DLG Programming ?

DLG Programming ? was created by SkySailor
Okay so I managed to get my ailerons working on channels 1 and 2 but I have no idea how I did it. I have tried a couple of different ways to put flaps on my throttle but to no avail. I admit I am brand new to Deviation but I really lost my the nomenclature. For example, I cannot figure out what each item in the menu relates to on the hardware side of things.

I am using a Devo10 white with a Lemon 6ch RX.

I believe once I can see in my head how each item in the menus relate to one another I might be better skilled to sort all this out. I have figured out that the exclamation point means it has been reversed. Baby Steps....I guess

First, I hope you're using the advanced GUI. If not, then I have no idea how you got this far either.

To put the flaps on the throttle, you need to connect the servo(s) that control them to channel 1 on the Rx. It should be labelled throttle. Assuming you haven't broken the model file on your Tx, that should do it.
Do not ask me questions via PM. Ask in the forums, where I'll answer if I can.

My remotely piloted vehicle ("drone") is a yacht.

WMW's advice is correct, and hopefully, you're not already committed to using ch1 for AIL - you've got work to do :-)
Take a look at this RCGroups thread: www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2113490
It should help.
Good luck!
Too many hobbies & too many Devos!

Thanks, I am not really committed to anything....LOL I am really starting to feel like this radio is too much for this old dog to handle. I thought it would be a simple less expensive way to fly the tiny DSM2 Rx's but it is not looking that way. This system is much more powerful than I really need.

I really appreciate all the help everyone has offered.

i take it you have ailerons, flaps, rudder and elevator using 2 servos for the ailerons and 2 for the flaps, then one each for the rudder and elevator? if so it will be easy enough to set it up, and while the advanced gui can be daunting at first it's relatively easy to pick it up with a bit of help :)

I have 3 servos total. One for each flaperon and one for the elevator. The ailerons work as flaps when needed.

I'm betting that this is the builder. Check your messages at RCgroups if so. If not, I have just put a model file and instruction page on my blog over there. Search for toastermoore.

ok here's a basic model that should give you an idea of what you need, this will give you a proportional flaperon based on the throttle stick, 0 flaperon at -100 throttle, to maximum flaperon at +100 throttle. you'll need to put one aileron servo into rx ch2 the other into rx ch6 and elevator to rx ch3 as normal. you might need to reverse the direction of the channels depending on how your servos are set up but try this see if this works out for you.

Topher , Yup it's me.

I did indeed drop Topher's program in my TX and it seems to work very well. I will have to look all of this over and see if it makes sense to this old brain.
