APM 2.5 c'ant Configure switches

Posted by dazmanian on April 8, 2014 at 8:03pm

Hi

I did radio calibration with no problem.

The APM saw all my radio control and 2 switches on radio 5 and 6.

But when I got to configure flight mode, nothing happens when I flick the switches.

any suggestions?

    If you're flying a plane (not a copter), the mode switch channel must be plugged into APM RC input 8.  Please follow the manual.

      Thanks Chris

      Yes,I'm flying a plane.

      I plugged ch5 from receiver to ch8 on APM inputs and it worked.

      I got only 2 way toggle.

      but looks like it only use one of my switches,the other one is not

      activating any change in flight mode.

      I have a futaba T6EX, its 6ch and I was hoping to use ch6

      for RTH.

      Can the arduplane only use one switch for flight mode?

      I'm trying to set up AMP's fail safe to do RTL but no success yet on both.
