PICOOZ IR v4 Released

greg | April 9, 2008

What has 17 buttons, an infrared port, and has likely been replaced by a much sexier, slimmer model? It’s that fat PSP collecting dust on your shelf. Showing some love, ‘cuz you know they need it too, is Pacopad with a new version of Picooz IR — the homebrew app enabling flight control over one of these IR-enabled bad boys…

Picooz Helicopter

So if you have a Picooz helicopter and a PSP Fat, strap into your virtual cockpit and get down with the get down, baby. Yeah I said it before, so what?

PICOOZ IR v4 changes:

  • Remodeling of the GUI
  • Remodeling of “Engine” flying over cuts during flight
  • Addition of picooz Sky Challengers
  • Interface in English

Download: PICOOZ IR v4

i doubt it since the slim doesn’t have the infrared port. would be pointless :)

Never used one of the helicopters personally but I hear they like to spin around and not fly forward. Oddly enough I saw a youtube video of someone taping two paperclips to the nose to give the front end a bit of weight and allow forward flying. Dunno if this means anything but I figured I’d put it out there.

Man these things are so damn expensive…. I will never get to try it. The only use I could ever have with this thing is going to the park and hijacking their shit and crashing it into the pavement.

This is nice. I saw a video of an RC car with a mounted camera, and it displayed it on the PSP screen while the operator controlled it. It looked sweet.

Just tested this with several of my airhogs helis, one of the latest bugs, the apache, and a clone.. Works superb! Although it takes a bit of getting used to.

I have a fairy, but i can’t get the helicopter to react on any type of commando.. Don’t know why, i chose the fairy, and i chose channel B (i have tested all of the channels and models for your information q:-p). But still, it won’t work?

And one bug that you should take care of; Most times when i try to shut dont the app in comes to the “please wait…” screen, and from there it freezes and shuts down the entire console.

Im on 3.90 m33-3.

Check the ebay stores, they’re usually pretty reliable I find, though shipping can be painful.

Yer for some reason mine is not working with the psp, it is a fairy type and the picture is exact same as my helicopter. Does anyone know why it doesnt work, and maybe help me and some other people.

(playing with the original remote) it doesnt fly straight, and (Neogen45) saying that he saw someone on youtube putting 2 paper clips to fly straight is a really good idea, thanks for bringing it up.

I am on 1.5/3.40 OE-A

Hehe the store i work for in Sweden sells these choppers, they cost about 32 euros in store, but we get to buy them for about 10 euros (the price that the store gets to buy them in from china). ..

DiDzZY04: A bit of topic, but this may help.. You have 2 trim buttons on the remote, trim the left button (normally that one that stops the spin). Second, and absolutely most important thing to do in order to make it stop spinning: Bend the whole back propeller to the right (looking at it from behind).. dont worry, it wont break or snap of, so give it a couple of good bends.. this will make it fly straight and fast, the more you bend, the more result, just bend back to adjust it after your needs! :)

Thanks for that (Admir_sweden), i will try that very soon, before i have been messing around with it and sometimes it goes straight, however then i crash it and then it goes back to normal lol odd few times.

Can anyone help me with the problem of the program not working with my helicopter? I have the fairy type… and i am on 1.5/3.40 OE-A…
Thanks.

DiDzZy its normal to have to trim them every flight. Ifs its spinning right press the left trim till it stops and vice versa.

Are you picking the right channel?

Also you have to make sure the IR transmitter on the top of your psp is pointing towards the chopper.

 
Comment by DiDzZY04
2008-04-12 10:31:56

I am pointing at the helicopter from the IR, still not working, but then i was thinking is it the ‘mode’ you have to change when pressing R1. for some reason it doesnt work when i try to change the mode on the fairy type but works on the other types of copter(changing modes).
can anyone tell me please how to get it to work please. it is not the version of my psp i have to change, because i leave it on 1.5.
Thanks for replying back.

I’ve also tried all of that, nothing happens simply wont work! :-(!

Sometimes even tough you have trimmed it and bent the back propeller it still may spin, if it goes into a left spin simply command it to go go right, then it will stop and start flying forward.. In order to make it turn left/right you gotta lay of the trottle a bit, order it to go left/right, and THEN give about full trottle, this will make it turn the right way and after the needed turn is done simply command it to go to the opposite turn to stop the turn..

 
Comment by DiDzZY04
2008-04-12 13:49:36

I am going to wait for an update version of this, if he makes one, because there are still bugs like when you are trying to turn this program off, it just freezes then i will have to turn it off. Also that when i am trying the other channels, slowly it starts to take the picture off and then messes up like flickering the screen.

so Greg can you please update this program because it is a really good program you are making, also can you say in this forum why all of the copters like my (fairy type) isnt working.

Thanks.
