Repurposing Trims

[jtroutt19]

Hey guys so I was browsing the net today and came across and interesting webpage

http://rc-soar.com/opentx/setups/adjuster/adjuster.htm

It describe the process of changing what the trims do. I don't use trims right now on my taranis and would be great to have them to adjust parameters in my flybarless controller. So I am here to ask are they changing the code itself of opentx to achieve this? If that is how it is done where can I get the source code and a tutorial on how to compile it myself after doing the changes? If there is an easier way to do it let me know. Thanks guys!

It should work as is. Where you use a stick as a mix source, untick the "Include trim" box.
Then you should be able to use the trims as mix sources.

Hmm where is the include trim box? Cannot find it in model settings or the radio settings. Is this something I need to do in companion

Yeah I see that but will assigning it to a mix automatically keep it from being used a trim as well. So if I assign my rudder trim to channel 9 to change tail gain, i dont want it also giving rudder trim.

Ahh i found it, in the inputs tab you select the input and change trim to off! thanks guys
