Sorcerer Setup Procedure
Lateral Setup
The lateral setup consists of
setting activity, torque, serial
baud rate, and various
configuration parameters. To
enter the 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 activity, with an
underline under the present
setting of activity. A typical
screen might show:
The underlined number is
set by rotating the encoder
knob. Turn this knob to set the
activity level to the desired
value for the particular aircraft.
Any value between 0 and 24
may be chosen. In this example,
the value of 1 will be selected.
Activity should be set so as to
not be excessive in turbulence
and yet sufficient to fly without
hunting in still air. (Any lost
motion or play between the
servo and the control surface
can cause hunting in still air).
Once
the LAT ACTIVITY
has been set to the desired
value, push the up control on
the vertical speed rocker to
enter the selected value into
storage, and advance to the next
setup screen.
In a manner similar to
activity, use the encoder knob to
select the desired value of roll
servo torque. This value should
be between 8 and 12. A default
value is set at the factory but
may need to be modified to suit
a particular aircraft. The value
chosen should be sufficient to
fly the aircraft, but not so much
that it is difficult to override the
autopilot if necessary.
Having selected the desired
LAT TORQUE level, again
push the up control on the
vertical speed rocker to enter
the selected value into storage,
and advance to the next setup
screen. If the need arises to
move to a previous setup screen
pressing the down control on
the vertical speed rocker will
move to the previous screen.
Likewise, clicking the encoder
knob in any setup screen will
exit the setup mode. The next
setup screen is shown below.
The
value shown represents
the speed of the primary RS-
232 interface to the external
GPS unit. By default at the
factory the BAUD is set to
9600, as that is the most
commonly used value.
