DX6i brainstorm

[Tony]

I've had a play around with my TX settings to mix my Aux2 channel to get 3 positions. ive mixed 2 switches to give me the 3 positions needed for selecting different profiles in cleanflight..

PLEASE NOTE I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS.....

This is what I've done if anyone with a DX6i is interested...

These are the 2 switches I'm using, the flaps/gyro switch and the elev d/r switch.

Now looking at the Cleanflight receiver tab we see the changes on aux 2, this is with both switches off

[Tony]

This is with the flaps switch on

What do you think guys, you recon it's a good idea?

[cml001]

Seen others use the mixing features to achieve things as such... Never messed with it personally... But if it works for u.. Roll with it!

[Derek]

As long as the mixing works in Cleanflight, I imagine it should work in flight. I've never messed with that much mixing either.

[danhampson]

I've used the same mix with my msh brain so that I had all three flight modes avaliable. Like Derek said as long as cleanflight picks all three up all's good.

[Tony]

Thanks guys, yeah CF picks it up no probs....

[Graham Lawrie]

Tried the flap one before and could not get it to work will try again Tony

[Tony]

Set it up exactly as mine Graham, works a treat.. You may only need to tweak the % settings...

[Graham Lawrie]

Tried it Tony and i can get it moving in the TX but not in the Cleanflight:(

What are your settings in Travel Adjustment?

[Tony]

have you been into your receiver tab on CF and seen the AUX 2 input working... with both switches OFF mine is around 1516 on the dark blue AUX 2 port. with flaps on it jumps to 1836, and with Elev D/R switch on it jumps to 2078... these figures depend on what % you setup in the TX so you can change them if you wish..

[Graham Lawrie]

No Iit has not moved in CF.

[Tony]

is this the problem you had the last time with your flaps/gyro switch not working.. even without these mods you should see the AUX 2 port changing when you flick the switch...!!! is it wired in from the RX to naze board?

[Graham Lawrie]

My aux switch the last time on the TX it did not work:( this time it is:) What wire would i need from Naze to the rx? Is it to aux channel as i have no wire in aux channel?

[Tony]

Pin 6 on the Naze port should go to the aux2 / gear channel on the rx

See page 5 of this pdf... I'm sure you've seen it, but it tells you which wires go to where from Naze breakout cable to RX
