Total g with external rx help!!

[Ayres_08]

I am hooking my total g up with my optima 6. I am having problems getting them to sync together. I have followed the instructions word for word. Anyone have a tutorial or some pointers for me? I have it all hooked up correctly however when I click "external rx" on the program, and turn off rx and tx then turn back on. It he light doesn't turn yellow.

I keep getting tx off error then it lets me select external rx. But I don't get any further than that

Do I need the esc/power plugged into the Y connector or to the throttle channel on the TG?

Hi,

You connect the ESC to the throttle channel on the TG.

The Y connector is to power on the TG.

If your ESC doesn´t have internal bec, you must use a external power source connected to the Y connector.

You need to power your receiver. The TotalG will get it's power from the Y harness also. I found that I needed to have everything wired up for the TotalG to recognize the external receiver. I fly Airtronics with an external receiver. I have one lead from the BEC Pro going to channel 8 and then power to the TotalG power port with a heavy duty servo extension from channel 7 which I also use to adjust FC gain from the transmitter. The other lead from the BEC goes to the TotalG governor port.

Thanks for all the help. Yes, Id be interested in any drives. I really dont know about the case, but i do think it has a fan. I cant see it not having one and running for as long as this drives been running. Im not good at taking things apart, so I really cant do anything there. How mutch are external cases? Could I take an old 20 gb hd out of an old computer in my garage and turn it into another external hd? Thanks again for the help.
