How to set RC switch to control forward or backward

[lida2003 (Daniel Li)]

Hi

Right now I can control my Rover forward and backward.

And I fly copter with the same RC controller. So I want to use the throttle the same way as copter does.

Is there any way to set a RC switch properly?
a) switch off (default), throttle up from the bottom, speed up and move forward
b) switch on, throttle up from the bottom, speed up and move backward

Any idea?

It seems with RC mix function, it will do.

Turn on motor reverse with AUX channel

Hello friends. Is it possible to set up Ardupilot thus my motor change direction with a switch? What I mean is: I push the throttle up - my boat goes forward I push it down - the boat stops I move some aux switch down (let’s say channel 10) I push the throttle up - my boat goes backward I push it down - the boat stops and so on. I know that there are ESC exists with aux channel. Can I do it without it?

But I still didn’t get my TX12 works.

That’s how I have had my Rovers setup with a very simple mix on the Transmitter.

Switch SD is obviously forward/reverse. Nothing to it.
