Functions & Triggers - direct AUX channel passthrough
« on: January 29, 2018, 03:06:41 PM »
Luke,

I'm trying to do the following: Passing Through a Aux channel - 2 pos switch to the RC output 3.
Now it seems i'm only allowed to use the standard Tank controls (elevation, rotation, engine speed etc.) as a trigger source and not any of the other (AUX)channels.

This would add some very interesting possibilties.. Like opeing cooling flaps or hatches in some situations..

Is this a possibility?

Cheers, John

Yes, you can do this, just set your aux channel to Analog instead of digital. Then it will appear in the list as a trigger that you can assign to any of the RC pass-through functions.

The "Analog (pot)" description was put there to give the general idea, but you can still use it for a two position switch on your transmitter (or any other kind of control on your transmitter). What it really means is that the full range of the RC signal is going to be passed-through.

When you set an aux channel to a digital switch, what it really means is that the TCB converts it to a logical switch that does something internal to the TCB, so there is no way to pass that through.

Anyway - the terminology can be a bit confusing but bottom line it's no problem to do what you suggest.

That's fine, I just moved it to the general help forum in case anyone else has the same question, which they probably will!
