Monochrome Remote Flight/Driving Mode
I. Flight/Flight Modes
Flight modes (FM) and flight/driving modes (DM) (on the radio transmitter) allow you to set different trim settings for each flight/driving mode.
Once multiple flight/driving modes are configured, you can adjust the trim settings in each flight/driving mode without affecting the trim settings of other flight/driving modes (unless they are configured to do so).
There are nine possible flight/driving modes, with flight/driving mode 0 being the default mode.
The flight/driving mode overview screen displays an overview of the configured flight/driving modes. Each flight mode row displays the following information:
- Mode number
- Mode name
- Switch
- Trim settings (RETA)
Check FM Trim: When Check FM Trim is pressed, the trim for the current flight/driving mode is temporarily disabled. This is used to test the effect of the current flight/driving mode's trim on the output.
Selecting a flight/driving mode from the overview screen will open the configuration page, which has the following options:
Name: Custom name for the flight mode. If configured, this name will be displayed next to the battery voltage in the upper left corner of the main screen.
Switch: Trigger to enable this flight/driving mode. Can be a switch, knob, telemetry, trim, or logic switch.
Trim - To configure trim, select the trim you want to configure (each column is a trim). Then scroll to select the flight/driving mode (0-8) that will provide the initial trim value and modifier. Select -- to disable the trim.
When 3P is selected instead of a flight mode (0-8), the trim will function as a three-position momentary switch.
Modifier - There are two possible value modifiers: = and +. The = modifier directly uses the trim value of the selected flight/driving mode. The + modifier uses the trim value of the selected flight/driving mode, then adds the trim value of the flight/driving mode you are configuring.
Fade In: Gradually change the trim value when this flight/driving mode is enabled. Specify the time (seconds) required to complete the value change (0.0 - 25.0).
Fade Out: Gradually change the trim value when this flight/driving mode is disabled. Specify the time (seconds) required to complete the value change (0.0 - 25.0).
II. Global Variables
Global variables are variables whose values are shared across all configuration screens in the model. Their values can be used for weights, offsets, differential, exponential settings, outputs, and logic switch comparisons. The bottom section of the flight/driving mode configuration screen displays an overview of each global variable for the selected flight/driving mode.
Each global variable row displays the following information:
- Global variable number: displayed as GV(1-9)
- Global variable name: user-defined global variable name - up to three characters.
- Mode: Value source for the global variable. Options are: Own: The global variable value for the selected flight/driving mode is manually defined in the Value text field. FM(1-9) - The global variable value for the selected flight/driving mode is inherited from the flight mode defined in the dropdown menu.
- Value: Current value of the global variable.
You can edit the value of a global variable by changing the value in the Value text field. Selecting the global variable number will open the global variable configuration screen, providing the following options:
- Name - Name of the global variable. Allows three characters.
- Unit - (Optional) Allows you to add a % label to the displayed value when selected. It does not affect how the value is calculated.
- Precision - Allows you to select the number precision options, integer (0.-) and decimal (0.0). Default value is 0.-
- Minimum value - Defines the minimum value allowed for the global variable.
- Maximum value - Defines the maximum value allowed for the global variable.
- Popup - When enabled, a popup will be displayed on the main screen when this global variable's value changes during normal use.
- FM1 → FM8 - Allows you to select the flight mode for global variable inheritance. Long press the field to toggle between Own and inheritance modes.
In Own mode, you can define the global variable value for the selected flight mode. In inheritance mode, you can select the flight mode from which the global variable will inherit its value.
