What Are Aux Channels and How to Set Up Flysky FS-i6X Aux Switches

[@strongbgood]

This was super helpful, explained very clearly, and gave me exactly what I was searching for. Thanks so much!

[@francisscanlon3510]

I have this transmitter and your videos have been extremely helpful. Fixed wing is my thing so videos referring to that topic are most appreciated.

[@RCwithAdam1]

That's great! More fixed wing stuff coming up!

[@DaleLadDaz]

3rd video ive watched, and tbh, the only one worth watching. I am pretty new to rc and know nothing, you have just not only taught me how to assign the full 10 channels, but made it so simple and excellently narrated as you went through the process. Thank you

[@queenidog1]

Good stuff buddy. Very well explained, no crappy music, good visuals. Told me everything I needed to know.

[@raifshammas8099]

Thank you so much,no one explain RC stuff as clearly as you do, Great presentation & talent, very professional.

[@Mosfet510]

I recently picked one up and wanted to use the aux switches, this saved a lot of time, thanks.

[@RCwithAdam1]

glad I could help!

[@LukeVanIn]

Very helpful, thank you. My controller is a little bit different. It has 6 channels, and uses the 2018 firmware. I don't see the aux switches setting under the system setup. I could only assign two aux switches under aux channels, but it works well enough.

[@knomigwen]

I just got this Transmitter, and I am really excited to start flying!

[@GrantFarrell]

Same here. Starts tomorrow

[@NeverDieKnight]

​@GrantFarrell same here starts tomorrow

[@pepper8048]

I agree. This is an excellent video on how to do the basic setup. I'm looking forward to visiting your site to see what else you have posted. I'd like to see a full video on setting up head tracking, if you are looking for a topic.

[@OzFPVflyer]

Mine came from Banggood perfectly packaged and all channels including Aux channels were fully setup. I bound the receiver to the quad and absolutely no setup was required on the transmitter including end points ect. Amazing.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Wow! Which quad?

[@OzFPVflyer]

@@RCwithAdam1 I only bought the radio, using it for a freestyle quad I already built. In Betaflight all I had to do was choose IBUS and everything else was perfect but I did have to setup modes. I didnt need to do anything on the radio.

[@michaelturpin4655]

this has answered a lot of things and has enabled much more functionality

[@raulvila1617]

This saved my life, I didn't knew you had to activate the switches

[@think2cre81]

Hey Adam , I'm Tim . I just finished changing my FS-i6 into the FS-i6x from watching your other video. It took awhile but was able to get it done . Now I'm trying to assign my switches back the way they were before. I had switch (A) or your (5 aux ) as you have yours set up in this video . as normal and sport mode for Ail. Elev. Rude. With dual rates . Then switch (B) your (6 aux ) as a safety for my throttle. Motor would not turn on if the switch was down . Then I was using (D) your (8 aux ) for trainer/student mode . But now I can't get the motor safety switch (B) to work at the same time as as the sport mode switch (A). And I was watching this video for help but because it's not a FSi6x it's a FS-i6 with the mod to 10 channels. It doesn't have the same listing for aux switches. It doesn't have that option after factory reset in your video. So can you help me figure this out ? Let me know please 🙏 lol 😆

[@joegirty6609]

just purchased one of these from the link you provided on another video. Need as many tutorials as possible. Will bind it with a mobula 7 i got on banggood. Looks like it will take several months to get here for some reason. Thanks for reading my life story. LOL.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Hi, Joe! Thanks for using my link! More tutorials are on the way!

[@tigerclawzgaming]

I don’t see the aux switches settings all I see is factory reset

[@Tanky2021]

Me too :(

[@RCJCB_and_Forestry]

Great vid. I’d almost started messing with firmware when thankfully I found this video!

[@HappyDude1]

Thx now i know what it means I got this flysky 6 channel For my tank but the aux switches in the manual are talking about 3 stands But the transmitter has only 2 stands for the aux like yours Is that a problem ?

[@JG-hi6by]

Thank you so much for this! May I make a suggestion of perhaps setting it up for tank like steering for RC ground models? If you haven’t already? (left stick controls forward backward left and right all on one mixed control. Right stick controls camera or possibly a little turret

[@royd7984]

I ordered one. When it gets here I'll need your help to learn how to set up everything. Thanks so much. See ya...

[@ar-redneck2926]

A very simple video for a complex problem thanks a lot

[@timewaster1959]

Most easy way to understand this upgrade,,,Thank you very much!😊

[@denismoran670]

As usual, a great vid and explanation for us techno challenged people! Thanks, Adam.

[@bevanforbes8360]

Thanks for a simple explanation for aux switching .. cheers

[@paulwiltshire2676]

Hi Adam great video easily explained for a novice like me. I had tried to make these switches work without success but thanks to your knowlege I now have working accessories on my model boat.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Glad it helped

[@ryanbohm4376]

Very well done video - super clear instructions. This really helped me out!

