X8R Delta-mix issue.

[Mik120]

Having installed a X8R reciever in two delta-wings now, I understand less and less
One reciever requires no delta-mix in the transmitter, and does the mixing itself.
The other one does no mixing at all, and I had to setup the model with delta-mix on the tx.
Also, the servos seem to be working correctly, but when I do small stick-movements, the servos move less and less. After 5-6 movements they hardly respond at all. Then I wiggle the stick around and they ‘wake up’ back to normal.
Anybody seen this before?
I think it could get interesting if I actually try to lift off

I think you are confusing models of receivers.
The S8R you mentioned in your other thread has the stabilization modes, and has to go through the setup you conversed about there.
The X8R is just a plain jane 8 channel receiver, so everything has to be done on the transmitter.
Which one is giving you fits with reduced movement?

You’re right, sorry
They’re both S8R’s and act the same way in regards to the movement.
I’ll try and make a video of it
But I don’t understand the thing about the mixing though.
Manual states that the S8R does the delta-wing mixing itself, and one of the 2 receivers does just that. But the other one doesn’t. I believe they have the same firmware installed. At least, I didn’t change it
I have both planes working now but with very different mix setups.
Here’s a picture of the two setups:

Did you run the Lua script and set the wing type to delta in both?

Actually, I had the first one programmed and ready (gyro, stab. , expo settings) and just tested today. Everything works 100%
So, having programmed that, I thought the easiest way to do the next one, would be to just copy that and go from there.
But, that did not work out
Took it out for maiden today, and spend the last 3 hours, not finding it in a 7” tall rapeseed field
It flew all right though, until it did som strange wikediwik on the elevator, and I suspect it was the strange mix-thing…..
I should’ve stayed on the ground

You are talking jibberish, it is not possible to 'copy the programming' between rx's. You can copy a model in the TX, you must do the complete setup for the rx. Calibrate first, the run the configuration script setting the wing type, then do the self check.

Sorry, I was referring to the transmitter, when I wrote the ‘copy’-thing.
But maybe, when you mention it, it’s the rx-calibration I haven’t done right. That would make sense
