Title: Trouble Configuring Accessory 4 and 5
Post by: 647982 on November 29, 2016, 03:57:15 pm

I'm using PPM input with 12 channels. But on the GCS I see only accessory 0 to accessory 3 under the input channel configuration. How can I associate accessory 4 and accessory 5 with any of the input PPM channels(or basically make them useful)?

Thanks

I don't know if we support 12 PPM channels.

There are only 4 Accessories.  System -> Settings -> ManualControlCommand -> "all"

Thanks for the quick reply.

I saw them in 'Gimbal' and TxPID' tabs as 'Input Channel/Control source' and in 'Vehicle->Custom->Type', and so was wondering if they could be utilized.

It is odd that they're on some of the tabs but there doesn't seem to be any way to set them up.  It's probably something that someone either forgot to add 4 and 5 to the input tab or forgot to remove them from the other tabs.

I've created an issue in Jira about this so that sometime in the future they can be added to the input tab or deleted from the other tabs.

I'm hoping that would be getting added than subtracted:)

Accessory4 and 5 are free internal accessories to be used with waypoints for example.
