Once again my problems are a multi-bardwell marathon screening. After a bowl of popcorn and 3 videos I have a night of debugging ahead of me. Thank you JB. Patreon’d yesterday but far too late for the value you give to the universe

Without JB, this hobby would not be the same. Thank you! The explanation of the ELRS hybrid configuration saved me hours of research.

Great resource, sir! It took me many hours to discover just a couple of these items. The 'no inputs for auxiliary channels' bit can save pilots a lot of, um, consternation. Thanks!

I have my mixer set up using the switch setting you describe as being wrong here but it’s a variant of your all modes on one channel method. The way I am doing it though doesn’t try to cram everything into one channel but groups modes together that don’t need to be activated at the same time with no more than one mode that does. This minimizes the number of ranges needed in BetaFlight. There is a limit to how many you can have in BetaFlight. Think it’s about 22 to 25.

I had similar issues a year or two back when I bought a Jumper TX. Four of the switches didn't work and I flashed, changed and checked the software and settings before hitting the forums. I was so worried it was the board. Read the forums and they suggested opening and flipping the cables. This worked. At some point they should have used a thicker wire as the wire ribbon is so thin that the latch crimps the cable so thin not all paths make contact.

Thank you for the information, spent 2 hours last night trying to figure out why my 3 position switch on my new boxer only acted as a 2 position, drove me crazy that the higher values were not registering. I ended up resetting the switch mix with the reset feature and started reprogramming the mixer. Some how I must have assigned a value to that switch drop down and limited the range. Your video now confirms that the radio did not have a bug, it was all me being to lazy to read the full documentation. Thank you again for putting my mind at ease and explaining the actual issue.

Hi, so basically I have pretty much the same problem , but my 3 position switch works on radio but doesn't display on betaflight

@RCwithAdam1 8 ай бұрын

ALSO, if you are using CROSSFIRE NANO V3 RX, make sure it is set to 12 channel mode instead of 8CH. This video led me to that. Thanks Bardwell.

it's so hard to find simple answers to simple problems as a noob on edgetx... i just want a 100 to -100 switch. but can only seem to set up momentary switch on button. it's so frustrating. you almost told me how to do it. almost.

@JoshuaBardwell 5 ай бұрын

What are you trying to do? Turn a momentary switch into a toggle? This isn't really a setup tutorial but if you tell me what you're trying to do, I probably have a video that shows how to do it.

@wongbu7043 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for: ELRS only outputs 2 positions. The issue now is that my minipix fc with its pre-installed firmware doesn't have the parameter to change the channel for flight modes which is set to channel 5.

I was setting up flight modes on two switches a while back. It was not working and I was getting very odd outputs on the debug keys screen. (Basically, I was seeing switch changes when moving a different physical switch.) I emailed Radiomaster for advice. They suggested removing the main ribbon cable in the Tx, cleaning the contacts (I wiped them with alcohol) and reinstalling it. That fixed it, and it's been fine for over a year. FYI for anyone troubleshooting.

@istim Жыл бұрын

I daisy chained the inputs and mixes first time I did it because I thought you had to describe everything at each stage. When you first encounter the tiers of control menus it does seem awfully confusing with excessive redundancy, I guess there is a good reason for it outside of drones, maybe?

@CDRaff Жыл бұрын

It's for setting up advanced features on craft without a computer controller. Crow on a glider is a good example. Crow is used for slowing down and requires the coordinated use of aileron, elevator, and flaps. You could make independent inputs for each control surface with certain restrictions specifically for crow(like adding a little bit of reflex in the wing via raising the ailerons, and adding a bit of down elevator to counteract the flaps), and then mix those together in the mixer so you can assign it to a switch or slider that will control all the inputs at once. All this could be done just with the mixer, but using inputs adds the ability to fine tune the behavior of each of the controls independently.

i have been having a problem with the beepers on my quads, not sure why cuz the switch and buzzer are working so not sure i have the QX7S

@sunsetpark_fpv Жыл бұрын

In your failsafe tab check the value of your buzzer switch. Usually, you'll want failsafe to activate the buzzer, but if you power up with no radio, it's going to drive you batshit. I'm not sure if that's your problem but...maybe it will help.

Are you using USB-C to C cable? That can cause problems. Get a USB hub with USB-A ports and/or use a USB OTG adapter.
