How to assign CH6 out put from mix switch?

Greetings. I have the devo 10. I'm flying custom built multicopters with a range of receivers that have 6 to 9 pinned outs. I've got model.ini that puts gear on ch5 and Aile D/R on ch 6, but I want to understand how to assign Mix as a 3 point switch to CH6 or set up Aux 4 and 5 to provide variable expo to CH 2 or 3.

For getting the MIX switch to output to CH6 I've tried a bunch of settings but now I'm stuck at:

-channel6-
template=expo_dr
-mixer-
src=MIX
dest=Ch6
curvetype=expo

I can't see any activity on CH6 when I flick the MIX switch but the indicator on the screen does show M0,M1,M2

Thanks in advance for any tips on how to get there.

Switches are a bit tricky in the latest version. With a single mix, you can get +/- 100% for On or Off: as in MIX0 is on or off, and MIX1 is on or off, and MIX2 is on or off. To get three states, you have to have at least two mixers, and three is a bit clearer.

Three mixers:I.e. - MIX0 on gets you -100, MIX1 on gets you 0, both off (MIX2 on) gets you 100.

Two mixers:So: MIX1 on gets you 0. Otherwise you get 100 if MIX2 is on and -100 if MIX2 is off (meaning MIX0 is on).

If you've got any more questions, just ask.

EDIT: Forgot: all the mixers are replace!

Greetings MWM,

I gave that a try and messed with variations of that, but I couldn't get the mix switch to do anything. I'm using an OrangeRX 615X via DSMX receiver. If I modify and use the AIL DR switch I get controls over Ch6 but if I use either of the samples I lose control on both ch5 and ch6

It also seems I've messed up something else. I went to try and fly with a basic set up and my quad flew great, but the controls were so bloody sensetive anything more than the mildest movements resulted in flip flip crash! Fortunately my quad is tough as nails save for a few broken props.

Here's what I tried today.

Thanks for helping. I am excited to figure this out so I can do a bit more with it!
