The Auxiliary Channel Mixing function allows you to Mix either Steering Channel 1 or Throttle Channel 2 to Auxiliary 1 (Channel 3)
or Auxiliary 2 (Channel 4), while maintaining separate Sub-Trim, EPA, Servo Reversing and other settings. For example, if your
monstertruckfeaturesdualfrontSteeringservos,insteadofusingaY-HarnesstojointhetwoSteeringservos,youcanusethe
Auxiliary Channel Mixing function to operate both steering servos together and still be able to make adjustments to each servo
separately. In addition, if your 1/5th scale model features a third-channel Brake, you could use the Auxiliary Channel Mixing
function to control it along with the Throttle channel Brake.
The Auxiliary Channel Mixing function can be toggled ON and OFF while you're driving using Auxiliary Switch Sw1 and the
Auxiliary Mixing Rate percentage value can be adjusted on the fly using a Trim Switch.
This section details programming the Auxiliary Channel Mixing function for both Auxiliary 1 (Channel 3) and Auxiliary 2
(Channel 4), since programming each of them is the same. Choose either CH A1 for Auxiliary 1 (Channel 3) or CH A2 for
Auxiliary 2 (Channel 4), depending on which channel you want to program the Auxiliary Channel Mixing function for.
Choosing the Auxiliary Channel Mixing Function:
1) From within the AUX menu, press the UP or DOWN keys to highlight AUX SET.
If the cursor isn't flashing over Channel/Options, press the BACK key, then
press the UP or DOWN keys to highlight the AUX SET menu Option.
2) Press the ENTER key, then press the UP or DOWN keys to highlight either CH A1
TYPEorCHA2TYPE,dependingonwhichAuxiliarychannelyouwanttoprogram,
either Auxiliary 1 (Channel 3) or Auxiliary 2 (Channel 4).
3) Press the ENTER key, then press the UP or DOWN keys to choose the AUX MIX option
for the selected channel.
1) Press the ENTER key, then press the UP or DOWN keys to highlight either CH A1
MODE or CH A2 MODE, depending on which Auxiliary channel you're programming.
2) Press the ENTER key, then press the UP or DOWN keys to choose the desired Auxiliary
Channel Mixing Mode value, either ST-MIX or TH-MIX.
Changing the Auxiliary Channel Mixing Mode Value (Mixing Type):
The Auxiliary Channel Mixing Mode value determines which channel, either the Steering channel or the Throttle channel, will
be Mixed with the selected Auxiliary channel.
AUX SET AUX MIX MODE setting range is ST-MIX and TH-MIX. The default setting is ST-MIX.
Choosing the Key Option (Key Assign Function):
In the default configuration, AUX1 AMIX is controlled by Auxiliary Switch Sw2 and AUX2 AMIX is controlled by Auxiliary Switch
Sw3.TheKeyoptionisashortcuttotheKEYASSIGNmenu,whichallowsyoutoAssigntheAuxiliaryChannelMixingfunction
to a different Auxiliary Switch or a Trim Switch.
How you control the Auxiliary Channel Mixing function will depend on how you want to use it. For example, if you want to
change the Mixing Rate within the AUX CH menu to a fixed Rate percentage value and simply toggle the Auxiliary Channel
Mixing function ON and OFF as required, you can Assign AUX1 AMIX or AUX2 AMIX to Auxiliary Switch Sw1 or Sw2. Alternately,
if you want to be able to variably change the Mixing Rate percentage value on the fly, you can Assign AUX1 AMIX or AUX2 AMIX
to Trim Switch Sw3, then toggle the Auxiliary Channel Mixing function ON and OFF by Assigning AUX1 AMIX or AUX2 AMIX to
Auxiliary Switch Sw1 or Sw2. Auxiliary Switch Sw3 is not suitable for controlling the Auxiliary Channel Mixing function, so
we don't recommend using it.
