Setting up elevons on S800 Wing

[Derek]

I've been messing with this for a few days now and I'm getting no where. When I set up my S800 wing with my DX8, the elevon set up was easy and working.

Now, I'm trying to use my Taranis with a Crossfire Micro v2 rx and I'm getting no where. I have the Crossfire bound to the rx. That's the easy part. It's when I move the sticks.....

I've watched the Elevons Mixing videos from Painless 360 and from Matt (RagTheNutsOff on Youtube). Both videos are very much the same and I'm quite sure that I followed each step....even tried creating new models and starting over, several times. I've tried using the Taranis Wizard to set up a Wing profile. I've also tried just setting up a new Plane model and my results are the same. When I move the sticks, the left elevon will move (the aileron part is right but the elevator part is backwards). The right elevon does not move and the motor does not spin.

Any thoughts?

I just checked the obvious. Am I getting 5v at each of the pins on the Crossfire rx? Yes, 5.0v is being read at the channel pins on the rx. I am also sure that I have the ground, power, and signal wires connected to the appropriate pins. I just don't understand why I have no throttle and no right elevon.

A guy in a Facebook group helped me sort out the problem in about 15 minutes. I had a setting wrong on the Crossfire tx. Now, everything is working and the S800 is ready to fly.

What was the setting Derek:)

I know when i am looking for solutions to problems it can be frustrating when your search engine leads you to a link and like in this one the problem is solved, however the solution is not printed in the link so anyone with the same issue does not know how you fixed it:)

In the Crossfire....i had to go into the "Micro V2" setting (which only comes on when the rx is powered). Once in there, i have to go into Output Mapping. Once in there, we noticed that channel 1 (throttle) was set to PPM.....it needed to be set to Channel 1. Once i changed that, the throttle was working.

I backed out of everything and calibrated the esc with the standard stick method. Perfect!
