Ok well I've been buggering around and still haven't got it right but I'm glad we are both on the same page now :D

Can you confirm what channel you are connecting from the receiver to the APM board?

With ch5 giving the different pulsewidths is it just that channel connected or both?

ch5 is the only channel I connect to the APM.

I'm going to check the radio programming one more time, just to be sure I wrote it down correctly.

Ah I shall disconnect my ch6 then. Here is hoping :)

I know it's annoying to open up the radio, but maybe if you do so and send me pictures of your switch and the cabling I can see something you are not seeing.

Guys

I just my switch from MAPLINS and have opened my TX but it looks nothing like the picture in page 1. I will add photos in the next post so that you can guide me as I have 3 wires from both chanels 5 and 6 and I dont want to make any mistakes.

 

ill be right back with the pics.

no problem. my radio had 2 wires for each channel, but i'm sure there is a way to figure it out. your radio was a 7C, right?

I use a Futabe 6EX actually. I hope the photo are clear enough for you to see.The pot or switch I got from maplin is also in shot.

I dropped my Tx a while ago and broke the switch head for Channel 6 so now I use a servo screw for that. ops.

This radio is different than mine... I'm sure you can still make it work, and even get more modes out of it, but you can't follow my blog.

By checking continuity on the switches with a tester you should be able to find which of the 3 cables is the ground, once you know that all you can do is solder the ground cables from channel 5 and 6 to the pot and then randomly try connecting the rest of the cables. Also you mix in the radio is going to be different.

Good luck!
