Folks,
Having purchased a 1/6th scale all metal Leopard 2A4 from Armourtek (in UK) I have it mostly built but I am brand new to RC programming and I am using the FrSky Taranus X9D 2019+ transmitter.
Whilst I have managed to get the Tx to drive both tracks forward and reverse using the right gimble (12 oclock forward and 6 oclock reverse) I don't know how to program the 'mixes' to allow the tank to turn left or right using the right gimble.
For example I want to turn right so I push the lever to the 1 oclock through 5 oclock postion to turn the tank to the right.
I want it to go slightly right at the 1 oclock (or left) at the 11 oclock position. Or fully right at the 3 oclock or 9 oclock for left.
I understand it has to do with programming the 'mixes' which is where I get lost.
Can some kind person get me started with what the mixes should look like please?
For info, I use the left gimble for the turret rotation, gun elevation, sound and lights etc. and only want to steer using the right gimble.
I appreciate any help you experts can offer.
Thanks

A disclaimer: I have no experience with ArmorTek. However, for steering there should not be any need to perform a complicated mix. You should have at least four basic channels from your motion pack to control driving forward and backward, then turret traverse and barrel elevation. On your receiver that should be channels 1 through 4 which should go into the control board. If you have photos to share I’m sure we can help better.

If you search the Armortek forum for single stick control or single stick motor control you should find the information you seek. I and several ther
members have posted on this subject several times. I use the FrSky Taranis x9d+ for this same purpose as well as the FrSky X20HD.

The mix is not complex and is easily accomplished on the Taranis when using OpenTx OS (Companion) or ETHOS OS with the FrSky
X-series radio handhelds. If you decide to go with other brands like Jumper- Now Radiomaster or Helloradio they use EdgeTx which a is more capable development of
OpenTX - however creating a mix is much the same.

A mix doesn't need to be that complex to effect the control of twin motors; most often though there's a shortcoming when making a turn when in reverse but manageable.

I happened to find an OpenTx Companion screen print I made some years back of an early version of the mix definitions I used for my Armortek M3 Lee.
Channels 3 and 4 are the two channels used and on the left stick. Some variation of this would be common across all systems. This was used on a Taranis as I recall.

Bear in mind you need to define the inputs and outputs.
