1. Head Movement Tracker X GYRO 1000 500 USER MANUAL V 1 15 Introduction X GYRO 1000 is a two axis head tracking system based on G sensor technique designed for tracking complicated three dimensional motion like head movement and so on it can also be used on the areas of controlling drones and robots transferring three dimensional motion signals from hands head of human to corresponding movement system on RC model drone or robot The basic version of X GYRO 1000 is specially designed for RC models with FPV First Personal Version it can be used perfectly with main stream transmitters that gets self defining trainer channel on market or to be co operated with wireless high frequency modular independently It can transfer the checked movement signals to transmitter and the transmitter can send out signals of head movement or position of head on two axis so that the real synchronization can be realized when screen on the goggles displayed video pictures users can look around as if he were inside the RC model Since it is compatible with transmitters on nowadays market it is easy and simple to use it and grasp it its best advantage is that no need any fixed reference object to check and measure the inflection position of RC model and no drift at all when it in stationary state compared with other facilities that need to make use of very complicated reference facilities or manual controlled transmitter mechanical arms or other tools are h2. al connecters see picture Two type FUTABA adapter and one external power connecter Plug the X GYRO cable in your transmitter s trainer plug and lay the sensor on a stable surface so that it doesn t move at all while powering up If your FUTABA transmitter has less than 8 channel such like 4VF or 6EX you need use PPM signal mixer If you transmitter is FUTABA 8 CH or upper Just direct connect and play If your transmitter is FUBATA T12MZ or T14MZ you need to use external power connector included in box and 2 cell Li Po with JST connecter Turn the TX on The sensor s LED will blink just one second the fastest response in the world at the present time It can be saved as zero movement for reference During this time the module stores the zero movement reference Its very important NOT to move the sensor at that moment as any little measurement error will cumulate over time and create drift After few seconds move your X GYRO Your camera ptz should be moving synchronize with X GYRO If you leave X GYRO static in 30 sec but can see ptz moving although the system is designed by our excellent engineer almost so that head movement cannot match up the position of the camera you can simply look straight and press the button shortly the system will rememorize central position and correct its output signal instantly to secure movement synchronism The processing is so short that you make no influence during flying The tempe

6. ndard PPM signal to those unused channels Since the FUTABA transmitters especially the FF9 9C series trainer switch is spring switch only if you leave it always on can realize its function The simplest way for it is to hold the switch on with a rubber band Other high end transmitters such as T9Z T14MZ have already put the trainer channel to always on channel Other notice is the trainer function of some models of FUTABA need to reset after you change model GRAUPNER High end Graupner transmitters can be used with X GYRO MC20 MC24 MX22 and they are actually support selective trainer channel merging You can also check the manual of the transmitter and get the procedure correspondingly but these expensive transmitters didn t take the trainer connector as a standard feature You need to purchase a trainer connector module to active the function Once the appropriate module is installed in the transmitter the X GYRO equipped with a 3 5mm stereo JACK connector may be used These connectors don t supply power you need to connect an external power for it The simplest way is to use a 9V battery since the current drawn by the X GYRO is low enough that a single battery should last a long time of course it will be economical if you use a 7 4V high capacity Li Po battery Multiplex High end Multiplex transmitter series Royal Evo Cockpit SX MC4000 can also compatible with X GYRO The different with Graupner is Multiplex Tx can supply

8. power to X GYRO without external power You need right connecter for Multiolex please read user s manual to know the detail specifications about transmitter setting JR and other transmitters Some JR transmitters can support selective merging trainer channel some of them can t but it is so pity it appears that only the first 4 channels are supported the JR 9303 9X is one example of this So users can only use X GYRO on those simple 2 3 channel models with JR transmitter The problem can be solved by applying high frequency transmitter system to transfer control signal independently it is on research now Now we are developing connector device that can fit all RC transmitters including fit JR and 4VF transmitters not compatible at present time the time won t be too long 2 X GYRO 1000 500 Setting If your transmitter can program their channel setting and also can program student s channel setting while turn on trainer function You don t need to change the setting the X GYRO If your transmitter cant change the students channel setting you can use the programming function of X GYRO More detail about X GYRO setting please read the section X GYRO Porgramming 3 Install X GYRO This module checks angular positions around 2 axis just like showed on the picture below It s very important to align them to your head s rotation axes so that the measured movements are independently If it is not aligned properly the sensor will repo
