Sorcerer Setup Procedure
In the Sorcerer setup screens, pressing VS UP on the rocker switch
will advance the page to the next setup screen. Pressing VS DN will
return to the previous screen. All values are changed by rotating the
knob. Pressing the knob will exit the setup mode.
Lateral Setup
To enter the lateral setup mode, press and hold the TRK button for
two or more seconds until the first setup screen appears. This screen
shows the current value for the LAT ACTIVITY. Any value between 0
and 24 may be chosen. In this example, the value of 3 is selected. The
higher the number is set, the faster the servo moves the control system.
Too low of a setting will cause hunting, too high of a setting will cause
hunting and the servo to be overactive and jitter. (Any lost motion or play
between the servo and the control surface can cause hunting in still air).
The next setup screen is for adjusting LAT TORQUE. This determines
how much torque the roll servo is allowed to apply with 12 being the
maximum. A default value of 12 is set at the factory but may need to be
modified to suit a particular aircraft or pilot. Trutrak recommends a
setting of 12 for all aircraft. If the torque setting is too low the AP may
not be able to control the aircraft in all flight conditions. This could
cause the aircraft to drift off selected track.
The next screen shows the RS-232 input BAUD rate setting. The
default setting is 9600. Consult the Sorcerer installation manual for
information on how to setup some GPS receivers to properly
communicate with the Sorcerer AP.
