ETHOS Tech Tip 18 - Trainer System Functions and Input Mapping Workarounds

This video covers the trainer system, some of its limitations, setup and some workarounds for the 8ch limit and the limitation on what items the trainer system can replace.

I am just about to dive into getting my Horus X10S and X 20 S set up together both ways. Can I as an idiot question up front? Can I just set up one slave model and use that for all the master’s models? Or is there a slave for each master model? Now to watch your vid! 😊

Yes, you can set up one student model. In fact that's exactly what I did on the X18. You do have to setup each instructor model separately, but that's only configuring the trainer system itself for basic models

@@adam_mawz_maas so conceptually, the trainer just substitutes for the stick movements on the master when active and the individual model stuff - servo directions and such - are supplied by each model definition on the master. (Which I guess is just the setup that exists already but with the addition of the trainer ‘you have control switch’?)
