IBU3 config questions

Post by MichaelC »

Hi all,

Got myself a IBU3 thanks to a fellow tanker. Anyway, started playing with it and have couple of questions:

- Do you need to power it separately when you are configuring thru the USB port ?

- For Carson's PDSGB, I assume is the so called "clutch" setting on the config (i.e one motor out drives forward/backwards and one for L/R ?)

I have IBU2 Base and Pro but this is quite different.

Yes need to power the IBU3 when connected to USB for programming.

Correct "clutch style" tick the box for DKLM gearboxes.

Manual is available here

Thanks Ian. Also, do I need to have a radio/receiver hook up as well if I am not doing calibration ?

If the radio is already configured to the IBU3 then no don't need it on.

Although I generally have the radio on as it allows me to test whilst I'm making the changes without having to unplug it all and test later.
