FrSky XM+ with FT Aura 5

[Rdjohn]

The servo outputs seem to be switched from the Aura 5. Moving the throttle on the transmitter moves the Aileron servo. Moving the Aileron moves the elevator servo. The rudder works fine. There is no throttle control. I've checked the wiring, all the servos are correctly hooked up. It's probably something simple. Any ideas?

Sounds like your transmitter has channel mapping set to AETR instead of TAER. You can either change it in your transmitter, or use the config gui to learn the mapping.

The inputs are set at TAER in the Taranis x7 transmitter. That matches up with the Aura 5 diagram. Still haven't figured it out.

Hey LitterBug, you were right. The Aura5 shipped to me set for AETR. I had to switch my mixer page on the Taranis X7 to match.

Update on my Aura 5 experience. I reset the board to Flitetest 1.13 settings. The inputs are all back to normal. I enabled 6 axis mode and have the SB switch on my transmitter set to position 5. When I power up the model it seems to stay in 6 axis mode. The SB switch does not switch modes on the receiver. Any Ideas

If you go to the channels monitor on your X7, does channel 5 change when you move the SB switch? If not, keep flipping switches and knobs till you find out what control is mapped to CH5. On my X9D CH5 is mapped to the SE switch. I had to reverse CH5 to get it to work the way I wanted it to.

Cheers!

LB, on my outputs page I can see each each flight control change the us number on the top of the page for channels 1-4. None of the switches on the transmitter will change the us number for channel 5. Channel 5 is mapped to the SB switch on the inputs page.

Did you map it on the mixer and/or outputs pages?

See screenshots of my config.

I followed the Flitetest FrSky setup. It shows mapping the SB with to channel 5 on the Inputs page.

Can you take pictures of your inputs and mixer pages?

You need to edit CH5 on the mixer tab and set it to I05. Right now there is nothing assigned to the channel 5 mix. Once you do that, it should work.

Cheers!

I'll give it a try

 

[Rdjohn]

This is the edit page for CH5. It shows I05 as source

 

[Rdjohn]

I just saw the switch setting as blank a few lines down I set it to SB. I'll try it

 

[Rdjohn]

That seems to work. Thanks a bunch. There is no way I would have found that.

I figured all this mapping and mixing out when getting the X9D a year or so ago. I "named" my inputs so that I could look at it and know Fmod = "flight mode" etc... like they did with Rud, Ele, Thr, Ail. Makes it self documenting and easier to read rather than having to look at I05 and go back to the input to see what switch is mapped to I05.

Great info. Matts video is a little lacking. Didn't mention MIXER page at all.

Leave feedback on the video. Maybe he will update it to include it.
