10x program question
 

Can a 10X snap roll switch be programmed to be used as a choke switch mixed to function channel 5 or any available channel. Thanks Walt

Walt,

1. Code 17 - Inhibit gear switch
2. Code 56 - Mix GEAR to GEAR (5 to 5) then select CURVE for TYPE and hit ENTER
3. Hit Page and select POS1 for SNP
4. Hit Page twice
5. Now adjust using the + and - your throw for POS0
6. While holding the SNAP button adjust your throw for POS1
7. Verify in Code 75 - Servo Monitor that it works.

That's all there is to it.
I wasn't able to do it without using a curve.

I appreciate this Rich, Thank you, Walt

To make it work in a standard mix, you can just enter an offest in the mix before inhibiting the channel in code 17.

You're right Danny, it works but it sure is more complicated to do. I don't think I understand OFFSET very well.

RE: 10x program question
 

Entering an offset is done simply by pressing the store key under offset. If you move the master channels position by the switch, slider, etc that controls the channel, the offset position changes when you press store again. This is not difficult to do. Offset redefines the center position of the master channel in that mix. Say if mixing elevator to flap for example, if you don't have any offset entered, the center position of the stick will be the center position of the mix. But if you enter an offset at say 1/2 up elevator, 1/2 up elevator will then be the center position of the mix, and the mix will move from the upper to lower percentage in the mix or vice versa at 1/2 up elevator rather than at center stick. When mixing a channel to itself however, and the master channel is inhibited, the center position will be used for the mix which without an offset will be a value of 0, then when the computer calculates the position of the channel, it is based off of a 0 value, which the result will be no movement. With an offset saved, movement will then be possible.

I got it, thanks.

Hey Rich, It works:) Im a happy camper, Walt

Guestion #2 the above works great. Now I would like to use the gear switch we just inhibited to turn on an Ignition Cutoff(Smart-Fly) which is connected to channel 7. Thanks Walt

RE: 10x program question
 

Ok Walt, here ya go:

1. Code 17 - INH AUX2
2. Code 51,52,53,54 or 55 - Mix Gear>Aux2 and hit ENTER
3. Hit PAGE twice and SELect ORIG for MASTER, hit PAGE
4. Now just use the + and - keys to adjust your settings for both switch positions. Don't worry about OFFSET.

NOTE: USE positive numbers for both switch positions. If it isn't in the direction you'd like then just TURN both switch positions to negative numbers.

Hope this works for ya,

I did the above program and with the +/- keys I am able to get it to come on or off but not selectable with the gear switch. The screen shows the switching position highlight but Im unable to get one side on and one side off. I have missed something..

I had to activate the aux2 and it works, thanks
