6 flight modes, Taranis / APM 2.5

[krashem]

Any of you more experienced guys able to assist or clue me up. I have been using a Spektrum DX8 with my quadcopter,no complaints
Some helpful soul on the DIY Drones forum put up a tutorial to use the GEAR and F MODE switches mixed by %'s to obtain 6 flight modes, Alt hold,Loiter etc
Question is, how do I achieve the same or similar using the Taranis?

Much obliged to any and all able to help a novice with this conundrum.

Regards, Mike.

Hi Mike,
I'm not a the pro but I attached a copy of my APM model.
This should get you started. Make sure you check and verify the values in the ch 5 mix with Mission planner.

Go here and find a nice APM 2.5 six flight mode setup, with mode indicator on LCD and voice calling out the new mode.

CS1: a>x PPM5 -60
CS2: a<x PPM5 -20 AND CS1
CS3: |a|<x PPM5 20
CS4: a<x PPM5 60
CS5 a>x PPM5 20 AND CS4

Use !CS1 for one mode.
Use CS2 for the second.
Use CS3 for the third.
Use CS5 for the fourth.
Use !CS4 for the fifth.

Hope this helps...

Might be of use for some that have done the Rotary Switch Mode for Flight Modes.
