f>0, f<0: If input is positive resp. negative, 
return 100%, otherwise 0. 

 

 

|f|: If input is negative, return -100%. If input is 
positive, 100%.

GLOBAL

 

VARIABLES 

Global variables are values that can be 

substituted to the usual number on every Weight, 
Offset, Differential or Expo setting. Their main use 
is to group the adjustment of several parameters 
that should have the same value. For example, 
aileron differential on a glider with 4 surfaces 
responding to the aileron function. When trying to 
find the sweet spot for the differential value, 
instead of having to repeatedly edit the differential 
value in 4 mixers, all 4 can be set to use a global 
variable (e.g. GV1 resp. -GV1, selected by a long 
press of the ENTER key on the differential field). 
Then adjusting GV1 on this page is all it takes for all 
differentials to be updated. Global variables are also 
flight mode specific, so instead of having to create 
separate mixer lines with different values 
depending on the flight mode one can simply use a 
global variable with different values for each flight 
mode. This can significantly help simplifying the 
mixer screen by avoiding many duplicate entries. 
Global variables can also be adjusted in flight 
thanks to the Adjust GVx Custom Function that will 
be described later, and help adjusting those 
parameters that are easier to tweak in flight like 
D/R ratios, expos or again differential. The Global 
variables screen allows setting a name for each of 
the 5 available variables for conveniency, and 
seeing/setting the value each of them will have in 
each of the 9 flight modes.

CUSTOM

 

SWITCHES 

These are logic switches that are used to 

compare values and combine various conditions. 

The first "operation" column lists a few 

arithmetical, logical and differential operations. In 
arithmetical ones a and b represent variables, x 
represents a constant. Variables can be every 
source, i.e. all those available in mixers, plus the 5 
global variables and all telemetry values. In logical 
operations the available sources are all physical 
and other custom switches. Differential functions 
compare the variation of a variable since last match 
to another value. 

 

 

a~x: active when variable a is approximately 
equal to constant x (hysteresis added, as 
comapring a stick's value for example would 
pretty much never trigger an exact match) 
 

 

a<x, a>x: Active when variable a is smaller resp. 
greater than constant x 

 

 

|a|<x, |a|>x: Active when the absolute value of 
variable a is smaller resp. greater than 
constant x 

 

 

a<b,a>b,a=b: See above, but with 2 variables 

 

 

AND, OR, XOR: Logical and, or, exclusive or 
between 2 binary inputs 

 

 

d>x, |d|>x: Active when the selected variable, 
repectively its absolute value has changed by 
more than x since last time. For example, d>x
