Yes gear is working with the JP controller, maybe it did damage it somehow, cant see how though.

Can you post a photo of your gear connections to the controller?

I don’t know never tried to connect servo in those port...but if the gear work..you did connect a battery in the MPX port?

Big Sky

My Feedback: (4)

Yes Battery connected, I think its a bad unit, tried different pin position on gear out, with volt meter between gear and controller and cant get any voltage reading coming out no matter which way I use pin set up.

Have you tried using the MAN EXTEND/RETRACT method to test the retracts? I would recommend resetting the unit to factory settings, then try MAN EXTEND. If you do this and the gear work, then the problem is likely in your gear door sequencer settings. -Tom

Yes, Tried that also, no action, how do you do a factory reset, I'll try that, If that don't work, then its for sure done, brand new to, that sucks, but, like you said, maybe hooking a servo to it did something, not sure. maybe it back fed power through signal wire some how, beats me.

I could, But I know there right, using standard JR connector with negative in bottom pin and positive in middle pin, tried moving positive to top with negative in bottom, still no action, no matter what, I cant get any voltage to come out the gear side, servo side is fine, shows voltage on all servo connections,

The red wire and black wire are on the outside The connector you will notice my connectors turned around to get the correct direction of travel on the retracts
Here’s a photo of the gear correctly connected to the controller

You were right, my wiring was wrong on the gear output side, all working good now, thanks for the help everyone has provided.

Guess you were referring to the above post. Eh? Just wanted to make sure that it is clear for future readers that on the gear wire harnesses the VDC+ power wires have to be moved in the JR connector to where the signal wire normally is. I first picked up on that when I read the original manual on the first LGC15 that I got. The lesson here is: It helps when one reads the manual or even the posts that people send when people are trying to help! It also helps, for the first time, to set the gear and controller up with a Rxer connected and do the testing on the bench before installing the gear. That way you do not have to deal with any other wires or settings other than the gear. Sometimes reading and making new systems work up on the bench first make life a lot easier. But I am glad you got it figured out. Once you get the settings adjusted correctly, you will love the controller. No more break dancing and veering period.

OK, Next problem I'm having, NO Steering, Using Aux 5 on receiver for steer in to the lg15, mixed to rudder in transmitter. If I pull the steer in lead out of the receiver and plug the steering servo straight into the receiver all works fine, so I know its receiving a signal to steer. But running from aux 5 to steer in on controller, then hook servo to steer out on controller, it don't work, so I know the transmitter is sending steer command to controller, but the controller is not sending steer command out. I zeroed out all the gyro setting in controller to see if that was set up wrong, but still cant get the steering to work when using LG15, only works when steering servo is connected direct to aux 5 on receiver. Any Idea's ?

‘I know why...I have encounter that before.......the LG15 stop the steering with the gear up...and right now it knows the gear is UP, do a relearn...

Yes your switch is down and the gear is down...but the controller is up

a quick test switch the gear up and try the steering....

If thats the case you just turn the retract plugs 180 degrees in the controller

Bob_B

My Feedback: (11)

Btw you can just name the steering channel rudder in the tx NO need to create a mix. As you are learning the steering turns off when gear retracts.

I have a LGC-13. It was working okay but the gear was down and the controller said they are up. So I started to try and change settings. I'm using the screen form my X45. Not it don't work.
Is there a way to reset it to factory settings? I cannot figure out how to scroll thru the menu and change things. Its not user friendly. Why cannot it be plugged in to a computer? Is there a better controller?
I'd switch to the JP controller I have but then I have to redo all the wire ends.

Simply reverse the gear plugs in the controller so if they’re currently red the red black to black make it black to red and red to black

I messed it up so bad that it does work at all.

I'll reach out to Gaspar and ask him how to factory reset. -Tom

You could make short adapters until you get the LGC 13 is sorted out

‘Are you using the LG13 with JP gear or Electron?

jvaliensi

My Feedback: (1)

I am using JP gear. I finally got it working.
The screen doesn't refresh very quickly and I was scrolling thru too fast for it.
I had to reverse the polarity of the gear to make it work.

Thanks for all the tips.

I heard back from Gaspar, I’m always amazed at how quickly he responds

There is no “factory reset.” He said you can copy the config from another unit and load it though. If someone has one new that they have not yet programmed they could save their settings to a microSD card and that could be used to effectively reset to factory settings. If not, I’d be happy to share my settings file. -Tom

Theres something I don’t understand....as far as I know you cannot used the LG13 because it’s not programable by the user like the unlock LG15?? And there’s no sd card on that one??

Tip22v

[QUOTE=Dansy;12641636]I’m assuming that the original poster meant LGC-15 based on how he was describing his issue, and because this thread is only about the LGC-15. Perhaps that was a bad assumption, can the guy with the issue confirm his unit has a screen and is in fact an LGC-15, and not an LGC -13?
