Beier modules advanced functions.
This articles deals with what you can do with the Beier modules over and above the basic functionality that we have dealt with so far.
DIAGNOSTICS
The first stop is recording and viewing diagnostic information. The USM-RC-2 and the SFR1 are both capable of recording diagnostic information onto the SD card and their teacher applications can play that information back. The USM-RC-2, the SFR1 and the UFR1230 can also show diagnostic information via the data cable.
Getting started with Beier modules (5 the ESC)
Beier actually sell 3 (at the time of writing) ESC modules. The UFR1230, UFR1230D (both esc and lights) and the SFR1(sound, esc and lights). To set the esc up under the configuration tab select ESC
This is from the SFR1 but the UFR1230 tab is more or less the same except that some things are in different positions.
Getting started with Beier Modules (4 controlling the engine sound)
The last article showed how to load sounds to the module. The Additional sounds can be triggered by functions (selected by stick position on the TX) The engine sound control is a little different and has its own tab under the configuration tab. This tab uses the sounds that were defined under the top level tab engine sound.

Getting started with Beier Modules (0 prerequisites)
The Beier modules are hugely capable becoming used more widely. They differ from other modules out there in that they are hugely flexible and programable.

Getting started with Beier Modules (3 Functions)
So now we know how to connect the unit and set the radio up to control it and how to manipulate the proportional channels, but what do we control? Well essentially we control one or more of a number of functions. The list is rather large and this is where things get a bit tricky as you may set up and control the functions but unless there is some order to it it will be extremely difficult to remember what is what. I have been using the Beier modules for a number of years and so have come to a method that works for me. It essentially revolves around grouping actions together on one channel. So I will have lights on one channel, horns on another, selectable sounds , engine controls etc.
