Re: MultiWii Conf for more than 4 AUX channels

I think I am in the same predicament here. Radio:Turnigy 9XR/opentx/orange module Rx: Orange 6 channel and soon Lemon 8 Flight Control Board: whitespy pro3 w/EZ plugs I have but 1 3 way switch. I have learned how to assign a 2 way switch to create 6 positions with a single 3 way switch. The problem ...

Through opentx I can use a second 2 pos switch to obtain 6 distinct throw values. However it broadcasts over channel 5 so mulitwii sees all 6 positions under the channel 5 slot. If I could separate 3 to channel 6 that would be nice.

6 position switch

I'm running a whitespy multiwii pro3 controlled by a turnigy 9xr(opentx installed) . I want to use my 3 position switch as a 6 position. Is there a way to force multiwii to see 6 positions from one switch.

I know this is a dead thread, but aim building a tricopter with the whitespy EZ pro3 board. I want to add LED's to the arms for orientation. I would rather them not be stuck on all the time but rather to switch on and off with the arm/disarm. Is there a way to do that without using up an aux channel?

Magnetic interference

Will the metal screws on my tricopter impede the magnometer? I see so many quads and tri's with the FCB right over or directly next to screws but then to calibrate the magnometer I've read suggestions that you put the copter out away from any metal ... including keysn change, and pocket knives and t...

Did you. Run all 4 power wires to the FC? You should only need a single power input from the esc. I believe you can fry the board by running all 3.

You deleted the line? I always thought you put 2 / in front of a line to deactivate it?

So if the setup in multiwii gives you a prop direction layout, you can ignore it? My board suggests all CCW or its either the front right or the tail be CW. I'm still gathering materials so I haven't built mine yet. Oming from the quad mindset so motor direction has been niggling the back of mind.

I stand corrected. There is a Flip with baro/mag. But no GPS hookup so a deal breaker.

Since my post I have read a lot. I can't seem to determine if the Flip has on board baro and magnometer. But then I've looked at so many boards in the last 24 hrs I'll have to go back one more time. Is multiwii setup to use 2 switches to control 3 flight modes? No one anywhere seems to have posted a...
