Hope these help a few people, the manuals and information out there doesn't cover what these videos do.

hi
i cant seem to get the motors to spin
i am using walkera devo 10 transmitter and devo 6 channel receiver
i am converting pwm to sbus using converter
i have calibrated sticks
done reverse calibration
and compass calibration
i can see that the flight modes are working from the led
i can also see in the blackbox that i have taken a few flights, but never actually flown
i have clipped the positive cable on all but one of the escs on the converter end
any help would be appreciated
thanks
jon

ONLY BAT Plug connected to power !!! Remove last ESC RED wire and ONLY connect directly to your flight battery ... NO ESC / BEC power to flight controller. You need the voltage from your selected flight battery voltage or you will get low voltage reading connecting through the Flight Controller = red flashes when you push your sticks down together or apart to initiate throttle ... NO other power should be connected to the flight controller except for BAT plug (red / black wire included in MiniX Box) and only to flight battery or PDB board main power. 3s to 6s battery.

HAVE A MINIX ON THE WAY! Pumped! Love my SuperX’s.
Have them on everything from a 1200mm 50lb heavy lifter to a monster GoPro rig. Solid performers.

From what I'm seeing in the 'other' place you may not be as happy with MiniX, still you do get what you pay for!

I’m putting the MiniX on a mini rig.. so I’m sure it will perform better than some of the $45 micro FC’s
Also, people’s set up’s have a lot to do with FC performance!

heres my setup
4 escs going to minix fc
red wires cut
fc battery cable plugged into jst which is coming from pdb
osd to osd
gps to gps
sbus cable to pwm/sbus converter
http://www.fpvmodel.com/rmilec-high-precision-pwm-ppm-sbus-signal-converter-v2_g478.html
6 jumper cables from other end of converter to walkera 6 channel receiver
1 of those 6 cables still carries red cable to power receiver
when i plug in flight battery i hear escs beeping as usual and motors twitch
i get all the correct leds for flight modes
and the black box shows flights
frustrating!

and thanks for your help so far

Urgent Message for XAircraft MiniX User !!CAUTION!!

MUST be careful to remove propellers! It CAN / will FIRE UP motors to FULL power. Tested multiple times. Normal ESC was selected but connected to "UltraPWM". Motors powered to 100%!

Remove propellers until you know everything is working properly!!

These steps are outlined in Manual PLEASE FOLLOW !

The safe steps are:

1) REMOVE propellers
2) Plugin USB
3) Power on both craft & radio
4) Completely Configure Software Settings
5) Eject the MiniX drive from computer and unplug USB
6) Power off aircraft and radio
7) Power back on
8) Test without Propellers
9) If your test is successful, reattach propellers, then fly normally

Safe Flying is First !
