[@SchonRichtig]

Hey JB, thank you for making this video and all your other great stuff. I was searching sooo long for a solution to change the vtx channel during the flight. Made the short clip to show other betaflight users how to do it, but I'm really not good in making videos :) So thank you for bringing this information this to all interested pilots. The direct translation of "Schon Richtig" is "already right" from german, can't remember why I used this :) Kind regards Steffen

Hey Joshua, "schon richtig" is German and means "already right". It's spoken like "shon rihjtig" or "shon rihjtihj" while you speak the "ch" almost like the "h" in "Hugh" or "human".

Thanx Joshua! I tested this method and I found two issues. 1. there is only 10 positions of vtx index (from 0 to 9) so if you want set one swith for channels and second for power then there is not enough position in the index for all. 2. swhitching channels worked only until first arm, after that, channel cannot be changed. I have to unplug battery and plug it back then I can change the channel by switch again.

This feature just came in handy for locating my quad lost in a snowy forest. I crashed into the trees. I used the directional patch on my goggles, and via this switch dialed down the lost quads VTX's output to 25mAh allowing me to triangulate with precision the video strength, and I located my downed quad.

💥💥 GAME CHANGER 💥💥 I wanted this forever and asked in several FPV communities. I even started programming my own LUA script to change VTX settings with a dial but without success. Now I will finally replace a pot on my QX7 with a 8-way rotary switch and some resistors and can happily switch channels without the OSD/LUA script. BTW: "Schon Richtig" isn't a name. It is German and means "quite right" (mostly in the context of a fact being contested).

You can use your trim switches for this with a bit of OpenTX wrangling... have one to click through channels 1-8, then have two power levels on another trim. You can even put pit mode on the same channel as the power trim, with pit mode using the first half of the range so that the centre beep lets you know it’s on!

[@TechnicallyTom]

If you tied changing channels to the armed state with logical switches, you could make it impossible to accidentally change channels while flying and you would not be adding another switch you had to remember to flip.

Great video! I really fell hard for programming microcontrollers in college, and this is the kind of stuff I love. Don't blame the computer programmers for starting the count at zero. The microcontrollers, by nature, like to start at zero. So if you have an 8-bit port called Port B, the pins will be manufactured in that the bits (pins) of Port B are labeled PB0-PB7. The programmers just have to follow that convention. When we write code to use the first bit of the port we say PB0.

[@PilotPlater]

saw this video long ago, did it today. Was running out of aux channels so I put my beeper as position 6, and the vtx tx powers as positions 1-4. Nice thing about this is if I select the beeper, since it's outside the range of the vtx command it just won't respond to it, so I can beeper at any vtx setting. Had a close call where I forgot the quad was still on 25mw mode after working on it, now I can change the tx power on the fly to balance range, gps interference, and being a good RF neighbor. 😎

[@iflykostak_fpv_channel]

Hey everyone. For example, because the Taranis QX7 has a maximum of three-position switches, it is possible to set four or more VTX power values to servo knob and this knob set for AUX channel.

I am heading off to watch your smart audio stuff again. Getting back into quads after a year or two and my quad has smart audio but I remember NOTHING about it. I always have to fumble for 5-10 minutes to remember the secret stick code to even get into the menu, lol. I love flying quads, but I am disabled so anytime I crash I need to get someone else to go fetch my quad, makes it really hard to get stick time in, and I am more panicked than most I suspect about crashing. I need to find a friend who is into quads. Have some grandkids, but I would not trust them on the quad without a lot of stick time. Need to get them a tiny whoop or something.

Damn dude. Very cool! I followed your instructions and it works. I always worried about crashing far away in the summer and the vtx overheating. SA is nice but a pain in the ass when you're in a hurry and want to immediately start walking to your quad and not stand there while you flip through menus. Plus I assume if you're far enough away that 25mw won't let you see video, you can flick the switch back to 500 or 800mw to take a quick peek and flip back to 25mw. Which might also make it easier to find if you go down in a large field with no landmarks by going down to 25mw and using a patch antenna on your goggles to get the direction of the quad. It's great to just flick a switch and get down to 25mw. Much faster than going through SA.

[@JL-lk2on]

PSA for anyone who did this, however your Band, Channel, and Power on all your quads is getting defaulted to the same band, channel, power periodically no matter how you configure this switch, or what info you save in the Video Transmission dropdown boxes. My first quad was a Mobula8, and part of the setup instructions had me go into my RadioMaster Lua script under VTX Admin, and enter values there to account for a bug they were having getting VTX to output max power. I didn't know it then, but I was hard coding in a Channel, Band, and Power that would then override input from any other source be it the CLI or Betaflight Gui every time telemetry was gained/lost weather in-flight or on the bench... If you're having this issue, check VTX Admin in your Lua script to make sure it's not forcing out this info to your quads.

[@dmyers9230]

Ya, analog for the win

[@gizmoguyar]

This is exactly what I use the six position switch for. Very handy. Unfortunately the smart audio protocol is really not well designed. To got around this, many transmitters boot up it pit mode, or they have some funky behavior where if you send the wrong command over smart audio, it goes to the default/boot up power. It's just something to be aware of. It took me days to get mine working by bodging the setting and vtx tables and whatnot, and I'm still not really sure why it does work. Also, FYI you don't need to create a mix in OpenTX, you can just assign the physical input to your aux channel. It will save some time and processor cycles.
