Hall sensor for Gear programming with Jeti Radio

This advance programming with the Jeti Hall sensor, will prevent door jams in the event of gear failure. If gear fails to fully retract and the door is trying to close on it, the servo can draw a lot of current, get burned and stuck, which might cause the gear to get suck in that position and never deply back to the open position. It can even drain your battery or cause a short in the plane - essentially destroying the entire model.

I added voice on event of a failure ("Front gear failure") or successul retruction ("Gear retraction completed"). It helps assuring that you can continue your flight without worring about your gear.

Below, you'll see 3 ways of implementation.

  • A simple one: No sequencing required. When the gear is fully retracted, the door closes. When the gear down switch is on, the door opens.

  • A more complex system: The hall sensor triggers the sequencer.

  • A lot more complex system: Prevents door jam when gear goes up or down (in the event that the door closes after the gear is fully deployed.

Installation

Wiring to use two hall sensor in a row with only one digital input to the receiver

Hall sensor positioned

3d printed ring on strat + magnet

Simple implementation on a Carf SU27 with no sequencing

More complex implementation with servo on the follow me door

Hall sensor + different sequence for up/down + delays
