Transmitter control settings

Basic procedures for assigning transmitter controls and switches

In addition to the two dual-axis stick units for the control

functions 1 to 4, the mx

-12 HoTT is ﬁ tted as standard

with a range of supplementary controls:

Two rotary proportional controls: CTRL 7 and 8. •

These are included in the menu as “ctrl 7” and “ctrl 8”.

Two three-position switches: SW 4/5 or CTRL 9 and •

SW 6/7 or CTRL 10. These are assigned in this menu

as “ctrl 9” and “ctrl 10” respectively.

One two-position switch: SW 3. This is indicated in •

the menu by “3” plus a switch symbol, which indi-

cates the direction of operation of the switch.

One momentary switch: SW 1. This is indicated by •

“1” plus a switch symbol and direction indicator, as

mentioned above.

The two dual-axis stick units directly affect the servos

connected to receiver outputs 1 … 4 (assuming that you

have set up a newly initialised model memory with the

model type “Fixed-wing model”). In contrast, the “sup-

plementary” transmitter controls listed above are inactive

when the transmitter is in its default state (as delivered).

As already mentioned on page 20, this means that the

transmitter in its basic form only controls servos con-

nected to receiver outputs 1 … 4 using the primary

sticks - even when you have initialised a new model

memory with the model type “Fixed-wing model” and

“bound” it to the receiver you intend to install. Any ser-

vos connected to receiver sockets 5 and 6 simply stay

at their centre point when you operate the associated

transmitter controls.

This may seem rather inconvenient at ﬁ rst sight, but

it is the only way to ensure that you can select any of

the “supplementary” transmitter controls for any task

you like, and that you are not required deliberately to

“program away” the transmitter controls which are not

required for a particular model.

Any superﬂ uous transmitter control will have an

effect on your model if you operate it by mistake -

unless it is inactive, i. e. unless no function is assi-

gned to it.

That is why you can select these “supplementary” trans-

mitter controls with complete freedom in the “Transmitter

control settings” menu and assign them to any function

input (see page 38) you like, as this method ensures

that the transmitter meets your own requirements

exactly. This also means that each of these transmitter

controls can be assigned to several functions simulta-

neously. For example, the same toggle switch SW X,

which you assign to an input in this menu, can also be

assigned as the On / Off switch controlling the “Timers”

in the “Basic settings” menu.

The basic procedure:

Select the appropriate input I5 … I6 using the arrow 1.

buttons cd of the left or right-hand four-way button.

If necessary, use the arrow buttons 2. ef of the left

or right-hand four-way button to switch to the desired

column.

Press the central 3. SET button of the right-hand four-

ay button, and the corresponding input ﬁ eld is high-

lighted.

Operate the transmitter control you wish to use, and 4.

set the desired value using the arrow buttons of the

right-hand four-way button.

Press the central 5. SET button of the right-hand four-

ay button to conclude the input process.

Simultaneously pressing the 6. cd or ef buttons of

the right-hand four-way button (CLEAR) resets any

settings you have entered to the appropriate default

value.

Column 2 “Assigning transmitter controls and

switches”

Select one of the function inputs 5 to 6 using the cd

buttons of the right-hand four-way button.

Press the central SET button of the right-hand four-way

utton to activate the assignment facility.

Now move the appropriate transmitter control (CTRL

7 to 10), or oper

ate the selected switch (SW 1 and 3).

Note that the rotary proportional controls are not detect-

ed until they have moved a few “ratchet clicks”, i. e. they

need to be operated for slightly longer. If the travel is not

sufﬁ cient for the transmitter to detect it, move the control

in the opposite direction.

If you assign one of the two-position switches, then this

control channel works like an On / Off switch. It is then

possible to switch to and fro between two end-point

values using this simple switch, e. g. motor ON / OFF.

The three-position switches SW 4/5 and 6/7, which you
