Nice little snippet John. Lots of different configurations to be had if you just experiment. Keep up the good work.

An excellent idea John! The Chicken Feet are something that are most unlikely to get bumped or caught in your trousers leg while carrying the Tx. In addition to using P2 as a complete timer reset as you have done I assume that it would be just as easy to add P6 to reactivate the Throttle but continue the flight with the current run time as the start point. The end positions being the easiest to access.

Sure, the logic is there, so you have momentary switches. You can use special functions to react to those switches in whatever combo you want.

Thanks. I had some idea for the 6p switch. Can't remember what it was, but I'm sure this would solve it.😂

Good deal. Have fun playing around with it.

John, thanks for these useful hints for the 6-pos-switch. But is there also a way how to turn on the corresponding LED of the activated switch? ..and leave it on as long as there is no hit to any other switch of the six?

@RCVideoReviews Жыл бұрын

The LED stays on the last activated switch. As far as I know there is no way to change that behavior.

Love the idea of P6 being the throttle cut, but I don't see the six position switch in the pre-flight settings to give me the warning. Is there a way to create a switch warning for the 6 position switch?

@RCVideoReviews Жыл бұрын

Since the 6p always starts in position 1, I guess there's no point in using a warning...?

@terminsane Жыл бұрын

Is it possible to change the 6pos in software, so i press the 2nd position and after 5 seconds it automatically switches back to 1st position?

Not that I know of.

@@rayoddono2067 Hi Ray, go to tab where you calibrate your radio (ex: gimbles, switches, etc) also during the calibration process press the 6 pos switch/buttons and see them activate on the screen, then confirm or complete the calibration process.
