hey man, got a question. i am trying to setup a the ch. 3 DR switch to act as a 3 pos. winch controller.
I have a heyok 3 pos. winch controller wired into my servo.
when going through the REV menu following your steps above i do not get the same options you outline.

i will list, in order the options i get. and let me know anywhere it doesnt seem right to you.

1. long click on REV (now blinking small 1, and showing TR1)

2.i scroll to small 'd' and CH3, with the 'd' flashing.

3. short click with Enter and 'd' is solid with CH3 blinking.

4. short click Enter again. and it goes to the d BMO, (with MO flashing)

so pretty much at step 4 i get a completely different string of options, and am not sure what to do next. I just want either the dr CH3, the CH3 trim to be my 3 pos. winch controller.

And you're saying the d/r switch isn't turning your winch on and off?

That's correct nothing.

Is there a way to reset all setting and start again?

Sorry to be a pain just thinking o may have messed up somehow.

[losikid]

Yea, you can reset...not sure how off the top of my head. Look at the manual, its a really simple procedure

Are you sure you want a 4WS mix and not an independent rear steer?

I want to be able to hold 4ws on ch 3 button (when I let go, it goes back to normal)
And ch 3 trim left would make it opposing and trim right would make it crab (one push on button)
Is that possible?

Thanks

How do I set up light control? Is there a way to simply turn them on & off?
And have various light sets controlled by separate channels?

Sorry. Let me try to explain better since I've been messing with 0.6.1 a bit. I mainly want to drive normal (no rear steer, rear servo in center) and when I need/want, switch to 4ws (opposing wheels) and crab via the 3rd channel trim buttons.

Thanks again losikid!

[Sna08]

Should I create different channels for crab and 4ws? Ex. 4ws on ch 4 and crab on ch 5? And map each button to the channels?Or am I way off?

Thats not how 4ws mix works on the flyskys... You assign a trim (or d/r switch) to 4WS and you get front only, 4ws, rear only (or any bias mix inbetween).

Then for crab/4ws you assign a button (like C, the channel 3 button) to go from 4ws to crab
