X20/X20S and Ethos v1.2.10 User Manual
Trims enables the relevant trim to be independent for each flight mode, instead of being
common across flight modes.
RF System
This section is used to configure the Owner Registration ID, and the internal and/or external
RF modules. This is also where receiver binding takes place, and receiver options are
configured.
The Owner Registration ID is an 8 character ID that contains a unique random code, which
can be changed if desired. This ID becomes the Owner Registration ID when registering a
receiver. Enter the same code in the Owner ID field of your other transmitters you want to
use the Smart Share feature with them. This must be done before creating the model you
want to use it on.
Telemetry
Telemetry is used for passing information from the model back to the RC pilot. This
information can be quite extensive, and includes RSSI (receiver signal strength) and Link
Quality, various voltages and currents, and any other sensor outputs such as GPS position,
altitude, etc.
Note that the telemetry screens are set up as main views in the
section.
Checklist
The Checklist section is used to define startup alerts for things like initial throttle position,
whether failsafe is configured, pot and slider positions, and initial switch positions.
Logic Switches
Logic switches are user programmed virtual switches. They aren’t physical switches that you
flip from one position to another, however they can be used as program triggers in the
same way as any physical switch. They are turned on and off by evaluating the conditions of
the programming. They may use a variety of inputs such as physical switches, other logical
switches, and other sources such as telemetry values, channel values, timer values, or
Global Variables. They can even use values returned by a LUA model script.
Special Functions
This is where switches can be used to trigger special functions such as trainer mode,
soundtrack playback, speech output of variables, data logging etc.
are
used to configure model specific functions.
Curves
Custom curves can be used in input formatting, in the mixers or in the outputs. There are
100 curves available, and can be of several types (between 2 and 21 point, with either fixed
or user-definable x-coordinates).
In the Mixer a typical application is using an Expo curve to soften the response around mid-
stick. A curve may also be used to smooth a flap to elevator compensation mix so that the
aircraft does not 'balloon up' when flaps are applied.
In the Outputs a balancing curve may be used to ensure accurate tracking of the left and
right flaps.
