Ch3 sub-trim value set to -47. Clicking on the cyclic and collective adjustment buttons has the expected result in that case - incrementing the value by 1 or 5 in collective, though 1 or 6 in elevator.

Can you attach a copy of the ini file that is giving you the problem. Thanks.

Here you go - had to do a screen capture, since only images are allowed as attachments!

It's just struck me that the file happened to have the non-signed (if that's the expression) value for Ch3, so that's probably what's messing it up! I must have created it using the 1.08 software!

Yep, that was the issue, but I have added some protection in there to make it backwards compatible with the earlier ini files.

Version 1.13 is up.

Thanks, John. The app seems to be launching in a strange position on the screen again.

Just downloaded the app..........John, you are doing a great service!! Thank you very much. Software is stable (the Tarot one kept crashing on my PC). Can't wait to set mine up!!

Yes, it seems the setting had changed when I added the global style functionality. I have put it back to screen centre. I think I may hard code it as well then it certainly won't change.

3 days without anyone posting?

the latest software update must be perfect, or it's a sunny weekend for flying everywhere..... or both...

it's raining here ....and i'm still waiting for my tarot usb cable...

Are you able to connect to the gyro ok before you go to the setup screen?
The only thing that happens when you go into setup is the program sends a command to the gyro to start monitoring the TX function.
Try starting the program and go to setup without connecting. If you don't get the error then it must be some issue with the adapter. Try reinstalling the driver for it.

same thing. says access violation at address 5003EAEE in module RTL160.bpl.

Thanks, but I see the latest is still v1.13 and doesn't start center.

+1 on 1.13 Not centering.

Just to double check, if you start the program from fresh and then go to the setup screen without pressing connect, you get the access violation?
Does it do the same after you reboot your computer?

@Been Flying, version 1.14 fixes the centering problem. I also had 1.13 for download when the site said 1.12 was the testing version, that may have caused some confusion.

I will put version 1.14 up now and shift 1.13 over to stable. 1.14 introduces queuing of the messages to the gyro to make sure that each configuration message sent to the gyro is acknowledged. I had not been taking advantage of the full protocol to date, so have changed it to do that.
The status bar shows the number of queued messages. It typically should only show 0 or 1 messages. If it shows more than 1, it will change to red to indicate some comms issue. I haven't given it much testing, so let me know if it gives any issues.

I have also made the com indicators show activity while it is scanning and when it receives data from the gyro (3rd light flashes).
