Problem binding with dx6i/Orange t-6, no problem with stock dx4e: board KO ?
Hi !
I've been using my mcpx since it got out (this is a v1...). I've always used the stock dx4e. Few month ago, I planned to do a brushless mode and also buy a real tx. I first ordered an orange t-6 as it is cheaper than a dx6i. Problem is that I have problems binding it to my heli: sometimes, it does not bind at all, and when it does, the bind is lost when tx is switched off (switching on/off the heli with tx still on works correctly). I decided that the TX was faulty, as the heli works correctly and I can still bind correctly to the dx4e. So I went to buy a new dx6i to my local store... and no luck. It's even worse as I can't get it to bind at all. Before spending 50+euros in a new board, has anyone ever see such problem where the board would be broken like this ? |

Double check the binding procedure. Hold right rudder after the transmitter beeps. This is to put the receiver in computer mode for the DX6i. The RTF MCPX with the DX4 transmitter is in non-computer mode and must be changed with the application of rudder during the bind process for a computer radio.
Note, the right rudder is only required after the model has been bound to a non-computer radio (DX4e). To re-bind to the original DX4e again later, hold left rudder. This has worked for me when using DX4/5e and DX6i transmitters. Incidentally, I think there is nothing wrong with that little DX4e.

Thanks for the reply !
I thought the right rudder was only needed for V2 boards... But I did try (I'm desperate) that without better results. I've tried holding trainer + right rudder and then switch on the tx, and also by applying rudder after the first beep... |

All my MCPX helis are V1. They sit for long periods of time.
Usually I can not get them to initialize the first or second time after a battery change and transmitter power down. If I take the heli, turn on the transmitter, connect the flight battery, then lay the radio on a flat surface,place the heli on the face of the transmitter, it usually initializes the first time. Don't ask me why but it works for me. This is with a DX6i. HW. |

Me too. Both my NanoCPx and mCPx will do that about 50% of the time.
When i connect the battery it goes into bind mode, so i get the TX farther away or put the antenna in another direction and plug the battery again and most of the time it works. Those small helis seem pretty picky when i comes to bind.

My msr does the same, half the time it goes into bind mode. So it's not just a mcpx issue.
Funny though, the mcpx v1 usually works just fine. Not sure if it matters, those small connectors make it hard to make a firm connection from start, without a few very short power cuts until you get it seated properly. On the mcpx I've switched to micro deans. |
