"Roll Trim Required"... Why?

Post by Kahuna »

HXr/Mini. When running AP off the Mini, I get constant errors on the HXr "Roll trim required". Disconnecting the AP and the planes flies level with no trim required. How do I make it stop? I do not get the errors on running the AP from the HXr. All software is up to date and I started getting these messages after a software update.
Thanks
Mike

We added servo slip alarms last summer (they suggest TRIM), but they only work correctly on the display that's currently controlling the servos. In the updates we just posted (June 8, 2018) we added a "Controller Number" setting in A/P Maintenance so the EFIS can detect which display unit is controlling the servos and disable the alarm on the screens that aren't. Set the primary controller to 1 and set any others to 2.
