Great,
If you try my firmware it will be easier, it work like a rotary switch and it display the mode's name on the screen (4 char).
I use training switch (TRN) because it is a one position momentary switch so you can only roll up,
but if you want both up and down roll you must change the 3 positions switch (flaperon) by a 3 positions momentary switch.

And for those who want two rotary switches (eg: one for flaperons and the second for APM modes), I can easily add to the firmware (to select the rotary switch can be made by another switch).
