can i use a DX6i with a Naza lite & GPS

[davethepitch]

Hello all

I think i may have a problem as i only have a DX6i transmitter which does not have a three way switch and i am not sure if i am going to be able to calibrate the Naza lite or do i need another transmitter.

Hi Dave,

Check out the reply I got here regarding lack of 3-position switch  http://www.multi-rotor.co.uk/index.php?topic=3151.msg25237#msg25237 

[davethepitch]

I have just had a look at that and i am not sure how i will get all that to work with a Naza perhaps it is time i purchased a transmitter with a three way switch but i am not sure which would be suitable as i want to stay with Spektrum RX';s.

DX8 or 9x/9xr with Orange module.

DX8 or 9x/9xr with Orange module.

I don';t think my budget will go that far.

If you can';t stretch to the 9x/9xr and Orange module then best stick to your dx6i.

The problem is i have just purchased a Naza lite & GPS and i do not know if i can use a DX7 or a DX7s as i am not sure if those two TX';s have a 3 way switch which would allow me to use the Naza Manual, Attitude, Attitude & GPS.

@Davethepitch - I';d suggest trying it for yourself first and see how you get on. The method does in fact generate the various PWM signals that the Naza M Lite is looking for.  So in that respect it should work.  You can fairly adapt the method to whichever switches you have on the DX6i.

Then if you really don';t get on with the method perhaps invest in a Turnigy 9X or 9XR, sell on the DX6i to help offset the spend.

A dx7s costs more than a 9x/9xr with orange module so unless you';re looking for an old dx7 it';s going to cost you more!

Apart from the price yes - but don';t forget it';s not Spektrum compatible - you will be starting over again!  For a better price look here:

I will purchase one of those Turnigy 9X transmitters i know they are not DSM2 but that does not bother me really.

I am not sure what type of technology the Turnigy transmitter uses but i will not buy from the company you mention as they are not in my good books.

I had a DX6i at first and got it to do most things with the help of this video by mixing the 2 position switches .....

Setting up the NAZA';s Return To Home on the DX6i

But I was fed up with not being able to get all the modes so I sold the DX6i on Ebay and bought a DX7  ::)

A 3 position switch makes all the difference 

Then when you have one you can mix all the features as I discovered with this

Hello all

I have just purchased a Turnigy 9X and when it arrives i will try and find out how to set up the 3 way switch so as i get all the three flight modes of the Naza Manual, Attitude and GPS modes.

I have been looking and i cannot find what type of technology the Turnigy 9X uses eg Spektrum uses DSM2.

Thanks Dave

Note the PS - the last comment - on my sticky I already posted

Dave, there are two videos you should watch that show how to set up the Turnigy 9X for the Naza

1st - set the 3 position switch DJI Naza 3 Flight Modes (Attitude, Manual, and GPS) w/ Turnigy 9X Transmitter and 3 Position Switch
2nd - set the Failsafe switch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mXNIM1LHeg

That should give you all that you';re looking for.

The Turnigy 9X is based on FlSky (seems everyone pronounces it Fly Sky) equipment. They use a fairly aggressive channnel hopping arrangement to ensure no brown outs between TX and RX.   The 9X I received has the module wired in, although you can fit any other radio module - which will require a little bit of re-engineering in the case, from what I read.  It is a very trusted and widely used TX by all accounts.

I hate to say it but you are buying from them but indirectly - Turnigy is just a brand name used by Hobby King, the only thing different you are getting to what you would get from HK is extra cost because a third party is involved - these are the people who buy loads of them to sell on and the main cause of HK being out of stock most of the time - that said if you';re happier buying from EBay it';s your choice

Hello DarrellW

I had read that but the problem i had was when i purchased an item from the UK warehouse that was faulty and it had to go back to the UK warehouse and i was told to send it back by tracking method which i did (and it was not cheap).

I will not go into detail but i used the online customer support with all the same old blah blah and telling me it was being dispatched when it was not and even though they had 10+ of the same item in the UK warehouse they said the replacement had to come from the main place so i had to wait for a package from Singapore but at least i finally ended up with my item.

I really do not know why companies get post-sales so completely and utterly wrong. Its not as if the people that create the regime don';t buy "stuff" themselves.  The simple question to be asked is "Would I be happy to experience my own regime".

I suppose I';ve been lucky, I';ve had a load of stuff off them and all has been OK but understand where you are coming from now - once bitten twice shy!!!
