 === Aux Channels === === Aux Channels ===
-An Aux channel is any channel other than the 4 channels associated with the two sticks. At most you can have up to 12 Aux channels with an SBus receiver, 10 Aux channels with an iBus receiver, or 4 Aux channels with a PPM receiver: assuming your transmitter is also capable of transmitting and controlling those extra channels. Aux channels can represent switches, knobs, or levers on your transmitter. If switches, they may be 2-position or 3-position. We will need to inform the TCB about the nature of each of these channels so it will know what to expect. The type of Aux channel will also dictate what kinds of functions it can be mapped to (see the [[wiki:opconfig:tabs:ft|Functions]] tab).+An Aux channel is any channel other than the 4 channels associated with the two sticks.

-<li><b>Deadband:</b> The 4 stick channels have an optional deadband setting. The radio signal is rarely ever completely steady even when you aren't touching the sticks. If the TCB responded to every small change in the signal, you may find your model creeping about when you thought it should be stopped. The Deadband setting is a way to overcome the issue of an unsteady signal. Any stick movement <i>less than</i> the deadband amount will be ignored. This number should be small, but greater than 0. Don't set it any larger than you need to - the greater the deadband, the more you will have to move your stick on purpose to get anything to happen. Watching the <b>Pulse</b> column while the radio is streaming will give you a good idea of the variability of your signal. PPM receivers will exhibit much more jitter than SBus.+<li><b>Deadband:</b> The 4 stick channels have an optional deadband setting.
