 Triggers cause a function to be executed. Triggers are how you make things happen. Triggers can be any Aux channel on your transmitter. The Turret Stick is another trigger with 9 positions (the four corners, the four ends, and centered). If one of the I/O ports has been set to "Input" it too will show up as a trigger. Other triggers are actually events rather than inputs.  Triggers cause a function to be executed. Triggers are how you make things happen. Triggers can be any Aux channel on your transmitter.

-There are two basic types of triggersAnalog and Digital. A simple way to understand the difference is that a digital trigger is like the on/off switch on your stereo, and an analog trigger is like the volume control. Digital triggers have a finite number of positions, but the number of positions can be more than just on and off. Digital triggers can be switches on your transmitter that might have 2 or 3 positions. The Turret Stick as already mentioned is considered a digital trigger with 9 positions. On the other hand, Analog triggers are variable inputs. The best example is a knob, dial, or lever on your transmitter. You can also set one of the A or B I/O ports to analog input and attach a potentiometer to create another analog trigger.+There are two basic types of triggers which we call "Analogand "Digital." These names are not used in a strict technical sense but rather to represent the basic difference between the two types.

-Digital triggers can be assigned to functions that do something - analog functions can be assigned to functions that modify something or some value.+Digital triggers can be assigned to functions that cause a discrete action, analog functions can be assigned to functions that //modify// something or //adjust// some value.
