Futaba GYD560 Car Gyro

Full specifications

Small dual-mode gyro (Normal/AVCS) specially designed for drifting RC cars with S.BUS/S.BUS2 and SR/UR servo support. Possibility of remote gain control and switching of Normal/AVCS operating mode, setting of deflection limits, gyro response sense, selection of servo type (Digital, SR and UR).

GYD560 is a lightweight programmable dual-mode micro gyro with integrated MEMS sensor specially developed for control and stabilization of drifting car models with the possibility of remote gain control and switching of operating modes using the transmitter. It has the ability to set a number of parameters using the button and LED on the gyro or directly in the menu of compatible Futaba transmitters (T10PX with the latest firmware version) and is equipped with an S.BUS/S.BUS2 input port. Gyro operation is indicated by an LED indicator.

Three operating modes (switched via remote gain control: signal -110%~0% Normal mode, -0% gyro off, 0%~+110% AVCS mode)

Normal – The operating mode of a classic gyro; the gyro suppresses unwanted deviation only until the movement in the stabilized axis stops. The gyro thus dampens unwanted steering deviation, but does not ensure that the model returns to its original direction of travel.
AVCS (Heading Hold) – In AVCS mode, the gyro not only stops unwanted movement in the stabilized axis, but is also able to return the model to its original direction of travel, so the stabilization of the model’s control is much more effective.
Gyro off – Stabilization is off, only you control the model.

Both stabilization modes can have their advantages in different driving modes and piloting styles; thanks to the remote switching option, you can choose the optimal operating mode with the optimal gain value individually for each driving mode.
Remote Gain Control
Using one channel of the RC kit for remote gain control, the gyro gain can be adjusted using the transmitter. This allows you to have the optimal gain value programmed on the transmitter for each driving mode of the model.

Programmable parameters (directly on the gyro or a compatible Futaba transmitter)

Servo type – Normal digital and SR or UR mode (only with compatible Futaba servos and RC kits)
Gyro response direction – Determines the gyro response direction.
Neutral – Sets the neutral position of the steering servo.
Steering deflection limit - Allows you to set the limit of the maximum steering servo deflections independently to the right and left. This ensures that the servo and steering mechanism do not go beyond the mechanical limits of the possible range of movement.

Connection to the receiver
The gyro can be connected to a classic receiver with PWM channel outputs for individual servos (steering channel + gain control channel) or to the S.BUS/S.BUS2 serial output of the receiver – in this case, a single cable is enough.
Compatible servos
The gyro can only work with digital servos (for 4.8 V and HV up to 8.4 V power supply). When using a compatible transmitter (Futaba T10PX) and receiver (Futaba R404SBS/R404SBS-E), it allows the use of Futaba digital servos in UR mode with extremely fast response.

The gyro kit includes: gyro GYD560, double-sided foam adhesive tape for mounting the gyro, connecting cables, miniature screwdriver, operating instructions.
