6-Position Switch for 6 Flight Modes

Post by hdierolf »

I have replaced the Pot at position S2 with a 6-position rotary switch and the requisite resistors to obtain the six different PWM values required.

I have programmed the Taranis to transmit the correct PWM value to the APM 2.5 flight controller and that works well. What I have not been able to figure out is how to program the Taranis to display on the front panel the name of each Flight Mode to which the switch S2 is rotated to.

I will appreciate any help. Thank you.

Setup 6 custom switches.

Then setup the flight modes to use the custom switches!

Rob, thank you for your quick reply.

I have already gone past custom switches and flight modes on my own. I was hoping for some more details.

The custom switch you assign will need to trigger on a pot value being 'approximately' at a certain position.

You have swapped a pot, with a switch, so this is then only way to do it.

Hello hdlerolf, I am not sure if you got it sorted out…. here is a link in the forum that explains the 5 modes in details.. adding another is not difficult.
