Assigning switches and control switches

The basic procedure

At many points in the program there is the option of

using a switch (SW 1 … 9) or a control switch (G1 … 3;

see below) to operate a function, or to switch between

settings, such as the DUAL RATE / EXPO function, ﬂight

phase programming, mixers and more. The mx-16

HoTT allows you to assign several functions to a single

switch.

The process of assigning switches is exactly the same

in all the relevant menus, and we will explain the basic

programming procedure at this point so that you can

concentrate on the special features when reading the

detailed menu descriptions.

A switch symbol appears in the bottom line of the screen

at all programming points where switches can be as-

signed:

Move to the appropriate column using the arrow buttons

of the left or right touch-key.

This is the procedure for assigning a switch:

Brieﬂy press the 1. SET button of the right-hand touch-

key. The following message appears on the screen:

push desired switch

into position ON

Now simply move the switch you wish to use to the 2.

“ON” position, press the push-button, or move the

Ch 1 stick from the “OFF” position in the direction of

“ON”. Please note: the so-called control switches as-

signed to this transmitter control (see right) carry out

the task of an ON / OFF switch in software; the same

applies to the throttle limiter (see page 99) which is

available in the “Helicopter” model type. This com-

pletes the assignment process.

Changing the direction of switching:

If the switch turns out to work in the wrong direction, you

can correct it as follows: move the switch to the desired

OFF position, activate switch assignment once more

and assign the switch again, this time with the switch

direction you prefer.

Erasing a switch:

Activate the switch symbol as described under

Point 2, then brieﬂy press the button combination

 or  of the right-hand touch-key (CLEAR)

simultaneously

Transmitter control switches

Many functions are best controlled automatically by a

particular (freely programmable) position of the Ch 1

transmitter stick (or the throttle limiter in the case of heli-

copters), rather than by a conventional physical switch.

Typical applications:

Automatically switching an on-board glowplug ener-•

gizer on and off according to the throttle position of

the Ch 1 stick (“G1” or “G2”). In this case the switch

for the plug energizer is controlled by a mixer at the

transmitter.

Automatically switching a stopwatch on and off to •

record the pure “ﬂight time” of a model helicopter; this

is accomplished using the “G3” switch of the throt-

tle limiter.

Automatically switching the “AIL •  RUD” mixer off

when the airbrakes are extended, in order to keep

the wings parallel with the ground when landing on

a slope face, without the (usually coupled) rudder af-

fecting the model’s heading.

Automatically extending landing ﬂaps with coupled el-•

evator trim adjustment on the landing approach, as

soon as the throttle stick is reduced below the set

threshold point.

Automatically switching a stopwatch on and off in or-•

der to time the run of an electric motor.

For both model types the mx-16 HoTT transmitter’s

software caters for these purposes with two “control

switches” of this type; they can be assigned to the Ch 1

stick: “G1” is switched on at around -80% of full travel,

while “G2” is switched on at around +80%. The Helicop-

ter program also includes an extra control switch “G3” on

the throttle limiter close to the 100% point; see page 99.

All these control switches can be included without

restriction in the free programming of the switches, i. e.

they can be assigned to a function instead of a physical

switch. This means that you are able to assign one of

the control switches G1 … G2 (or G1 … G3) instead

of a physical switch at any point in the software where

switches are assigned. All you have to do is move the

Ch 1 stick or the throttle limiter control (by default the

rotary proportional control CTRL 6) from the desired

“OFF” position in the direction of “ON”.
