5. Tatūnga me te Whakatikatika

The following instructions detail how to adjust the Helloradio VG01 CNC Hall Gimbals. Refer to your transmitter's manual for specific gimbal replacement procedures.

Image 5.1: A diagram illustrating the dimensions of the gimbal and key adjustment points for tension and centering.

1. Left and Right Spring Tension Adjustment (Point 1 on diagram):
   Turn the screw clockwise to reduce the left and right spring tension. Turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase the left and right spring tension.
2. Up and Down Spring Tension Adjustment (Point 2 on diagram):
   Turn the screw clockwise to reduce the up and down spring tension. Turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase the up and down spring tension.
3. Centering and Mode Adjustment (Point 5 on diagram):
   When the screw is turned clockwise to raise the arm, the gimbal will not center its up and down axis when the stick is released. This is typically used for throttle control (Mode 2). When the screw is turned counter-clockwise to lower the arm, the gimbal will center its up and down axis when the stick is released. You can also use screw 6 to raise or lower the arm for fine-tuning.
4. Throttle Tension Adjustment (Point 3 on diagram):
   When there is no tension up and down (e.g., for throttle), screw 3 adjusts the tension tightness. Screw 4 adjusts the scale tightness.

Note: The physical orientation of the gimbal may turn 180 degrees from the diagram depending on transmitter installation. Always ensure adjustments are made carefully and tested before flight.

6. Tiaki

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Helloradio VG01 CNC Hall Gimbals, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Whakapai auau: Keep the gimbals free from dust, dirt, and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Tirotiro: Periodically inspect the gimbals for any signs of wear, loose screws, or damage. Ensure all connections are secure.
• Whakahinuhinu: The Hall sensors and bearings are generally maintenance-free. Avoid applying lubricants unless specifically recommended by the manufacturer, as this could attract dust or interfere with sensor operation.
• Rokiroki: Store the gimbals in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight when not in use.

7. Te Raru

If you encounter issues with your Helloradio VG01 CNC Hall Gimbals, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Unresponsive or Erratic Movement:
  
  • Check all wiring connections between the gimbal and the transmitter's main board. Ensure they are secure and correctly oriented.
  • Verify that the gimbal is properly seated and mounted within the transmitter.
  • Recalibrate the gimbals within your transmitter's firmware settings. Refer to your transmitter's manual for calibration procedures.
  • Inspect for any physical obstructions or debris that might be impeding gimbal movement.
• Incorrect Centering:
  
  • Perform a gimbal calibration through your transmitter's software.
  • Adjust the centering screw (Point 5 in Section 5) to ensure the gimbal returns to the desired center position.
• Inconsistent Tension:
  
  • Adjust the spring tension screws (Points 1 and 2 in Section 5) to achieve the desired feel.
  • Ensure the throttle tension screws (Points 3 and 4 in Section 5) are set correctly for non-centering axes.

If problems persist after attempting these steps, contact Helloradio customer support or your retailer for further assistance.
