Hobbyking 's new PPM Signal Mixer for their Head-Movement-Tracker Gyro.

Hobbyking release today a PPM Signal Mixer version B fortheir Head-Movement-Tracker Gyro. This will help people with entry level Futaba transmitter to use the HT. Basically, from what I understand from the description, it adds channels to the ppm stream generated by your transmitter. If your transmitter has 6 channels, it becomes an 8-channel TX (you need a 8 channel receiver to really use it, of course).

From the website:

PPM Signal Mixer is specifically designed for those who own low end Futaba transmitters (such as the 6EX), allowing you to also use thehead movement tracking system. And even can be used with JRtransmitters. (soon available)

This version B is designed for 6EXtransmitter which comes with 8 channels receiver.

Just connect the PPM signal mixer inbetween the Advance Head-Movement-Tracker Gyro and the Transmitter and PPM signalmixer will map new channels special for X-GYRO 1000 via the transmitter.Then it maps 2 channels, and put them after the transmitter channels,now it’s 7 CH and 8 CH, that ‘s why you need a 8CH receiver. Connect theservos to 7CH and 8CH.

Note: Only works with Futaba transmitters.

Spec.
Weight: 4g
Voltage Supply: 8V-12V

I have a JR radio with the Corona 2.4ghz hack mod(also at Hobby City). I wonder if this mixer can get soldered into the ppm stream where the hackmod hooks up?
