I have updated to 3.7 under the latest build section for my quadcopter. OSD works under 3.7 but the ch 7 and 8 are grayed out in the extended tuning tree. So I went back to 3.6 under stable release, now channel 7 & 8 extended parameters are able to be changed but OSD is gone. I want to setup arm on a switch and unable to do so without a give take situation. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Devin
Flash back to 3.7-dev and then set the RC7_OPTION parameter to 41 for Arm/Disarm on chan 7.
That worked. Still relatively new to arducopter and mission planer, i’m sure I’ll have more questions.
Thank you very much!

You’re welcome. In some cases Mission Planner will lag development of Ardupilot firmware particularity when it comes to Dev/Master versions so you have to resort to wading into the Full Parameter List for configuration changes. So you are using an F405 Wing with a multirotor? Interesting, most are using that for planes. 9 outputs right?

I’m using f405-wing on a quad as are others I’ve seen around here. it’s a brilliant little FC for small dev quads as it’s easy to plug and unplug different hardware to the pin headers, it has loads of uarts/i2c ports, and it has huge BECs onboard for driving sensors and onboard computers.

I second that, simple neat installation and a quality board.
Also guaranteed genuine if you buy it from the list of Matek approved retailers.

Yeah, it has a ton of uarts, a beefy bec and i2c.

Decided to flash my inav matek f4 ctrMini drak over to Ardupilot. I don’t get the same option under rc7 for a switch arm. Any advice on this setup or should I go over to the ardupilot section of this forum?
@Devin_Tegen, I’m not sure I understand completely but I would recommend using Copter-3.6.0 (the stable release) which will allow defining the auxiliary switches using CH7_OPT, CH8_OPT etc. For Copter-3.7 the method for assigning the auxiliary switch function moves to the RCx_OPTION parameters.

Of course, you can go to 3.6, but there is no “OPTIONS” parameter, but I need it to use the r 9mm receiver. But there is no “AUTOTUNE” is there another solution?