[@bluecavemen]

This maybe off topic or not I’m not sure. So I’m using this remote and a 10ch receiver. Now what I’m trying to do is use a hoverboard to turn into a lawnmower. I saw a video how connect and add the firmware. The firmware is for AUX I have it connected to ch1/ppm. On the right stick. (Left and right ) It makes the wheels go forward and backwards I can see the wheels spinning. But I don’t see the wheels moving left or right. I try moving all the stick every direction. I’m starting to think I need to do something in the settings so the right stick goes up or down to move left or right or the left stick does that either way I’m lost and not sure what to do

[@buder5116]

the more time progress the more questions i have what the maximum voltage can the reciever handle ? and how to handle a 270 deg servo it seem they require a wider range signal but nobody know how

[@farmerdrone]

great video. thanks. very helpful. I would like to take it up a notch and program switch 7 to the FMS Reflex V2 ... 3 options ... beginner..normal .. advanced ... who can I do this? thanks

[@secretfacekid8920]

Just bought one of these Adam, great set up video thanks.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Glad it helped!

[@wouthaeser6612]

Compliments for your great tutorials! I learned a lot ,but................I have 1 problem setting up my FS-i6X: I built a baitboat for carp fishing (very popular in the Netherlands) and I needed 2 motors to move the 2 feeding buckets (they roll over). I combined them with the AUX Switch VRB. This works very well, but the motors are going to fast. How can I reduce the motor speed of them? I hope you can help me out.

[@kj-yi5yo]

Thank you sir .I need help regarding my rc 6 channel heli how to bind it with my 6x

[@barryfitz4692]

Hi Adam, I have a Flysky i6s I’m having trouble with the

[@ojeezrc]

How to make the alieron and elevator mix ? For example when I turn left and right with the alieron I want the elavtor to move up aswell . instead when I turn to one side the elevator goes down and when I turn to the other side it goes up . how to make the elevator stay up when I turn both sides?

[@juaneiza]

Great video! Quick and to the point.

[@Airsally]

Thanks ...I have a 6 chn version and every time we flip the throttle hold switch down the motor goes to full power. Nothing I do stops that from happening???

[@thekessler11]

Am I able make switch c connected to a servo and customize the amount the servo is actuated for each position?

[@hattichya]

Liked the video! Few questions though. Are some of these channels Digital inputs or relays? And what are variable knobs? Resistance?

[@abemarais1292]

Hi Adam ,I know it's an old post or trends,but how do u do a mix on aux 4 for mixing rudder and alleron.What I need is to switch mix on and off

New to FPV I have a fs-16x I am using Liftoff to learn, I would like to setup the transmitter for my X220 drone what setting should I change.

[@jacksampson7711]

I know this is very old but I cannot figure out how to connect a reflex v2 to my 2 pole switch. 3 pole switch is being used by flaps. Got a video on this?

[@davidcurrie8564]

Hi there A super great review! but need help as I have the FS i6x on the way and need the correct Voltage for the receiver battery which is puzzling me does the BNF heli have the voltage type? thats also on the way. thanks!

[@Divyesh_Sinha]

Hey is there a way to set diff performance modes using the aux switches for a dual motor rc tank like mode 1 will enable 50% motor power in all directions and mode 2 will enable 100% motor power in all directions mainly to have more precision on the stick while doing tighter movements

[@adrianvargas3408]

Thank you so much, never knew there are more settings.

[@cchheeeessee]

Thanks so much. This was very very helpful and got me going.

[@BrokeBeardedGuy]

Is it possible to sway the dials for a switch or a regular switch to a 3 position? I'll probably end up feeding an Arduino with the receiver

[@mikemioduszewski9163]

Great information on setting the switches. Not in the manual. Kudos

[@RCwithAdam1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@michaelturpin4655]

Using a 6 channel receiver is it possible to assign channel 5 and 6 to the variable knobs

[@fpwolff]

Thank you so much, again very helpful , a born teacher.

[@SOPHOCLESIFY]

Great video, very helpful for beginners.

[@magicmike1122]

Does this also have failsafe so if I lose signal, the servos go to a pre set position?

[@hornet3983]

This is a wonderful video, however I am stuck, I have the same controller, the same ability to set 10 channels, but the receiver only has room for 6, how do I access all 10 channels at once, if at all possible

[@RCwithAdam1]

You'll need to get a receiver with 10 channels, such as the FS-iA10B.

[@rayfranklin9805]

I was just wondering if you could help me I set my flaps on Channel 6 and when I went to let them down the servo froze up on me on two of my planes help me if you can

[@kf4293]

Maybe it is set to move the servo too far? I think that can be adjusted, but I don't know how.

[@kj-yi5yo]

Thank you . My question how can I bind wltoys v966power star 1with flysky fs i6x ?

