Retractable Undercarriage

[CliffEvans]

I am trying to get a retract to work on a scale glider, using the Taranis, and 8XR rx. The retract is on channel 1, for some reason or not, I cannot get any switch to work it i am including the setup eep if this is any help.

Just select the switch you want as "Source" in the mix line on CH1. Not as "Switch".

[CliffEvans]

Thanks for your quick reply, but sorry I do not understand!

[Kilrah]

You've set
CH1: 100% CH1 Switch (SFv).

You should set:
CH1: 100% SF

Now you are just telling that CH1 should be itself when SF is down, center otherwise. So it does nothing at all.

[CliffEvans]

I cannot seem to be able to change it!

[Kilrah]

Huh? Are you doing it on the radio itself or on companion? What "doesn't work"?

[CliffEvans]

Tried both! Iiether get the switch with a down arrow or an up arrow!

[CliffEvans]

Sorry to be a pain!

[Kilrah]

As I said you must NOT choose it in the "Switch" field, but the "Source" field. Leave "Switch" empty (---). This is used to disable an entry, not as a control.

Ok, I think I have it right now but, still no response from the retract, have just tried a servo tester with it and it works fine!

[Kilrah]

For some reason you selected the mix to be of "Multiply" type. That makes it do nothing if it is in first position on a channel.

[CliffEvans]

What should it be?

[CliffEvans]

Have just changed to (add), still no activity from retract!

[CliffEvans]

Have just changed retract from channel 1 to channel 8 and battery from channel 8 to channel 1 and retract now works on the chosen switch!!
