I’m using a APM 2.5 with Arducopter firmware on a quadcopter. If you or using a gimbal the remaining radio channels can be used for that. Ch5 is for the 6 position switch in ArduCopter. If using ArduPLANE, that switch moves to channel 8!

CH2 may be reversed or not depending how you like the elevator. It may be revered by selecting reverse on screen 7, or -100 on screen 5.

In mission planner set my 6 position switch to: Stabilize, Auto, Althold, loiter, land, RTL.

Important! For the 6 position switch (ch5 ‘copter or ch8 ‘plane) your values may vary slightly. My numbers might get you close but you should double check in Mission Planner. Every radio performs slightly different even if it’s the same model.

Also featured is a wiring diagram for PPM. PPM is great for reducing the amount of wiring. Rangelink, EzUHF, OpenLRS are all good PPM capable 433MHz 1W systems. If you are unsure if your receiver is PPM capable then try the DSM2 selection on menu 1 of the 9XR and add a wire from each channel of the receiver (1,2,3,4,5 and so on) to the APM inputs.
