Set up for a Hammersaw

Questions & Help

Hello everyone.

I’m building a hammersaw.

I don’t know how to get the optimal set up for my flysky i6 to control it. The n20 600rpm motor that powers the arm is connected to the two holes underneath the letter W on the malenki nano.

My current setup without me changing anything is,

Right stick: all drive.

Left stick: Up and down is the weapon motor, left and right is the arm.

Ideally the set up would be:

Right stick: all drive.

Left stick: up and down is arm

swa switch is weapon motor.

Please help.

Thank you!

Hollis

Having the hammersaw be up and down on a flysky wouldnt be ideal, as everytime you retract from a swing you have to centre it perfectly. I believe if you go to the malenki documentation you can swap channels 3 and 4 to achieve the up and down to the arm. Not sure how to rebind to SWA with a fsi6, sorry

Would recommend leaving it as is tbh, unless you put springs into the fsi6 controller to centre the up and down motion.

Hi,

You can use the “swap channel 3 and 4” command to reverse the channels on the left stick, which is probably what you want.

Then you can attach your brushless esc to the 2nd pwm pad (Weapon3 / channel6) and have it run on channel 6, which the fsi6 allows to be mapped to switches / knobs.

I’m not absolutely sure whether the endpoints can be set appropriately on the i6, maybe you can use a 3-position switch to allow selection of different speeds or reverse. Maybe you can use the switch to “arm” the spinner and use the twisty knob (“VR” ? ) to control the speed?

it should be CH3 for the spinner and CH4 for the hammer.

That’s the standard setup Hollis wishes to avoid.

Ok, here’s what you want to do.

You can assign switches in the Functions menu.
