How
to install and get the PC software working for an Exceed CT6A or CT6B
Transmitter. Turborix, Exceed are re-branded Flysky Transmitters so
this install page works with all of those.
(looking for info on the new T6 radio with LCD screen? Click here)
NOTE:
There are 2 types of Transmitters/Receivers. CT6A and CT6B. Although
the software and USB cable drivers dont' care, the Tx and Rx are not
compatible with each other. If you have a CT6A, you can't buy an Rx
that works with a CT6B.
Install Cable Driver
FIRST:
Get
your USB cable driver working first. Both the SILabs and Prolific
drivers are contained in the T6Config download file below. SILabs is
the driver currently shipping with the CT6B. You want to install the
driver for the cable before plugging it in. If you don't know which one
you have, you probably have an SILabs if it is a new purchase.
Work on the USB cable install first, before moving on.
Once you install the driver, it will appear in your Windows
Device manager as a USB to Serial COM PORT.
To view this you do click the following sequence :
Start
Control Panel
System
Click Hardware Tab
Click Device manager
Click the + next to PORTS
There you will see an SILabs CP210 or Prolific USB to
serial device. Note the COM PORT it is on.
Note that T6config does NOT like any serial port ABOVE Port
9 (Digital
Radio
does not care). To change the port, within Device manager, Right Mouse
Click the Prolific or SILabs USB to Serial port then select Properties.
Now click Port Settings Tab and then the Advanced button. Change the
COM port to a lower Number. It's ok if it says its being used on this
list, but don't pick a port that is CURRENTLY in use within the Device
manager Ports list. Some PCs will change the serial port if
you
plug into a different USB connection, Try to connect to the same USB
connection on your PC or USB hub.
T6Config
Install
T6config.exe from the downloaded T6install.zip file. NOTE: Some People
reported that T6config does NOT work with Windows 7 64 bit, Other
people report it works fine (NOTE:The Alternative
programs are better than t6config )
Plug in your cable and turn on Tx.
Select your com port (a new com port would have been added
during the driver install)
Make sure it's communicating and click GETUSER BEFORE you
make any changes.
Save your settings to a default file so you can come back
to it.
Do
not keep saving the same file name, you want to be able to revert back
to a previous file if you mess something up. Name them incrementally
Blueray1, Blueray2, etc.
My default file is particular to MY helicopter, Your
Endpoints and Subtrims are likely to be different.
If you have an airplane, change the TYPE to ACRO instead of
HELI 120
MODE is your stick mode. USA uses Mode 2 typically.
Downloads to older
Drivers: Older
SILabs CP210 XP,
Vista, Windows 7 compatible driver (driver only) Note that
these files are included in the T6Config Install files and driver link
above. Try this ONLY if your having issues with current SI labs driver. Windows 7 64
bit drivers for Prolific Cable only
: If you have Windows 7 64 bit and your Prolific driver is NOT
installing, try this driver instead. Uninistall the other Prolific
driver, then install this. Note that T6config did not work for me with
Windows 7 64 bit and if it is now working for you try one of the Alternative Programs
Note that the knobs and switches will operate as per the
operational video below
Info on the Power Meter
LED
Voltage levels (tested by someone else) of the LED power indicator
LED steady green : SupplyVoltage > 10.8 Volt
LED steady orange: 9.4 Volt < SupplyVoltage <
10.4 Volt
LED steady red : SupplyVoltage < 9.1 Volt
It is ok to run NiMh batteries into the orange category but once it
gets down to the red you should replace IMMEDIATLY!
