Program description - Channel sequencer
Channel sequencer
Programming the motion sequences of up to 3 servos
This option is available on the mc-20
HoTT transmitter only.
Use the selection keys on the left or right
four-way button to scroll to the »Channel
sequence« menu option in the multi-function menu:
Tx. output swap

Trim memory
Telemetry

Multichannel
Tap briefly on the centre SET key of the right four-way
button to open this menu option:

The »Channel sequence« menu option can be used
to execute up to 9 exactly coordinated steps for up to
three servos over a period of up to 30 seconds. Such a
sequence can be triggered by a single switch and be-
gin at an initial servo position which is freely adjustable.
For example, this makes the opening of undercarriage
doors, complete with subsequent extension of the
retractable gear, just as simple to program as opening
a wheel well with renewed closing of one undercarriage
door once the landing gear has been lowered or to
program the raising of a cockpit canopy with subse-
quent head turns and waving performed by the pilot.
However, the prerequisite for all these actions is the
“parsing” of the desired motion sequence into practical,
individual steps.
Programming procedure
On this menu option’s first display page, see figure
below left, either accept the three preset channels, 9,
10 and 11, or select an available channel, 5 … 12, for
each line to form any other desired combination, e. g.:
Channel
Channel
Channel sequenzer
channel
SET
10
11
INACT
INACT
INACT
Channel
12
With a simultaneous tap on the or selection
keys of the right four-way button (CLEAR), the given
channel is reset back to 5, 6 or 7.
The next step makes the control channels needed for
the channel sequence available. This is done in the
“SET” column by changing settings from “INACT” to
“ACT” and thus making the individual channels “avail-
able” to the program for sequencing. Conversely, this
also means that channels defined as “active” in the
»Channel sequence« menu are not available for other
purposes:

Channel sequenzer

SET

Channel
12
ACT
With a simultaneous tap on the or selection
keys of the right four-way button (CLEAR), the given
channel is reset back to “INACT”.
Once control channels and their activity statuses have
been set, switch to the right column then tap on the
centre SET key of the right four-way button to reach
the second page, the »Channel sequence« menu’s
choreography page. Since the call-up of the second
page in this example was issued from the “Channel12”
line, this servo remains the object of focus after the
page change:

The previous display page permitted the selection of
participating servos and their incorporation into the
sequence. This display page will now be used to es-
tablish the sequence of steps for participating servos,
beginning with initial positions yet to be defined. The
step number, from “0” to a maximum of “9”, will be
shown in the column labelled “ST” near the bottom left
of the display.
Step 0: Setting initial position
Keep the focus of attention on “(Channel) 12” or
change to any other of the three servos by using the
keys of the left four-way button, e. g. upward to
“(Channel) 10”:
