Works perfectly now.

Just so everyone knows, you just connect a wire to the red node and connect that to the empty terminal on the switch. Other then that it is wired exactly as my picture.

Im doing a mx3 3rd channel mod, ive read the thread in the tech section and then read this thread about an error, my question is where are you getting your five volts from, the orange or green wire?
Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you may have it wired so that you're shorting the 5V to gnd when you flip the switch.

Yeah, there are several possible 5V nodes that can be used.

For the stage 1 switch setup with a 3 pisition momentary like used in the write up. Does the rear return to center with the switch or do you have to do it manualy? Cant you just ajust the trim in the menu on the remote to center the rear instead of instaling a manual trim? thanks for the help

i see on your tech write up that you have a trim pot there in the stage two how do you wire that in to the switch. if you could can you like show it like you did on the switch with the yellow lines i can understand where they go then. not really able to understand the white box schematic. thanks for any help on this.

This should be correct for stage 2 wiring. Can use most any size wire....whatever is flexible and easy to work with. The wire size is not critical.
