Re: QX7 no switches after update to 2.2.4

How are you determining that SF and SH do not work? I've loaded Doc2.otx into Companion 2.2.4 and tested it. The channel monitor shows SF and SH working correctly. This means the transmitter should be capable of sending sending the data If the flight controller isn't responding, I'ld say it is fligh...

Re: QX7 no switches after update to 2.2.4

in the first model you use 'arm' and 'Arm' in Inputs. and in mixes you use I5:arm. To most software (not google) Arm and arm are two different things. The Ix: tells MIXES to use the INPUTS definition(s) from slot x. If in hardware settings it is arm, try changing the Arm in MIXES to arm and swF shou...

Re: QX7 no switches after update to 2.2.4

You do not have to put the switches in INPUTS. It doesn't hurt, but it does no good either. To use the INPUTS for switches in a mix you we need to use I7 in the mix as source, not SC for channel7. Here is how an Input and Mix would look if you used Inputs to define your SWF in INPUTS and used in in ...

MixerScreen.PNG What Kilrah said is apparently your problem. There must be a mixer for a channel to have an output. Ch5 example is probably the least efficient way of doing things. All it does is reverse the +100 and -100 outputs. This could be done with a curve much easier and would allow easy adj...

Re: First timer issues on QX7

on channel use 'cut' 1 on the Thr line, then you can 'paste' it to chn3.
The same kind of operation you would use on WORD or SpreadSheet.
No quick way to do it that I know of.

Re: First timer issues on QX7

I think the Mixes order is wrong.
The mix order should AETR for the iRange 4in1. Internal it remaps the channels to Spektrum/JR order unless it is a very old 4in1 module

Re: Question on switches

A two position switch is emulated by using SA(up) and not SA(up), i.e. !SA(up). The weight is automatically determined and need not be specified. Weight normally is set for INPUTS or MIXES. So if you wanted to use the switch to control a channel output you would normally do something like this: Ch7 ...

Re: Matching dual elevator

I think it would be easiest for someone to help if you posted your .otx.
If you do be sure to note which model you are working on.

I'm guessing it is a setup error, provided you have the same model servos and the location of pushrods are in the same control horn locations

Re: Mixes insert before or after

In MIXES they are normally additive, although they can be changed to multiply or replace. Replace does exactly that, it replaces all mixes before the mix that is replace. This is not true in INPUTS. In INPUTS the first one that is true is the only one used. See http://rcdiy.ca/opentx-transmitter-fir...

The receiver would operate fine on a 2s Lipo, 4, 5, 6 cell Nicad or Nimh or AA....but your servos may not operate or last long. Servos generally expect about 6v.
Yes, you can plug the battery source into any channel or the SBUS port.
