Understanding mixers

Channels are usually directly controlled by a potentiometer or a switch, via their ICT and ICN variables.
For flying wings and V-tail planes however, mixing elevator/ailerons with rudder potentiometers is required.
Or if your ordinary plane tends to climb when accelerating, you can mix some throttle into the elevator channel.

The software implements 2 programmable mixers for each model.
Each mixer has 2 inputs, which are attached to different potentiometers.
The software averages the values of these inputs using user-defined coefficients, and sends the resulting value to the related channels.
A channel is controlled by a mixer instead of a potentiometer or a switch, by setting its ICT=3 and ICN=the mixer number (1 or 2).

Mixer 1 variables

• N1M1: potentiometer number of mixer's input #1, potentiometer number belongs to the interval [1,8]
• P1M1: percent mix applied to N1M1, signed percentage [-100,+100]
• N2M1: potentiometer number of mixer's input #2, potentiometer number belongs to the interval [1,8]
• P2M1: percent mix applied to N2M1, signed percentage [-100,+100]

Mixer 2 variables

• N1M2: potentiometer number of mixer's input #1, potentiometer number belongs to the interval [1,8]
• P1M2: percent mix applied to N1M2, signed percentage [-100,+100]
• N2M2: potentiometer number of mixer's input #2, potentiometer number belongs to the interval [1,8]
• P2M2: percent mix applied to N2M2, signed percentage [-100,+100]
