 === 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 have 2, 3, or 6 positions. 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>Aux Channel Positions:</b> If an Aux channel is specified as <b>Analog</b>, the Position setting will be hidden because an analog channel has an essentially unlimited number of positions. In the example above, Aux channels 1 &amp; 2 are Analog so have no Position setting available. But if your Aux channel is a switch, or in other words, a <b>Digital</b> channel, you need to tell the TCB whether it is a 2-position switch or a 3-position switch. Support for switches with greater number of positions is not presently implemented. It is also important to remember that a 3-position switch will have 3 positions, and a 2-position switch will have 2 positions. But of course! That sounds very logical. However it can cause some confusion when we look at the current switch position in item #9 below. +<li><b>Aux Channel Positions:</b> If an Aux channel is specified as <b>Analog</b>, the Position setting will be hidden because an analog channel has an essentially unlimited number of positions.
