Blade 200 SRX with L6DSM -- usb cable??

Post by RootlessAgrarian »

Hi

Thanks to the authors of Heli-X for writing a portable sim that works on OSX!

My immediate issue is trying to find a usb adapter cable for my controller. I got one online that looked right (fits the mini-jack labelled "TRAINER" on the back of the controller") but when attached to a usb port on the iMac, the AA batteries in the controller heated up dangerously after only 10 minutes or so -- almost too hot to touch! :o So it seems like this is the wrong cable, or...

When removed, the batteries were fully discharged (they had been fairly new). So I'm guessing that there was a near-short in the adapter cable. I think the controller survived, but it was a scary moment! I'm glad I noticed before the plastic started to melt!

So, does anyone with a Blade 200 SRX and stock RTF controller know where to get the right usb adapter cable so I can train using Heli-X over the winter and be a better pilot come Spring??

Thanks