[@ashleyhopkin1065]

Hi, I have this handset, how would I program channel 7 to swb on the remote to switch channel 3 control between servo 1 and servo 2? Channel 3 which is the left joystick up and right to control servo one with swb in the up position and the second servo with swb in the down position? Would the two servos be connected to channel 3 with a relay on swb switching between the two different servos? Cheers

[@peterb01]

Hi, Adam. I'd like to program in a little rudder, and maybe later a little down elevator, onto SwD for hand launching a DLG. I've tried several things to no avail. What's the trick to make this happen? Can you help?

[@sadsausage2224]

Hi, I have a Flysky FS-i6 and I don't have a y-cable for my ailerons so I want to use ch1 as master and ch5 as slave. But my servo connected to ch5 only turns in one direction. What should I do? I have turned ch5 source to none in aux channels and Pos.mix and Neg.mix is 100% btw.

[@WakanTankaDakota]

Hi there, I am a beginner and do have a flysky i6 without x. I don’t find this menu. Is this not possible by my fs i6? I checked your other videos but I didn’t found a solution. Thx for your great work! Armin from Bavaria/Germany

Thanks for the video buddy, May I know if you know how to use the 3 position switch in a3 pro gyro?

[@HaveFaithInGod]

What I'm looking for is the map into for switches. ie Aux 1 = Arm Aux 2 = Mode Aux 3 = ? ect. What are the functions of the various channels?? I'm looking how to toggle off and on the led lights on a new drone I have with Flysky recevr but I don't know which Aux equals that function. I'm using a multiprotocol Jumper T Lite tx. Help?

[@briangrubb5481]

I have no tips to offer because i need them myself plus some help lol.. im trying to change the transmitter on a 22 channel excavator and someone mentioned flysky so here i am. I wasn't sure about the channel thing and still not kind of but most of the movement is the joysticks for boom travel and bucket curl snd after tht its forward and back and rotation an thats it besides on/off, sound blah blah. My question is will that transmitter and the 10 channel receiver do everything i need or do i need extra one bc im just confused honestly

[@anmwolfrc159]

Adam hope all is well I have the FlySky FS-i6X Transmitter and FS-X6B 6 Channel 2.4GHz Receiver can I use it with my Blade 130s rc helicopter and how can i get it to work PLEASE

Is it possible to assighn a mix mode to a switch.. so that a toggle switch switches on - off mix "a" (like a mix that slaves channel 3 to channel 1).

[@royd7984]

Adam you’re awesome. Thanks for your helpful videos. Those printed instructions are worthless. Biggest problem for me is changing screens without screwing up stuff. I’m talking about changing pages or menus, whatever. Maybe you could explain that for us. Thanks so much.

[@hamdanmunir413]

hey bro i have done what you have said here. Now when i connect to mission planner it only shows 8 channels. 9th and 10th channel doesnt work

[@jmogyoro]

Hello. I have two separate but related questions I am hoping someone can help me with. 1: If I set up a mix, is there a way to turn this mix on/off via a switch? 2: Dual rates(sport/normal) are activated by a switch but is there a way to have 2 separate switches for dual rates, say one switch turns on sport rate for ailerons and another switch does it for elevator. I had both of these functions on another radio and useful to me. thank you.

[@magicmike1122]

Can you assign channel 1 to a flip switch instead of a joystick?

[@RobertHilton-ho4kr]

Adam. Nice video. How do I program each individual aux switch to do what I want? i.e. SWA - arm. SWB - change flight modes. SWC - (3 position) - xxx. SWD - RTL? The assign aux switches menu item seems un-intuitive. Thanks.

[@RCwithAdam1]

If I understand your question, the switch will be selected in the menu for that specific function.

[@dgb5820]

Can you help me with adding a 4 relay module to my receiver as the relay modules I have are negative input not 5v positive into if this makes sense

Hi! I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Do you mean like a 4 position switch?

Hi Adam, I'm confused about something. When you enable the extra channels, how do you then use a switch for your dual rates? I like to have my rates on separate switches - elevator, aileron & rudder.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Hi, Rick! As far as I know, there is not a way to change the rates of channels individually--just all at once.

[@TRiSTAN_669]

So question.. I got a new heli (OmpHobby M1evo) and this Radiomaster Zorro and I can't seem to figure out how to set aux switches. What I mean is, if we're talking FPV drones, we use Betaflight and under the "modes" tab, we can customize which "AUX" switch is say "arm-disarm" is and flight modes like "stability-acro." M1evo's Flight Controller can't connect to Betaflight, so how?? For example, i renamed channel 5 under the "mixes" tab to "hold," which doesn't really do much, because that's not telling the Heli's Flight controller that I want that channel to be Throttle Hold, or Idle UP, or whatever I want it to be.. Anyone know? ?

[@tonyholmes7992]

First rate and great explanations. Thanks.

[@RCwithAdam1]
