Setup

Follow these steps for the initial setup and calibration of your DUMBORC G03 Gyroscope.

1. Gyro Calibration

Before turning on the G03, ensure your RC car is in a stationary position. The gyroscope light will flash alternately red and green. Once calibrated, the light will become steady red.

2. Setting for End Point

This limits the maximum movement of the servo to protect it from mechanical damage.

1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver.
2. Long press the setting button for 2 seconds. The red and green lights will flash quickly to enter the EPA setting.
3. When the directional handwheel (CH1) is screwed to the right to the maximum, the red light will be on for 2 seconds. When the handwheel (CH1) is screwed to the left to the maximum, the red light will be on for 2 seconds. At this time, the EPA setting of the handwheel (CH1) is completed. If you do not adjust the gyroscope sensitivity through the remote control channel, press the setting button to complete the EPA setting. Otherwise, continue with the following operations.
4. If you want to adjust the gyroscope sensitivity through the remote control, continue to set the EPA value for setting the gyroscope channel on the remote control after completing the EPA setting of the direction handwheel (CH1) in the previous step. Take CH6 as an example. If you screw CH6 to the minimum value, the red light will be on for 2 seconds. If you screw CH6 to the maximum value, the red light will be on for 2 seconds.

At this time, the red and green lights continue to flash alternately. Press the setting button to save the settings, and the red light will keep on.

Note: If the lights do not appear as described, check the wire connections.

3. Set Up Reverse

This is used for changing the direction of the Gyro effect. If the Gyro effect direction is not correct, please change the setting as informed below. If the Gyro effect is correct, you do not need to follow these steps.

1. After turning on the transmitter and receiver, check the movement of steering.

2. Press the gyroscope setting button briefly. The LED light will flash, and the direction switch is successful.

Note: End point setting and reverse setting need only to be performed once. These settings are saved to the memory of the unit. If you change the transmitter, receiver, or servo, please do these settings again.

Operating

Understand the functions and connections of your DUMBORC G03 Gyroscope for effective operation.

Connection and LED Indicator

• The 4P cable is connected to the 4P seat of the gyroscope.
• The other end of the 3P cable is connected to the CH1 of the receiver (ST: Steering).
• A single wire CH3 is connected to the CH3 of the receiver or other corresponding channels.
• LED Indicator:
  • No signal: light blinks slowly
  • Signal: the red light is always on

Function Controls

• Function 1. PCA (Priority Control Adjuster):
  • Adjusts the mixing rate of the steering signal and Gyro effect signal.
  • Operating Method: When the knob is turned to the left, the priority is increased. When turned to the right, the priority is reduced. Start PCA position from center and adjust to your preference.
• Function 2. AGS (Anti Glitching System):
  • Used to adjust the speed of the wheel slow back.
  • Operating Method: When the knob is turned to the left to the maximum, the wheel return speed is slowest. When turned to the right to the maximum, the wheel return speed is fastest.
• Function 3. GAIN (Gyro Gain Adjustment):
  • This function is adjusted by the VR of the unit or CH3 of the controller.
  • Operating Method: Rotating the GAIN volume to the left increases the gain, otherwise reduces the gain. If glitching occurs by increasing the gain, readjust the AGS volume. If glitching does not stop with the AGS volume, please reduce the gain. When starting use, please test from about 50% (volume center) and increase/decrease depending on your preference. The knob function on the gyroscope is invalid when the gain of the gyroscope is controlled through the transmitter.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DUMBORC G03 Gyroscope, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

• Keep Clean: Regularly clean the exterior of the gyroscope with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Protect from Elements: Keep the unit away from dust, dirt, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
• Secure Connections: Periodically check all cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from damage. Loose connections can lead to intermittent performance.
• Avoid Physical Impact: While designed for RC environments, excessive physical shock can damage internal components.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DUMBORC G03 Gyroscope, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No LED Indication: Check power connections to the gyroscope and receiver. Ensure the receiver is powered on.
• Incorrect Gyro Effect Direction: Refer to the "Set Up Reverse" section in the Setup guide to correct the direction.
• Glitching or Unstable Performance:
  • Adjust the GAIN setting. If increasing gain causes glitching, try reducing the AGS volume.
  • If glitching persists, reduce the GAIN setting further.
  • Ensure all connections are firm and free from interference.
• No Response from Steering: Verify that the 3P cable is correctly connected to CH1 of the receiver and the servo is properly connected to the gyroscope. Check the transmitter and receiver for proper binding and battery levels.
• Settings Not Saving: Ensure you press the setting button to save changes after making adjustments to EPA or reverse settings. If changing transmitters, receivers, or servos, settings may need to be re-applied.
