I have a turnigy remote relay I was going to use to turn the night vision mode on and off on my camera , but can't figure it out. I can either set up Accessory O to channel 10 on my taranis, and set it that way in librepilot. But when I test it with a buzzer, it just hums and the board gets an input error until I disable it. My second option is pushing the channels to the extra ports on my X8R receiver since I'm using SBUS. I bound it with the two jumper so it pushes 9-18 on the servo ports, but still no luck. I I've seen fixes for it, but I cant find it anywhere. Id rather be able to use the extra servo channels for possibly adding more controls, so that would be better for me. But hey, one step at a time, right? LoL! Thank for the help!!!

You can assign any channel input with a Accessory and next do a mapping Accessory to one output.
Same as lost buzzer:

Make sure that you have common ground of control side of Turnigy switch and power side of it. It will not work otherwise.

BUt what if i want to use 3 accesories, the cc3d has only 6 output channels.
For example: I want to use a switch for my leds, a switch to flip between cameras, and a knob to control the pitch of the gimbal.
As i see it, the only way is to use PWM, right?
-
The CC3D support up to 10 outputs.
If you are using other input type than PWM, pins are free for output use in receiver port.

That is very nice. Thank you for the information.

I have tried over and over again and it still wont work. I tried to setup the lost alarm buzzer coming out of channel 6 on my revo board, but still no luck. I am going crazy cause I cant find what I doing wrong!!! :-\

Maybe post your config file ?
File > Export UAV settings
-
Here's my UAV file. I want the relay switch on channel 5 on the board, and the buzzer on channel 6.

At least, you have assigned oneshot125 to bank3, and it must be PWM. Also you had bad max limit on output 9.
Please, try the attached settings.

I don't see a bank issue assuming Jack is using a Revolution board, banks are not the same for CC3D.

The problem is Accessory1 not calibrated, you can fix the min/max/neutral values using the same found in Yaw or simply redo the Tx Wizard or do a manual calibration.
The SBus limits are not the same as PWM input limits.
Here is what you have:

What you should have for Accessory1 :

My bad. I thought it was a CC3D.
He have to assign channel5 for relay switch too.
-
Or connect the device to output6 :)
-
Ok. I changed the values, and now the buzzer just puts off a low buzz all the time, and does not react to the switch. I know I'm not setting a value right somewhere, I just cant find it
-
Im a little closer! lol It now puts off a low buzz constantly, but it does get a little louder with the switch. I know its something simple. Thanks for all the help
-
Looks fine, Accessory1 and Accessory2 are mapped with Output5 and Output6.
Be sure the buzzer works, you can use the "Test outputs" option in Output tab and move slider for manual output value change.
Why all accessory neutrals are not set to middle ? If you do a Tx Wizard it should be all centered.
When you activate the switches, the accessory slider moves in Input tab ?
What kind of buzzer do you use ?
-
I am using just a standard lost model buzzer, not a lost signal alarm. I see the sliders moving, but I am still only getting a low buzz with a little louder buzzer with switch activation. I know it works because if I feed it from power instead of signal, it is loud as hell! I did a manual calibration as well

That maybe the problem...
You should use a PWM buzzer, this mean using 3 wires for ground, +5V and PWM signal.
This type of buzzer has a chip that receive the PWM signal and drive the small piezo speaker.
Seems you are using a buzzer that include a small oscillator and just need power (or not) for sound output.

Well that would explain why the buzzer doesnt work then! LOL! But I am still having problems getting the relay working. *bangs head against wall*

Have you changed the jumpers on the relay?
-
I went thru and reconfigured everything and it works great! Thanks for all of the help!!
