Awesome Video. I learned a different way to get a 3 position switch on the trims compared what I did. Looks like more then one way to do the same thing. Great Job! 🙂
This is a masterclass in MT12 programming! I will definitely use some of these features for some of my more demanding crawlers. I did use T1 for my winch because the throttle mix I used (enabled through LC2) wouldn’t let me use T5 like I wanted. Hopefully there is a way to decouple/re-assign throttle trim in the future.
Thanks! Lets see what version 2.10 of the EdgeTX firmware brings to us. This should be the first version that fully "supports" the MT12. By the way: if you like hacking around in the MT12 logical switches, I've got a new video coming up with some more funky s..t programming a 4-pos-switch.
Thank you very much, John! The MT12 has so much potential to play around with it. The possibilities are just amazing (at least when you're into funky shit like that.😀 )
Great video. it's the first one I've watch that explains how to use the toggles used with the expansion module ( now titles FL1 and FL2) I've been trying to create something where i could flip a switch and limit the throttle to say 50%. I don't know how to do it yet but I'm hoping this will help
Thanks! Just create a 2nd mix for the throttle channel (usually CH2) on the mixer page. Set the 2nd mix to a weight of 50. Now delcare a logical switch (say L01), choose Sticky and for V1 and V2 set the switch SDdown (Arraw down). Go back to the mixer page and for the first throttle mix set the Switch to "!L01" (the ! is important), and for the 2nd mix set the Switch to "L01" (without the !). Now you are set to go! With "SD" you toggle between 100% an 50% max throttle.
Great video. Anyone else have the mt12 not remember what they’ve made after a power cycle? I’m trying to do a basic channel override using a logical switch. Made a logical switch for the large button at the bottom of the remote. Made a special function to override channel 1. Tested and works fine. Then power off and on the mt12 and it no longer works. Any ideas what I’m missing?
@@arminrc I got it working last night through special functions and mixing I think it was I control the weight of the steering with P1 and the weight of the throttle, brake with P2.
Sorry, didn't see you answer in time! Great to hear, but I can not see how you used a special function for this. In the special functions it is not possible to use the pots (at least as far as I can see and without using LUA). My way was by simply multiplying two mixes for the same channel. Thats it. Works lika a charm.
can you set up a potentiometer switch as a 3 pos. what i mean is say i turn it 50 percent i just want 50% travel and if a turn it 100% i get 100%travel
Yes, you could do that! The question is, why do you wanna use a pot as a 3-pos-switch to control the deflection of a channel. If you want three different "deflection modes" why not use a trim switch in combination with logical switches? And if you want a "variable" deflection on the channel then you could use the pots value as the weight of the channel.
do you have any experience with traxxa modelss. i have a high trail blazer with tqi rx and a traxxas or light kit. i plan to change rx to elrs rx and use my mt12. is it possible to get the lights working as before because i lose the cablw that plugs into the tqi. it also comes with a cable thathas normal servo connectors on it that i can plug into elrs rx, any help would be great thank you.
Thanks for watching! Regarding your question about the Traxxas light module I am afraid that I can't help you. The problem is that I do not know the data which is sent to light module to set the different modes. Maybe someone here in the community does know it. Then it could be possible to replicate it with the MT12.
Hello Armin, I have had my MT12 for 2+ months and I am being held back by not finding, or understanding exactly how to alter specific switch behavior. This is also an issue with my Zorro. What I am trying to do is simple, but again I must be overlooking the relevant info. So I am trying to use SB for a transmission shift function, and I only get momentary servo action. Because of this I am using SA 3 position switch, because it is the only one that I can get to hold two different positions. To be clear, I don't want it there! I have gone into hardware in an attempt to remedy this but going from toggle to 2 position switch makes no difference, the push buttons are all momentary. For that matter I find the wording confusing, are toggle and 2 position not the same thing?? Shouldn't the two options be toggle, or momentary? Is there a way to accomplish what I am trying to do without involving other pages (logical switches etc)) Also on my Zorro, same issue with trying to use switch A for Horizon, and I can only get it to do the momentary function. What does FL stand for in regard to FL1, FL2? Apologies if any or all of the above was covered in the video, I have watched several times and just cannot get it, thank you! From my own and some others' experience the manuals are good in some areas but woefully lacking in other areas
