how to change controls on Spektrum DX6i?

[JensR]

Hi Travis!

> JensR I do appreciate the other views of how to do things.
Nothing more is my intention and if I learn something new, then all the better.

re: ESC and ground: Yup.

re: Your test
I don't understand that result...
Why would a fail safe system treat a broken ground wire differently than a broken power wire? Plus with the switch, it's not actually broken - it's just that one end of the y-cable's ground is not connected. Or the second servo's ground is not. Hm.
Could that be the problem? Floating ground?
Puzzling.
And disappointing.
This means that we cannot switch ESCs like this on the Spektrum, as cutting their power lead does nothing.


re: DX6: As agreed before, that's very elegant and he would know what each channel is doing as the deactivated receiver is in a known state, I think?
So, unless the receivers are very expensive - that's a nice option and even gives you 6x2 channels opposed to (6-1)x2.
Problem could be that he wants to run some lights with either model active? I don't do lights, so not sure how that would be set up.

Cheers
Jens
