Summary and Additional Resources  

There you have it. We’ve only scratched the surface of what OpenTX can do, but the examples 
given here will suffice to get all but the most exotic combat robots up and running. Now that 
you’ve got a taste of how the firmware works you have a good base for implementing less 
common functions and features, like:

 

  Triple rates 

  Voice prompts 

  Logical switches 

  Exponential curves 

  What those knobs can do 

And even a four-channel omnidirectional Mecanum drive mix! 

Here are some resources to get you started:

  OpenTX Online Manual - http://rcdiy.ca
