TX16S Example

Here is an example setup connected via SBUS or PPM where tilt roll and pan will end up on Channels 8, 9, 10 at the receiver.

Enable Trainer

You must enable the trainer input from your Models setup page. This will be able to see the TRx inputs in the next steps. Use Master/Jack if connected via PPM port. Use Master/Serial if connected via SBUS.

Connect to the board with the configuration GUI. Set the the output channels 1, 2, 3 in the GUI

Set the Head Tracker GUI to output Tilt, Roll and Pan on Channels 1 2 and 3 using the drop down boxes.

Remember to save the settings before unplugging your board.

Trainer Inputs

When EdgeTx has it's trainer feature enabled and it's receiving a signal it stores the values in variables TRx. Since we setup the HT above to output on 1,2,3. The corresponding channels will be TR1, TR2, TR3.

Go to the mixes page in model setup

Why do this in mixes, rather than inputs?

For simplicity. As a head tracker it's unlikely your going to need to mix in two input sources. Just skip the extra step.

Now we select the channels where you'd like to connect your servos on your models receiver. For instance, I have connected the following servos in the receiver.

  • Tilt: Channel 8

  • Roll: Channel 9

  • Pan: Channel 10

On Channel 8, the input TR1 is selected, which corresponds to the Tilt output on channel 1 we selected earlier in the Headtracker GUI.

Always Setup a Failsafe Switch

Under the mix set the switch option and direction. In the above example Channels 8,9,10 will only send the data from the Head Tracker's trainer output if switch SB is in the UP positi
