How to Configure Six-Position Switch Flight Modes in EdgeTX
I. Principle
RC transmitters typically support up to 3-position switches, while ArduPilot flight controller systems can have up to 6 flight modes configured. To facilitate quick switching between multiple flight modes during flight, the transmitter's mixing function is typically used to mix a 3-position switch and a 2-position switch (or two 3-position switches) into a single 6-position switch, enabling more flexible and efficient mode switching.
