Well, technology is developing fast, but one issue always remains: how to config the TX to allow 6 modes...
Here is a 6 modes switch for ANY Transmitter !
Enter for details
The idea is to have 4 trimmers to allow precise setting of the wanted PWM value for every mode, while the first and last modes are directly set automatically.
We have made a package with the smallest mode switch, so it could fit in most transmitters in the market, and four precision trimmers to go along with.
We offer the product in two versions:
DIY version (all parts needed)
They have been tested together to work well, and installed in a Turnigy 9x radio, and gave great results and easy setup with the APM software !

Comment by Dan "HotSeat" Neault on June 26, 2012 at 12:03pm Tried this on a spectrum DX6i, some time ago, no luck, software on the transmitter needs to be changed :(
I just changed the ardu code to different combination of binary switches
Comment by ARHEXA on June 26, 2012 at 12:07pm Of course, the switch must replace an existing continuous potentiometer on your TX.
you can't replace a 2 or 3 position switch with this one and expect it to work, though it might, depends on the TX.
Comment by Simone Chiaretta on June 26, 2012 at 1:23pm If I buy the DIY one, will it come with a wiring diagram?
Comment by Taylor Davis on June 26, 2012 at 1:46pm Just bought one. Thanks and I'll let everyone know how it goes.
Comment by ARHEXA on June 26, 2012 at 1:51pm Simone, The schematic is even shown above in this post ! you will get a printed version of it and the components needed.
Taylor, Congrats ! please come back and tell us how it works for you
Comment by arashi on June 26, 2012 at 2:06pm Ordered, Thanks!
I have one of your switches already and it works great.
And by ANY you mean SOME! lol, j/k. This is a great idea. You probably should revise the title and content to indicate it only works on radios with a pot knob or 3 position switch. If you only have 2 position switches, there's a very slim chance it will work for you.
Comment by Scott James on June 26, 2012 at 6:31pm Had it been tried on a Futaba 9C?
Comment by Nick Squillace on June 26, 2012 at 7:46pm Will be ordering one soon, looks great!
