NOTE
A further interesting application for the sequencer would be any kind of brake flaps, spoilers or landing flaps. You know what
happens: the spoiler retracts, and the servo buzzes a little because there is a slight residual mechanical resistance. Use the
sequencer to move the spoilers slowly in the usual way, but set them to run past the retracted point by about 5%, then im-
mediately back again; you will discover that the servos no longer buzz. Since the sequencer has the special feature of being
able to reverse its direction at any time, the spoilers behave exactly as if they were operated by a normal transmitter control,
programmed with a timed delay!
3.13 Mixer
The free servo mixers represent an additional method of
mixing functions with each other. Servo mixing by servo as-
signment has already been described in the Function menu,
but this option also enables you to mix functions with each
other with a response curve.
You can create a new mixer by selecting the Mixer menu and
pr. You can also immediately rename the Mixer to
your own choice by touching the
Mixer
button.
Press the Setup button on the right in order to program the
mixer. The following display appears:
• Flight Mode
As is the case with the transmitter controls and trims, the mixers also include the option of programming mixed functions from
one transmitter control to another separately for each flight mode. If you select the
Global
setting, the mixer will be identical in all
flight modes, and also if you are not using flight modes. Select
Single
if you wish the mixer to be effective only in particular flight
modes.
• From/To
The first step is to select the source function under
From
, and the target function under
To
.
• Transmitter control
At this point you should select a switch, stick or proportional control. You can then use it to activate the mixer, switch the input to
the three
available levels
(
1-2-3
), or set it to
linear response
. The default entry here is
On
, which means that a fixed mixer
input is set.
• Gain
The Gain button is used to set the magnitude of the mixer. Selecting On at Transmitter control sets a fixed value. If you assign a
switch or proportional control at transmitter control, you can set different values on three levels; the level selected by the trans-
mitter control is shown in green. If you select a proportional control as transmitter control, the values are applied in a linear fashion
between the three levels.
