Transmitter setup

Steering

Regular transmitter have two joystics.

Flight MODE switch

A important requirement is a three way flight mode switch to choose between the flight modes MANUAL, AUTO1 and AUTO2. More modes are possible

Cheap entry level radios often don't have this. As a workaround two two-position switches can be used.

The switch designated to RADIO_MODE will switch between MANUAL and AUTO And a second switch designated to RADIO_AUTO_MODE one will select between the different AUTO MODES if the first switch is set to AUTO.
