I have order some rc15 rate control boards . they work like they are suppose to as far as I can tell other than it will not turn on unless I use a external 5v power source tied in to the 5v pin in the pressure sensor headers?
What about if you put a fuse in the holder?
the one I am testing and am currently using has the fuse installed and it still doesn’t have 5v
12v flow through the fuse, then through the D3 diode to the 5v voltage regulator. The D3 diode looks like its in the correct direction and you say you have the fuse installed. Do you have 12v power at the voltage regulator?
Your ampseal connector doesn’t look soldered properly, I can’t see solder on any of the pins. How are you injecting 12v power?
12V on pin 18 and GND on pin 12.
I supply power through j5 and ground through j6. do I need to also supply power to the 12v pin in the ampseal connector
I have 12v on pin one and 1.24v on pin two of the xl2596
No need to connect to both. Connecting to only J5 and J6 is ok.
Are all your boards like this?
yes,they are all this way. I think I have the adjustable xl2596 vs the 5v volt ones
They should read XL2596S-5.0E1. JLC’s mistake?
they are xl2596-adje1. I think I ordered the wrong thing.
It may be possible to remove them and solder the correct ones.
I have the correct ones ordered and am going to try and change them. We have been running the rate controller on a spracoupe 220 that origanally had a raven 440 rate controller. sometimes the auto rate will hold the rate dead on but sometimes it will won’t adjust and you have to manually adjust the rate till it is close before it will adjust?Could it be poorer gps signal at times? we our using a raven 600s globe and we added a imu now . the integral is set around 4 .
What app version? Did you try a higher integral?
The second to last version seems to work the best of the three or four last versions. The last version when we were using it could not even hold it on target rate. We have tried adjusting all the control settings and the best it works is when the integral is set at 5, gain 45,max power 100 ,and min to 55.
