RC Tanks Australia Forum

Hi i could not find it on here and i hope i can explain this properly but here goes:
OK have a heng long tiger tank with a 9x 2.4ghz transmitter and 9x receiver to a RC5HL (new one)so they change the frequency over from 24mhz to GHz,
The power light comes on however the green light does not come on, i have properly bind the Tx to the RX i have watched where 13245 pins go in to the rc5hl
I am at a loss
i know the green LED needs to come on so i can then start it, the red LED and Blue LEDs come on and such so what next.
the setup is on to a bog standard heng long rx18 board

HELP!!!

Hi There

Sorry to hear you are having troubles. You do not say in your post what firmware you are running on the 9X. Are you running ER9X/tankER9X or are you running the factory firmware?

The green LED on the RC5HL will only come on if it detects valid signals from ALL 5 channels from your receiver. Although you may have bound the receiver correctly have you checked using a servo for example that you are infact sending out signals on ALL 5 channels.

If using the factory firmware setting up a new model may I think default to a 4 channel mix and unless you have told your radio to do so - nothing will be output on CH5 and hence the LED will not come on. You would need to setup a 5 channel mix. Then verify that you are sending out on all 5 channels.

If using tanker9X setup is simple
1. In Radio Mode set your channel order to RTEA
2. Change stick mode to Mode 3 (throttle on right)
3. Create a new model
4. Go to templates and select the RC5HL template

Cheers
KG

Hi Thanks for that

so I would have to say it is on stock firmware, i bought it brand new

how can I set up a 5 channel mix?

as it is stock firmware do you set it up via the aux display,
then change channel 5 from null to gear for example and then look at display to check it works and then turn the tank on?

this is what i have tried and so far no success

(I jumped in to the deep end with this one)

Thanks Seb

Ok i Just got it working
The green light is on and sorted

Time to play with my tank
