Tarot ZYX/ZYX-S firmware upgrade

[walkera4g3]

I noticed there is a growing amount of pilots here that are now using the Tarot ZYX FBL gyro, welp I've just been informed by our friend unochen there is an upgrade firmware.

Here's what he said:

ZYX firmware upgrade to version 3.50.rar(only use in ZYX)
http://www.kingwjg.com/zyx/zyx%203.50.rar

ZYX-S firmware upgrade to version 3.50.rar(only use in ZYX-S)
http://www.kingwjg.com/zyx/zyx-s%203.50.rar

1.Optimize the heading hold control, eliminate bouncing when spin brake.
2.Optimize the main rotor control, eliminate swing while tic toc.
3.Accelerate the response speed of joystick, so that the helicopter can follow your hands better.
4.Optimize the pirouette compensation to make pirouette flight more stable.
5.Improve the joystick dead band setting to make stick control smoother.


First Flight Attention with 3.50 Version:
1.During first flight, if there are hunting or swing with you helicopter, please decrease the D gain on corresponding axis first.
2.When tail servo is on neutral point, set the tail pitch to be approximately 8°in the direction that compensates the main rotor torque by adjusting the linkage length.
3.If the brake speed of left and right pirouette are different, please adjust the "Deceleration L" or "Deceleration R". The higher parameter value, the break will be faster.

Firmware upgrade instruction
1.Connect the ZYX gyro to PC by ZYX USB adapter,click "Connect ZYX",make sure it succeed.
2.Open the Firmware in ZYX PC software.
3.Keep the PC,USB adapter and ZYX gyro connecting.Power off ZYX gyro,press "SET" button of gyro and power on.
4.The red lamp is flashing,click "Upgrade" button to start upgrade,the ZYX gyro will restart after successful upgrade.
5.Please make sure your gyro is Tarot ZYX,otherwise the gyro will be damaged.The ZYX gyro does not need to be setup again.

[chopstick]

how do I open the file?
Downloaded the 3.5 RAR, and then? It contains a bin-file. The software is asking for some hex-file.

[walkera4g3]

extract the file from the rar into your MyDocuments folder then use the software to upgrade

Mine asked for a bin file, make sure you are clicking the open button in the bottom right next to upgrade

[chopstick]

I upgrded with the software from http://fbl.net.nz/
So now I can start testing the tarot on my sjm180 (250-class)

[bobtruck]

Thanks for the link to the connection sequence. I tried to upgrade mine last night but it just would not take. I'll try again tonight.

As another thought, has anyone screwed this up and bricked their Tarot?

[Dr. M]

I suggest you download the file again and try to flash the firmware again. It may have gotten corrupted during the download.

Awesome!

[ZuvieleTeile]

Still can't update the firmware.
How can I open the firmware with the PC software. There is only an option under "file" to open a .config file. But the firmware is a .bin file. ????

HELP!!!

[Dr. M]

Big "OPEN" button on the right hand side under the "Firmware upgrade" title.

[ZuvieleTeile]

Thanks Dr. M . . .
But I have a different PC-Software.
It is the old one, where it does not show the Tarot unit on the right side.
I just downloaded the 4.o PC-software from Tarot, but it does not really install.
There must be a bug or something. I get a window with about half the programming screen and can't press any buttons.
Do you have by any chance a better 4.0 PC programming software version or link?
