16. Free mixers
The COCKPIT SX M-LINK (from V1.20) has a total of 8 ad-
ditional free mixers, which can be found in the mixer menu
under "Controller mix" and "Servo mix".
The mixer settings can and must be made separately for
each flight phase.
Make absolutely sure that your model motor does not
start inadvertently; thoroughly check all mixers and
settings before use!
Both mixer types are set up identically. To use, first
select mode, input (source), output (target), and if desired
a switch for activating the mix. The line behind the switch
name indicates the switch setting which activates the mixer.
The mixer has the following possibilities:
· "Off" mode - the currently selected mixer is deactivated.
· "Mix" mode
The input is mixed with the output, using the three-point-
curve, the extent of the mixing and the effective direction
can be influenced.
· "Overwrite" mode
The original signal at the output is completely replaced with
the input signal. Using the three-point-curve, the extent of
the mixing and the effective direction can be influenced.
If "Overwrite" is set at the same output in several mixers, the
mixer with the higher number always has priority.
The function of the "input" constantly remains unchanged,
the mixing result is effective on all servos which are con-
nected directly or via mixer to the "output".
Controller mix
Using the 4 controller mixers, operating elements (e.g. aile-
ron, elevator, rudder, ...) can be mixed with each other. The
mixing result is effective on all servos which are connected
with the controller entered under "output".
Example: Controller mix - "Overwrite" mode:
If, for instance, the throttle is to be operated using a switch
(e.g. AUX3) instead of the joystick, set the controller mixer
as follows:
Example: Controller mix - "Mix" mode
If, during knife edge flying, your model swings over the
aileron axle, you can create a Knife edge flight mixer:
Set the mixer as shown in the image, move the rudder joy-
stick to the full deflection positions, adjust the aileron reac-
tions by changing the three-point-curve.
If the model also swings over the elevator, an additional
controller mixer can be created. Select input rudder, output
elevator, adjust the desired elevator reaction by changing the
three-point-curve.
