Trainer switch - push to break, or push to make

Post by **Rob Thomson** » Thu Jul 25, 2013 8:31 am

I am being lazy...

Is the trainer toggle in the Taranis a push to break or push to make?

If it is a push to make, then it should be easy to put an additional push button switch on the radio on the left - which would help when flying dlg type models.

For me it would help everything as it seems the right place for that switch to be..

Open it up Rob and find out. Let us lazy folks here know what you found.

Lol.... No chance for now.

I am off to Lundy island for week of slope soaring. Tx is packed already.

That is a remote island that has little to offer in the way of late night entertainment. No televisions or electricity after Midnight. I take it that you are taking a generator and a television with you?

Lol...

There are a large group of us going - from the barcs forum.

There is a pub, a shop - and lots of cliff faces

Should be a blast.

You must have a big boat, to take all that..

Here are some photos from a 2009 trip that the guys went on.

We expect a full report of your expedition + details of how the Taranis coped with the rough coastal conditions..

Nice pictures Rob. No doubt you all cheated by using the Gulls as lift markers.

Given enough good beer I could probably last at least a week on that rock. Didn't look like you wanted for food, however.

Not very good for retrieving models, is it?

The perfect example of why God invented the electric powered sailplane.

Circuit is open by default. Hold toggle to complete circuit. So that's a push to make I guess.

Easy. So you could just put a push button on the right and get a duplicate trainer switch

I would still consider replacing switch E or F with a 3 pos on/off/mom switch. I intend to find such and do so to my Taranis some time in the near future. This would allow the momentary switch on the left side with no additinal holes in the case. Nice thing of OpenTx is that any switch can be programmed for any function desired except the built in trainer function. Minor flaw there...

You can assign the trainer to any switch. Not sure what you mean?

Perhaps I mis-remember that detail.

The "H" switch can only be a momentary switch - and not a full toggle switch. I learned this when I had suggested (even made a video) swapping the F and H switches.

Can someone describe exactly why it should be momentary. On my SkyNorth er9x tx I replaced the trainer switch for an on/off and it messed up instant trim, but trainer didn't seem to suffer.

Kilrah gave an excellent explanation in RCG -- but I can't put my finger on it now.

May it was too momentary?
