HereLink Calibrations

Last updated 1 year ago

Controller Calibrations

Open the 'HereLink Settings' App on the controller (green gear icon). This can be found by tapping on the square icon located on the bottom right of the home screen. Look for the App icon with a gear and green background.

Click 'JOYSTICK' tab

Note: The Herelink Blue is calibrated before shipment and does not require calibration by the user before use.

Note: This should not need to be done for HereLink Blue, only the HereLink Black controller. But calibrations can be checked to confirm they are completed and as desired.

Here are some controller calibration and function settings.

  • SAVE (after modified controller configuration must click save to take effect)

  • Calibrated (calibration state, If the indicator is red, calibration for roller hardware, rocker hardware and SBUS output is necessary. If the indicator is green, it is normal and no calibration is required)

  • HW WHEEL CAL

  • HW JS CAL

  • SBUS OUT CAL SBUS

  • AXIS

  • INPUT

  • REV

  • DZ

  • EXPO

  • CH#

  • Wheel Acc

  • Throt Cent 0

  • Mode

  • Dual Cont

  • MAIN

  • IP

First time use requires three calibration steps:

1. Calibrate the Hardware Wheel

  • Select “HW WHEEL CAL”

  • Click "Start Rollwheel" & follow the calibration steps. Note: Once complete you can check it's functioning correctly by looking at the value changes.

  • Move the wheel all the way left and right a few times.

  • Click “Pass” to return to the joystick screen.

After the Rollwheel calibration is complete, proceed to the next step.

2. Calibrate the Joysticks

Click "HW JS CAL"

Click "Start Calibration" to begin the process and follow the instructions in the green box, and the stick movement arrows located around the sticks on the remote as highlighted in RED below.

Note: At the beginning of the calibration process, the stroke of the joystick on the screen will not change with the physical joystick movements. You need to calibrate according to the instructions.

At the end of this process if you are happy with the input behavior you can click "Pass" and the calibration will be stored, if you're experiencing any issues click "Fail" and start the calibration process again using a little more pressure in the corners.

After the Joy-Stick calibration is complete, proceed to the next step.

3. Calibrate SBUS Output

Follow the RC stick movement steps as shown in the highlight section moving the sticks through each position. Finally, move the wheel, then the calibration is done!

Once all calibrations have been completed the **Calibrated ** status will turn GREEN which indicates that all remote calibrations have been completed.

PRESS the "SAVE" button for all the calibrations to take effect.

Controller Settings

RC Transmitter Modes

RC Transmitter Modes can be set selected using the Mode option at the bottom, click 'SAVE' to save the modification. Mode 2 is the most common, standard configuration.

For some special models that cannot use the mid-throttle, you can select 'Throt Cent 0' to set the mid-throttle to throttle 0, then click SAVE to save the modification.

Wheel Settings

The wheel is set as W axis input, you can click 'REV' to reverse the input.

'CH#' is used to configure the output channels, SBUS1 for channel 1-16, SBUS2 for channel 17-32.

Click 'Wheel Acc' to make the output stack and not return to the middle, then click 'SAVE' to save the modification.

Dual Control Mode

Herelink Blue can use 2 controllers to control 1 Air unit in order to meet more requirements. This function requires connecting the WiFi hotspot of the secondary controller to the master controller or connecting the master controller and the secondary controller to the same WiFi to access the LAN.

  • Master switch setting: Click 'Dual Cont' and 'MAIN' then click 'SAVE' to save the modification.

Secondary controller: RC channel will show up after connection, you can assign the secondary controller's Joystick and Wheel channel to any channel of the master control, then click 'SAVE' to save the modification.

  • Secondary controller setting: click 'Dual Cont.' and select the corresponding IP address. If the master and secondary controller connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot, set the IP address to 192.168.43.1

  • If you access the LAN, follow the steps below to check the master IP address, then click 'SAVE' to save the modification.

To check the master IP address, you can open the Wi-Fi interface and then click the Settings icon in the upper right corner, then you can check the IP in it.

The master image can be displayed on the secondary controller, and the image and data can be connected to the QGroundControl ground station according to the data sharing procedure later.

Trainer Mode

Dual control can also be used as a trainer mode for teaching.

  • Turn on and connect master and secondary control.

  • Set the X2, Y2, Z2, R2 channels of the secondary controller on the main control as channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively, corresponding to the main control channel. Click 'SAVE' to save the settings after completion.

After setting, press the CAM button in the upper right corner of the main control to make channel 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the secondary control. Release the button to make channel 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the main control normal.
