To register the VControl and/or NEO:
[*]Setup an account on Mikado's web site:
http://shop.mikado-heli.de/
[*]Log into
VStabi | Pioneer of Flybarless with your new Mikado id and leave the browser open. You will need an active session for this to work.
[*]Download the VControl Center and install it like any other app and follow the instructions as the appear
[*]
[*]Once its done installing you will have the vstabi tuning software and the control center
[*]
[*]You may have to go to device manager and update the drivers for both the radio and/or Neo. You should already know how to do this. If not let us know.
[*]Plug in either the Vcontrol or the Neo and launch the control center. at this point it is going to update what ever you plugged in.
[*]After the updates are done you will need to click the applications button on the top right side of the window. This should open a new tab in your browser showing you a list of registered products. At this point everything should be registered. DO NOT try and register straight through vstabi.info, it wont work for the NEO.
If you want to use vstabi to help in setting up your new Neo you will need to down load your keys file which is linked right under your Neo info. Once downloaded you will need to move it to your vcontrol root file under program files x86 (i believe). Once you open the vcontrol file past or move it to there. When you launch the vstabi software it should read the keys file. Now you should be able to use your usb cable and plug in to set it up.
I found that leveling the swash was easier in vstabi than the radio. I have not figured out how to adjust individual servos in the vcontrol just groups. Since I follow the Soko method for setting up it was easier for me that way. Now supposedly the free swash app for the vcontrol gives you that option but have not figured out how to do it. Right now the Gaui is waiting for the trim flight witch should be right after I wake up.
Now for the infamous throttle and pitch curves, good luck finding them. They don't exist in the radio at all. SO for castle its not that tough to setup since we are dealing with an external governor. On the Motor screen (BTW you will need the castle link to do this) uncheck auto bail out, set it to external governor and for the sensor wire (the white one) set it to rpm sensor and plug it into the Neo sensor port in the back of the unit (near the antenna wires). In the radio you will need to set the percentages of throttle and what head speeds you want along with the magnet count divided by 2 along with your gear ration. My gear ratio is higher than the max for the Neo, So I need to consider an 11T pinion at the minimum. FOr now I will stick with the 10T and see what happens. When selecting your esc in the radio it gives you an option to choose an ESC I chose Castle for obvious reasons. When I did that I got a QR code that I scanned with my phone and the stup page came up in chrome on my phone. Followed that and got it to work. Pitch curves are all linear not matter what.
Now in order to use the radio you will need to know where throttle hold is along with the safety switch. The safety switch renders the model useless except servos. I believe the safety switch is used for throttle hold while the throttle cut is a three way switch that gives you motor on, motor idel and motor off.
Bank switching is going to be NEEDED thats it no choice really. So what does this mean, you can have up to three different setups for the same heli based on which bank your on to include your governor. So with that said I set my banks to be the same on agility and style while setting head gain with three different values at 10 points apart, lowest number for higher head speed and and highest for lower head speed. Thats it everyhting else is the same in all banks. Now for the fun part, set your 2 knobs to a tune setting, go fly and while your flying adjust the knobs as need to tune out any issues and that should get you really close to a good tune. All that's left is fine tuning if you feel you need it. Most of us wont but for the 5% who do then keep going to your content with the tune. Last thing the knobs can be your worst nightmare. On some things the knobs are relitive and on others they are absolute. You will need to RTFM to figure that out. I did RTFM and that's how I found that info out. just do some reading first.
FOr now that all I have on the radio. I will be diggin in more as time goes on and I start fly again.
