HOWTO: Get Axial NVS Light system working with Spektrum Dx4

[Thorvald]

Thanks to some clues in another thread I was able to figure this out. I'm posting it on it's own to try to help others.

I am running a new DX4 on my G6 with NVS and was having the annoying "left turn signal" all the time and "pulsing" lights. Blinkers worked fine when using the wheel but would not turn off when centered. One would always blink.

Here is how I solved the blinker issue:

1. I simply connected the NVS Steering Input to Aux1 on the Spektrum Rx.
2. Connected the steering servo back to the steering channel of the Rx.
3. Went into the DX4 menu and selected "Steer Mix".
4. Then selected the type to be "Dual AX1", left trim ACT for now and Rate at 100% each direction. This tells the radio to mirror the steering channel to the Aux 1 channel.

Now when I turn the wheel, the mix uses Aux1 as well and the blinkers work as they should.

So there is something funny about the steering channel on the Rx. Why it doesn't simply output a clean 1500us on center and 1000us to 2000us for min and max is beyond me.

I'll pull out the scope meter and have a look at it one of these nights.

To temporarily solve the pulsing headlight issue, I connected them to an Aux channel until I can chase that down.
