Futaba Fasst And Bavarian Demon Cortex: Compatible Combo?

The Bavarian Demon Cortex is a 3-axis stabilization system for R/C airplanes. It is compatible with Spektrum, JR 2-satellite receivers, Futaba S-Bus, and Jeti PPM systems. The Cortex can be used with Futaba FASST, as it is compatible with Futaba S-Bus. The system is designed to stabilize an aircraft in turbulent wind conditions and can be used with a variety of aircraft, from parkflyers to turbine jets. It features a Ready-to-Run feature, allowing for quick setup via radio without the need for a computer.

The Futaba R7008SB rx can be connected to the S.Bus port of the Bavarian Demon Cortex

The Futaba R7008SB rx is a receiver unit that is designed to work with the Futaba brand of radio transmitters. It features a wide bandwidth, high sensitivity, and low power consumption. It is a popular choice for RC enthusiasts due to its reliability and performance.

The Bavarian Demon Cortex is a 3-axis stabilization system for R/C airplanes. It offers incredible stability and safety for aircraft of all sizes, thanks to its small and lightweight package. It is fully compatible with all analog and digital protocols and features dual redundant serial input and output.

Connecting the Futaba R7008SB rx to the S.Bus port of the Bavarian Demon Cortex allows the two devices to communicate and work together to stabilize the aircraft. The Futaba R7008SB rx receives signals from the transmitter and sends them to the Bavarian Demon Cortex, which then adjusts the aircraft's control surfaces accordingly to maintain stability.

It is important to note that proper setup and configuration are crucial for optimal performance and safety. The gains, for example, may need to be adjusted based on wind conditions, as higher gains can lead to oscillations in windy conditions. Additionally, it is recommended to power the Bavarian Demon Cortex directly rather than relying on power from the USB connection when programming.

The Cortex can be connected to a PC via USB to configure the input mode of the system and assign channels

The Bavarian Demon Cortex is a 3-axis stabilization system for R/C airplanes. It is compatible with numerous serial receiver protocols, including Futaba S.Bus (input), up to 2 Spektrum/JR satellites, and all PPM serial signals like Jeti and Graupner.

The channels on the Cortex are marked by numbers only, and users are free to assign them as desired. However, at least connections 1, 2, and AUX (gyro gain channel) must be connected. The gyro gain channel should be associated with a transmitter channel to enable gain adjustments and to switch between the gyro's modes in flight.

For receivers with a serial output option, all channels are carried via a single cable. In this case, connect the receiver's serial output with port B on the Cortex, and the servos per channel assignment in the transmitter to ports 1-7.

The Cortex can be used with Hitec servos

The Bavarian Demon Cortex is a 3-axis stabilization system for R/C airplanes. It is compatible with all analog and digital protocols and supports up to 24 channels, with 16 channels that can be stabilized. The Cortex can be used with Hitec servos, which are servos designed for radio-controlled models and robotics. Hitec has been in the radio control industry since 1973 and offers a range of servos, including digital and analog servos.

Hitec digital servos have several advantages over analog servos, including instantaneous response, programmability, and enormous standing torque. The digital microprocessor of a digital servo is 10 times faster than an analog servo, resulting in a quicker response and the development of all the rated torque 1-degree off the center point. Hitec's proprietary programmer and servo test device, the HFP-10, allow for programmability in terms of the direction of rotation, center and end points, failsafe option, speed, and dead bandwidth adjustment. This is particularly useful for matching sets of servos in giant-scale aircraft applications.

The standing torque of a Hitec digital servo is three times that of an analog servo, providing more power and quicker response. However, one disadvantage of digital servos is their higher power consumption. To ensure proper servo performance, it is recommended to use a larger capacity battery and heavy-duty harnesses.

The Bavarian Demon Cortex, with its compatibility with all analog and digital protocols, can effectively utilize the advantages of Hitec digital servos. The high responsiveness and programmability of Hitec digital servos, combined with the stabilization capabilities of the Bavarian Demon Cortex, can provide a powerful and precise control system for R/C airplanes.

The Cortex can be used with Spektrum/JR satellites

The Bavarian Demon Cortex Pro 3-Axis Stabilization System is compatible with Spektrum or JR Satellites. The system supports up to 24 channels, with 16 channels having the ability to be stabilized. The Supply Voltage for the Cortex Pro ranges from 4-10V, with a minimum of 5.5V when using Spektrum or JR Satellites.

The Cortex Pro can be used with Spektrum's SRXL connection. However, it is important to note that the SRXL2 is a new serial protocol from Spektrum that may not be compatible with all equipment. When using the SRXL2, it is recommended to consult the list of tested and supported equipment.

The Bavarian Demon Cortex Pro can also be used with Spektrum Remote Receiver Satellites. These are typically used as remote receivers on other Spektrum products. This connection method is recommended for electric aircraft up to 120 size, but it is not supported by the Aura Professionals.

The Cortex can be used with Jeti Central Box 200

The Bavarian Demon Cortex is a 3-axis stabilization system for R/C airplanes. It can be used with the Jeti Central Box 200, which is a switchboard designed for servo management in a model aircraft with an emphasis on safety. The Jeti Central Box 200 has a unique design that provides overload protection at each servo output and can manage two batteries. It also fully supports the JETI EX telemetry system.

The Jeti Central Box 200 can be connected to the Bavarian Demon Cortex using the dual serial outputs of the latter. The Jeti Central Box 200 can then be used to power the Bavarian Demon Cortex, with the former's regulated output voltage being output via MPX connections (up to 15A per connection).

The Jeti Central Box 200 is not the only option for powering the Bavarian Demon Cortex, as it can also be powered directly. Additionally, the Bavarian Demon Cortex Pro can also be used with the Jeti Central Box 400, which has 24 programmable and fused servo connections.