The way to go here is by using logical switches. Sorry, but this is the way you do this in EdgeTX! In the 3rd chapter of the video ("Setup a simple push button as a 2-pos-toggle switch") I setup a push button (in my case it tis the SD button but it works the same with SB) as a 2-pos toggle button (every button press toggles the state [on > off > on > ...]). About the Hardware page: here you "define" what type of hardware a specific element is and not what type of behaviour you would like to have! About FL1 / FL2: with your MT12 you also got additional "extension plates" that can be installed on top of the battery compartement (one plate with two switches and one plate with some sort of joystick). If you install one of those then you would have to go the hardware page and "tell" EdgeTX" what type of hardware this is and then you can "assign" these FLx elements (this is shown in the video in the 2nd chapter "Setup and use the additional 2-pos-toggle switches on the front panel").
@@arminrc Thank you very much for the reply, I will have to hammer it in one way or another! Can you please tell me what FL stands for, I can not find that anywhere?
Tut mir leid, aber den Aufwand, die Videos in zwei Sprachen zu produzieren, werde ich mir wohl in Zukunft nicht mehr antun. Lohnt sich einfach nicht. Sorry!
Also ich finde das auch echt schade das das nicht auf deutsch ist! In englisch gibts da eigentlich echt genug Videos. Aber klar geht halt um die Klicks
Danke für den Kommentar! Nachdem ich eure beiden Bemerkungen gelesen hatte (ich beziehe mich auch auf den Kommentar von andreass), habe ich relativ lange überlegt, ob/wie ich euch antworten soll. Verzeiht, wenn es jetzt offen und ehrlich wird. 1. Ja, es geht um Klicks! Warum soll man ein Video machen, welches keiner anschaut? 2. Zu diesem speziellen Thema (speziell das Programmieren eines 3-Pos-Schalters über den Trim-Switch) habe ich noch kein Video gefunden, weder auf Deutsch, noch auf Englisch. Über einen Link zu einem Video, in dem die gleichen Themen behandelt werden, würde ich mich freuen. Bin immer interessiert, wie andere div. Dinge umsetzen. 3. Ein Video in zwei Sprachen zu machen bedeutet schlicht und einfach auch den doppelten (Zeit-)Aufwand. Und bitte nicht glauben, dass, wenn ein Video 20 Minuten dauert, es dann auch nur 20 Minuten dauert, es zu erstellen! 4. Wenn jemand der Meinung ist, zu diesem Thema sollte es ein Video in Deutsch (oder irgend einer anderen Sprache) geben, so bitte, einfach machen! Niemand hindert euch daran.
@@arminrc kann dich verstehen. Aber wie du ja weisst gibt es keine deutschen Videos dazu. Vielleicht hält es viele vom Kauf einer mt12 ab. Weil man nichts auf deutsch dazu findet. Könnte ja sein das wenn du Videos dazu machst es mehrere Leute geben wird die sich eine kaufen und deine Videos schauen. Aber ich kann das Thema Zeit sehr gut nachvollziehen.

Thanks for watching and the kind comment! I would like to learn about your method of doing it. Would you mind telling me a bit about it? Thanks!
Thank you so much. This was the exact tutorial i needed to setup my rover.
You are welcome! I am glad that is was helpful to you.
absolutely legendary. well done

MAAAAAN, Armin..., congrats to 1000 subs. Up to the next 1000...
Thanks! Yeah, it took some time but here we are!
Thanks to 5his video I was able to program a electric switch to turn lights on and off. I was trying to make it way more complex than needed.
Thanks for watching!

What do you mean with "the MT12 no longer works". How does the problem manifest itself?
Thank you so much for this but could you help me understand how to use the P1 rotary dial to change the sensitivity and dual rate for my steering?
Thanks! Using P1 (or P2) for controlling the dual rate of a channel is currently not possible I am afraid! At least not without using LUA.
@@arminrc I got it working last night through special functions and mixing I think it was
I control the weight of the steering with P1 and the weight of the throttle, brake with P2.
Just found a way. Please give me a moment to test it all out. Video is coming ...

I've used OpenTX in the past but am still a beginner overall amd am trying to learn as much as I can.

I need this setting on T5 but with steps, I need this for a light controller. So it would be 0 10 20 30 40 and same in minus
