Hello
I have a devo 12 s with deviation 5
I have got this tx to have proportinnal channels by the sliders and potentiometers on the side of the tx
I am trying to use the sliders and pots to affect them to channels but I do not see how this is possible
I suppose that the source for the sliders and pots are aux2 to aux7 but that does not work.
Can you help me

Thanks
Morlacus

I don't have a 12s so don't know off hand, but you should be able to see what's what by going into the Input Monitor?

Thanks for your reply
I have checked the input monitor
The aux2 to aux7 are there but nothing can activate them

Have you calibrated them?

Hello and thanks a lot, FDR
That was the good question to ask !!
As my sticks were well calibrated I am ashamed not to have thought that it had to be done for Aux entries..
All is in order
Best regards

Have you added mixers for the sliders?

Ah-haaa! That was the solution to a problem I've been puzzling over for weeks! Thanks!

Too many hobbies & too many Devos!

Hello
I was wondering whether it could not be good to have in the download for the devo 12 s a tx.ini with a calibration for the sliders and pots (Aux entries). This could help beginners (or not) to ask the same question and think their TX is faulty....
So I include my tx.ini which is calibrated for all entries and touch screen, and even if it is not the same for all devo 12s (why no ?) il could be a good basis.

Best regards

I think the answer is you need to calibrate all the analog inputs on every tx no matter what. The sticks come sorta-kind precalibrated, but things don't work properly until you calibrate them - unless you're just incredibly lucky.

My take on it is that we shouldn't pre-calibrate the sticks either, but that would be a change.

If you want a serious discussion about this, try posting an issue on the bug tracker as a feature request that it be changed this way. That will engage the devs.

Do not ask me questions via PM. Ask in the forums, where I'll answer if I can.

I do not consider this as a bug as this does not concern the deviation firmware.
I posted this as a possibility to prevent users from thinking that their devo 12s tx did not work when installing deviation. It would be effectively possible to have all entries (including sticks ) not calibrated. But in this case it would be good and even necessary to include the calibration in the installation process in the manual..
I do not know exactly what means a serious discussion.
Consider that this was just the post of a user on a forum in order facilitate the use this excellent firmware.
best regards

Well "bug tracker" is a misnomer - it's actually for any suggested change to the distribution, most notably including feature requests or suggestions for changes to the manual and web site. "Issue tracker" is better terminology, but I didn't get to make that decision.

Everything in the bug tracker gets a developer to at least look at it. That's where you'd make a suggestion in hopes of getting a developer to actually implement it. The only better way to get a change into deviationTx or the manuals is to make it yourself and add a pull request to the repository on github.
