    Does using ch6 this way interfere with the camera pitch control? I have ch6 connected to Input 6 on the APM. On my radio ch6 is a little side trim wheel so is good for camera pitch control. JRX9503.

     

    Can I use another ch like 9 that has a switch to control the relay or would that involve a lot of code modification?

    Hmmm... It used to be in APM_Config.

     

    EDIT: edited for clarity!      The case structure for CH6 is still ArduCopter.pde

    case CH6_RELAY:
                g.rc_6.set_range(0,1000);
                  if (g.rc_6.control_in > 525) relay.on();
                  if (g.rc_6.control_in < 475) relay.off();
                break;

     

    , so you should still be able to add to your APM_Config.h ...

     

    Try adding this to your APM_Config.h:

    #define CHANNEL_6_TUNING CH6_RELAY

     

    The rest of the options are:

     

        /*
        CH6_NONE
        CH6_STABILIZE_KP
        CH6_STABILIZE_KI
        CH6_RATE_KP
        CH6_RATE_KI
        CH6_THROTTLE_KP
        CH6_THROTTLE_KD
        CH6_YAW_KP
        CH6_YAW_KI
        CH6_YAW_RATE_KP
        CH6_YAW_RATE_KI
        CH6_TOP_BOTTOM_RATIO
        CH6_PMAX
        CH6_RELAY
        CH6_TRAVERSE_SPEED
        */
