Programming Radio Switches
Does anyone know how to move a stick function to a switch - example, on a 1/14 scale rig, to move the 3 speed to a 3 position toggle? Would this not allow the mfu to work properly?
or to move the light, horn or other function to a toggle? I understand how to 'mix' (DR/Expo) stuff to a toggle, example: normal stick is 60% and with toggle, it's 100% I have a Spektrum DX6i and a Futaba T8J that I'd like to move functions from the sticks to toggles. Current setup (https://rctruckandconstruction.com/s...722#post163722) ------------ Previous Post Below -------------------------------------- I have figured out a resolution to the Start / Stop with Spektrum DX6i: Steps D/R Settings: ELEV - with Elev D/R in position 0 (set it as follows): ELEV 0 | 60% | INH Change Elev D/R to position 1 ELEV 1 | 100% | +40% RUDD modification: which allows for the Start / Stop functionality: RUDD 0 | 60% | INH Change Rudd D/R to position 1 RUDD 1 | 100% | +40% -------------------------------------- Step By Step Instructions --------------------------------------------------- a: Scroll down to D/R&EXPO and click. b: Scroll through to the first column next to ELEV is selected, and click. c: Ensure the ELEV D/R switch is set to 0, there should be a 0 next to ELEV on the screen. d: Change value to 60% using the scroll wheel and click. e: Move the ELEV D/R switch on the Transmitter from 0 to 1, there should now be a 1 next to ELEV on the screen. f: Back on the screen, ensure that the first column for ELEV is set to 100% g. Move the scroll wheel to the second column of ELEV and click. h. Change the value to +40% and click. i. Move the ELEV D/R switch back to 0 from 1, there should now be a 0 next to ELEV on the screen. j. Scroll through to the first column next to RUDD is selected, and click. k. Ensure the RUDD D/R switch is set to 0, there should be a 0 next to RUDD on the screen. l. Change value to 60% using the scroll wheel and click. m. Move the RUDD D/R switch on the Transmitter from 0 to 1, there should now be a 1 next to RUDD on the screen. n. Back on the screen, ensure that the first column for RUDD is set to 100% o. Move the scroll wheel to the second column of RUDD and click. p. Change the value to +40% and click. q. Move the RUDD D/R switch back to 0 from 1, there should now be a 0 next to RUDD on the screen. r. Scroll until List in the top right hand corner is selected, and click. Save settings and exir programming mode ------------------------------- End Of Step By Step Instructions --------------------------------------------------- Make sure all toggles are set to position 0 and go through the MFU setup again. 1: Press and hold the MFU 'Set' button for 1 second, MFU should stop engine the control box will blink. 2: From the Transmitter, move the left stick completely up & down then to center and wait. The LED on the control unit will blink 3 times. 3: Move the left stick completely right & left and to center. Again, the LED on the control unit will blink 3 times. 4: Move the right stick completely up & down and then to center. Wait for the LED to blink 3 times. 5. Move the right stick completely left & right and then to center. This time, the LED will blink 3 times quickly, and then will blink slowly. 6. Press the Set button on the control unit, the LED will then blink and turn on. Using the Transmitter, I now have: Elev D/R in position 1 a: Throttle is left stick - up & down. b: Steering is right stick - left & right. c: Changing gears is left stick - left & right. d: Long horn is right stick up. e: Short horn is right stick down. Elev D/R in position 1 g: To turn on / off the hazard lights, move right stick up h: To get through the light functions, move the right stick down. Elev D/R & Rudd D/R in position 1: i: To stop / start the engine, put the left stick in the left position and the right stick to the up position. Gear Toggle: i: To operate the Fifth Wheel / Landing Gear, use the Gear toggle switch. I have confirmed the start / stop resolution works for the Futaba T8J radios as well. I don't know what the effect of the change is to other operations (if any) but I know that start / stop now works - as well as all other operations. ------------ Previous Post Above -------------------------------------- Is there a way to assign these 'functions' (lights, start / stop) to a toggle switch? |
