Hey guys,
After many difficulties, I've been able to connect my Transmitter to my APM.
I would like to setup my flight modes, but the mission planner indicates that my APM is listening on Channel 8 (Current PWM).
For the flight modes my receiver is linked to my apm using the channel 5 or 6 (Aux 1 white wire or Aux 2 orange wire) (see picture below).
So is it possible to change the current pwm parameter to channel 5 or 6?
Or do I need to add an extra wire to connect my receiver to the input 8 ?
Thanks for your help
Arnaud

Hello, This is my first time responding to anything here so please excuse any obvious
Mistakes or syntax errors...lol
I am having a similar problem. I finally got the flight mode to work on Ch5! HOWEVER, now
my channels are showing (according to the Qground station channel monitors) as follows:
CH1 SWC
CH2 ROLL
CH3 PITCH
CH4THROTTLE
CH5 FLIGHT MODE MIX OF SWF AND SWE
CH6 YAW
CH7 no response
CH8 SWB
THIS IS ALL REGARDLESS TO HOW I HAVE THE TRANSMITTER SETUP. IT's A radiolink

Someone help please! Thank you SO MUCH...

I had a problem with changing of PWM value to set different flight modes. As I toggled my three position switch which is already set to channel 5 nothing was happend. The problem was solved by connecting of receiver (I have FS-iA6) output channel 5 to board (I have APM 2,8) input channel 5. That's it! You can set and change your flight modes or everything You want!
Hi Amulya! I have the same problem with my APM 2,8 board and Flisky-i6 transmitter. Have you solved the problem?

I am using mission planner 1.3.44. There is no MNT: MODE_CH that I can find. Which version are you using @Darren Smith. My current PWM and MODE in the "Flight mode" is always same even if I change the throttle or anything else via the controller.
Solved.
Looking under the config/tuning, I found MNT:MODE_CH and changed it to 5. Now everyone in my family is happy.

Hi,
I'm using Rover v3.1.0 and want to change the flight mode switch to channel 5 from my transmitter.
On Mission Planner, I'm looking at; Config/Tuning>Standard Parameters, but there's no FLTMODE_CH parameter.
How do I change this? (feel free to be specific). Thanks in advance
Set FLTMODE_CH to 5 in the full parameter list.
Hi,
You can take any channel on the receiver that you like, and wire that to channel 8 on the APM. It will not control flight mode.
I would suggest that if possible, you also use channel 8 on the radio. Less confusing that way.
What do you mean with "current pwm parameter"?
