More aux-channels

[foomatic]

With the increasing number of features the two aux-Channels may not be enough to switch things on and off.

I suggest we use channels 5 to 8 as aux1..4 and treat camstab and camtrig as features that can be mapped to any aux-channel. This way we don't waste two channels for people that don't control a camera.

Cheers.

Sounds like a useful upgrade / +1.

4 motors and 4 servos = Quad vario pitch

Imagine all 3dflights...

Would one motor on a Y-Cable and 4 servos work?

I think it would as you run motors at almost constant speed...

My TX only has 6 channel so I have just 2 AUX each with 2 positions and this gives me maximum possible 4 combination.
But I need more, so I mix the GEAR(AUX1) with FLAP(AUX2) so that the Flap will have a virtual "middle" position or should I say the value needed to activate as configured via the GUI. This gives me 8 combinations but I can only use 6 because the duplicated settings. You have to check the box wisely to get what you want.
Also someone say that it is easier to take off with OFF(ACRO) mode and once in the air you can flip to ACC(LEVEL) mode.
I make it automatic by mixing the THROTTLE with one of the AUX, so when the throttle is NOT in the lowest position, you will get the ACC.
In effect, once armed it is OFF and when you increase the throttle to about the middle or off the ground, it becomes ACC.
