VStabi Pioneer of Flybarless

Since we have two VBar EVO in master/slave mode, we recommend the basic information here. If you are using it without a slave, just skip over it.

The Master EVO must have at least the Pro firmware. The installation location of the Master EVO should be chosen so that there are as few entries as possible from disruptive things (e.g. vibrations, electric magnetic fields or even static discharges). It would therefore be good to mount it on a plywood board, for example, which is securely glued to the dome or fuselage floor. Of course, you have to pay attention to the antenna alignment.

We then connect the power supply to the Master EVO with at least 2 plugs (e.g. to ESC, CH4, AUX1, AUX2, AUX3, RPM). Make sure that the cables are sufficiently sized.

If you use one or two Mikado VBackups as buffers, a servo channel (e.g. to the controller or slave) can be looped through them. The connection is not lost!

The VBackup system is described in detail here

The Slave EVO is provided with the "Servo Extender" firmware. The installation location is not critical, but you should of course install it so that there is some distance from the Master EVO and the antennas are aligned differently.

The Slave EVO is provided with AUX3 connected to Master AUX3 using a 3-pin patch cable. The Interbus must then be activated in the Master EVO. After a restart, both devices should now be visible in the antenna status.

The master/slave system is described in detail here

To the master and Slave EVO, auxiliary devices such as lighting can be easily connected. The outputs can be accessed via macro cells. The telemetry connection is also active on the Slave EVO, both ports can be used here.

The macro cells are described in detail here

For the ESC on electric helicopters, we use preferably current types from YGE, Scopion, Kontronik, OMP or XDFLY. These have integrated bidirectional telemetry and can be fully programmed via the VBar Control using a one-button solution.

Other ESCs are of course possible. Here you must follow the ESC manufacturer's instructions for programming etc. In this case, we recommend using a Mikado current/voltage sensor to monitor the battery capacity. If the ESC does not give an RPM signal - an external RPM phase sensor or a Hall sensor on the main shaft (like Nitro) would be a good idea. The temperature could also be monitored using a Mikado temperature sensor.

For turbine helicopters, it would be preferable to use an ECU with integrated bidirectional temeletry. JetCat supports us in this, both ECU V6 and V12 can be used (update if necessary).

Other turbines can only be connected indirectly (as with the ESCs above) to our telemetry - to do this you use a VStabi NEO as a "sensor hub". Here you can easily implement a fuel gauge, for example.

As with Nitro, you can always read the speed on the main shaft using a Hall sensor at RPM, so you already have good basic information.
