Jeti Setup Notes Using ExBus Input

Under CONSTRUCTION: Will CLEAR this Note when USABLE!!

Always start with a reset/new transmitter model!

NOTE: You will use the 3-Pin to 4-Pin Male to Male cable provided to connect the Jeti Rx to the FLEXF3. This is the same cable arrangement shown on page 15 of the manual for the Futaba connections. (Non-Telemetry)
These instructions supplement the printed manual. Please read the manual before proceeding.



Preliminary Aura Settings for Jeti EX Bus

Use the Aura Config Tool to make these settings. Be sure to SAVE the settings and "Write All to Aura" after adjustments.

Wizard

  • Run the Flex -> New Aura Config File Wizard in the Aura Config Tool and fill it out as you normally would.
    • Typically you would choose No Throttle in Throttle Type and use a Jeti Receiver Port.
    • Choose Jeti for Transmitter Type
    • Choose Jeti EX Bus for Reciever Type
    • Choose Port A for Aura Port
  • Finish the Wizard.
  • File -> Save and put the file in a know folder on your PC
  • Connect and Write All to Aura to load your initial settings on the Aura

Setup Tab

  • Go to the Setup tab and confirm the Transmitter and Receiver Setup as above.

Legacy Jeti Setup Notes Using UDI input

This document will provide the instructions and reference materials. Please START by downloading and thoroughly reviewing this file:

Remember Aura Expects one Aileron, one Elevator, and one Rudder signal along with a Flight Mode change Signal (as listed in the Reference Materials) to provide basic function.

Note: These instructions apply to the standard Aura 8 and to the Aura Professionals while noting that Port A is the preferred UDI input for Aura Professionals.

Jeti Transmitter Files

Jeti Systems require more configuration than some other brands due to the several facts including that it does not have a supported 'always on' and dedicated serial data port for UDI, and because it shares an identical UDI/SRXL header byte (identifier code) with JR DMSS Mode B. Jeti is very flexible and powerful, but follows the European tradition of requiring the user to configure many things 'from scratch' (Examples: Flap System, Serial Output for specific Receiver).

We strongly recommend starting fresh with our transmitter file that provides a pre-configured setup of the channel data in the order, amount, and direction, etc Aura Expects. These are the general purpose transmitter files for typical models (If the UDI settings do not come in automatically, you can set them per the references in the PDF file just above) Load the appropriate file into your transmitter and select the model:

Note: When using these Transmitter Model Files, you should be able to simply Auto-Detect (as JR Mode B), Check, and Fly Flex Innovations PNP models like the Cessna 170, Mamba 10, and QQ Extra. No Aura programming is required at all.

Open Stock Aura Programming

For Aura Quick Setup users It works just like other supported brands when using the .JSN files above, and auto-detects as JR Mode B! Connect your UDI Pin/Port to servo Port B of the standard Aura 8. (Port A is preferred for the Aura Professionals)

For Open Stock Aura Config Tool users, it is highly recommended that you use the New Aura Config File (Wizard) and create a model file specifically for your model. We do provide these files for Test/Reference however.

Helpful links for Jeti Information and Firmware

NOTE: The special UDI 16 3.24 firmware has a different Header ID byte and is not supported at this time.
NOTE: The S.bus 3.24 firmware has not been tested and is not supported by Flex Innovations.

Check/Update your Jeti receiver firmware before continuing! Firmware 3.24 standard or higher is considered MANDATORY by Flex Innovations.
