New Tarot ZYX/ZYX-S/ZYX-S2 Flybarless System
I just found this Tarot ZYX flybarless 3 axis gyro system:
Says it's for 200 to 700 size helicopters on the box. They have used the single plug with 3 Rx wires to keep the size down. This unit can be programmed by the Tx or by a programming box. The Tx programming works fine, but the larger values are trickier to set. Setup is easier with the program box and a lot more options are available. Note: This gyro does not have a total limit setting or a cyclic ring, so it is not possible to stop binding at stick corners. !!! HOT !!! The new ZYX-S2 - 32 bit processor, new MEMS sensors: Details Link - New Software Link Dr.M's 3D plane settings: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...ostcount=10031 IFHELI's Quad setup: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...postcount=9447 ZYX v4 compared to VBar v5.3: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...postcount=8380 V4.01 for the ZYX and ZYX-S: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...postcount=7092 - See this also: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...postcount=7206 -V4.01 has separate versions for helicopter/airplane and quadcopter. The heli/plane version does not initialize the servos until after the gyro initializes to avoid a servo kick. -Safe v4 upgrade steps: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...postcount=7608 V3.50 for the ZYX and the ZYX-S: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...postcount=4014 - PLEASE READ THIS ALSO: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...postcount=4039 The new Tarot ZYX-S and ZYX v3.0: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...postcount=1843 John_nz's PC application and information: http://fbl.net.nz/ !!! NOT HOT !!! -None of the ZYX/ZYX-S tools (bluetooth adapter, program box, PC app) work with the ZYX-S2 -Fusuno canopies. Poor customer service and very slow to ship. It would seem their canopies all come from Vietnam. When it did finally arrive they had also forgotten to put the 4 mounting holes in the canopy, and had not provided any grommets. -Compass Warp 360. Poor inconsistent quality, causing crashes. -xmseller/xmhobbies/CNC helicopter. They say you only find out how good a company is when something goes wrong. I found out. NOTE: It's come to my attention that people don't want to post in this thread, because they think their question is too simple or should be obvious. Quite the contrary! Hey, we all had to start with zero knowledge of FBL and FBL controllers and we don't all have time to search the entire forum, so please, no matter how simple you think your question is, ask away. There are a lot of kind people subscribed to this thread that are happy to share their knowledge of FBL with you. Look forward to your post. David NEW STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!

link is assigned a COMs port of 4 or less (COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4). This is done in device manager. 2/ The gyro must also be initialized to connect (Tx and Rx on and the single red or blue LED lit on the gyro).

Looks like it could be this Helicox TG-1 rebadged to Tarot:

I'm not sure what price the Tarot one is going to be. The Helicox TG-1 appears to be $98 from Hobby-Wing, but that doesn't appear to include the programmer. The strange thing is, I can't find the programmer listed on it's own, so perhaps the text in the listing is wrong.

I'm no sure yet. It probably depends on how well the ALZRC unit flies. The 3GYS gyro on it's own is going to be pretty cheap, and I like how it works so far, but it all means nothing if it doesn't fly well.

Infinity Hobby have put up a video:

I love all this. Maybe once I go FBL to reduce repair time between crashes, I'll be more compelled to fly my heli more...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any news on the release date yet?
|

looks good on the big birds. I hope it will perform just as good on the small birds.

I might try this one day
