SmartPropoPlus Cable for MiniDIN plug (E-Sky).


Warning:
It has been brought to my attention of a few cases of smoky smell emitted from the transmitter when connected to the cable.
I assume that this was a result of a short-circuit. In all cases, no damage was reported.
In such case, you must disconnect the cable immediately and double-check it before reconnection.

Identifying your R/C Transmitter and the trainer socket:


The socket usually resides at the rear of the R/C Transmitter. Do not confuse it with the charger (DC) socket.
Find the socket with the four small holes inside a round area with a notch and a rectangular hole, as in Figure 1:

What you will need:


1. S-Video miniDin plug that fits into the trainer socket.
2. One 3.5mm audio (mono) jack that fits into the your soundcard’s audio input (e.g. Microphone). As in Figure 2
3. About 2 meters of cable by which you will connect your R/C Transmitter to the soundcard. The cable should
consist of 2 or more electrical wires. It is preferable that the wires will be coated with insulators of different colors
so you can distinguish between the two.
4. Soldering equipment.

Soldering:
Use Figure 3 to guide you in your work.
The MiniDIN plug is viewed from behind the plug, the way you see it while soldering.
The signal line (red) connects pin 1 to the central tab of the audio jack.
