ORIGINAL: sky-pilot A.T: thanx for information!
I am pretty noob to Tx setups and mixing setup too but quite familiar with the aircrafts designs like planes and vtols( that use a lot of mix setup) so my question is if I can do mixing between servos and motors speeds for example if the both servos used as elvators and as ailerons and such mixings that are very common in vtol desings you know.. it is maybe a stupid question But is the optic 6 capaple of doing that without " external mixer" I am a noob at this area as I said so thanx for taking your time
Sorry, to many unknown parameters. Appears you wish to mix multiple ESC. There are now many seeking additional mixes, especially for robotics, not dreamed of by the designers and even now used by to few to incorporate as a specific function. Tutorial page 12:
"PROGRAMMABLE MIXERS (PMIX1)
Programmable mixing is the ability to mix two channels together to perform a common task. This is an important feature to learn, as without the ability to mix channels, many of the advanced features on the Optic 6 cannot be performed. Your Optic 6 has two programmable mixing circuits, and each is a separate operation, although it is possible for one mixing circuit to affect another mixing circuit. Remember that when using a mixing circuit, you must always specify which channel is a MASTER channel, and which channel is a SLAVE channel. The Master channel is the control circuit that the Slave channel follows."
I will try various set ups over next few days - unless someone else has already tried and answers first. Your requirements may not be met by any TX under a 9-12ch system or a Marine ESC / Rudder Mixer .
