Pixhawk PX 4 2.4.8 / spectrum DX 8 channel mapping problem

Posted by Roger DeVries on July 14, 2017 at 7:14pm

I am new to the Pixhawk flight controller and the use of mission planner. I have built several multirotor's using clean flight or beta flight. With either one of them there is a simple checkbox to change your channel map.

I am using a lemon 8 Channel PPM receiver. The way my channel map comes out

throttle = roll

Yaw = Yaw

pitch = throttle

roll = pitch

I can't be the only guy runing a DX 8. There has to be a way to change the channel mapping however I can't figure it out?

Any and all help would be appreciated, at this point I'm at a lost.

Thank you

ROG

    Thank you Brandon and Haygood.

    　

    I was able to get into mission planner and make the changes necessary. It turns out you are both right and using the diagram Brandon sent it was a piece of cake. It did not take 5 minutes to complete and I am now moving forward. Thank you both for such a speedy response!

    I am now moving forward and will be able to mount the flight controller on my craft.

    Thank you again

    I was pretty sure everything after a DX7i allowed you to program the outputs from the transmitter's own menus, right?

    If you want to do it in the Pixhawk itself, then look at the RC Map options:

    I went through the DX 8 manual today and could not find anything on changing the channel map. Now that does not mean that they don't call it something different and I didn't figure it out?

    In my research I did run across the same link that you put up. The answer that is given in the manual I did not quite understand. I guess tomorrow I'll get my 2 computers side-by-side and go from the auto copter manual and see if I can't sort it out. Thank you for your reply I sure appreciate it.
