In this video we check out the multifunction buttons that are on all the latest FrSKY transmitters. On the X18, X20, and XE, there are 6 buttons at the bottom centre of the transmitter. On the TWIN X-Lite, there are 4 buttons, just below the screen. This video shows how this works on an X20. But it's the same on all the transmitters. With the X-Lite, you will have 4-pos, 4pos with off, 4 x 2 pos, and momentary modes. All the different button modes are explained. Plus, I show how to get 2x3 pos, 6-pos, and 6-pos with off modes operating on a single channel.

Did I miss something about the gimbals? They look tweaked. Plus great video.
Great tutorial ... as usual - many thanks!!!
Thanks. I’m glad it helped 👍🏻
Thanks once again Darren for an awesome video. I thought these would be useless, but now I’ve gained x6 on - off buttons! How good is that! Thanks again! 🎉😊
Glad it helped Steve 👍🏻
Good Stuff. Many thanks for all your videos. Very helpful, clear and concise.
I've used the 6-Pos switches for various head speeds (RPM) on Heli's every sine FrSky released the X20S. For iNav I've set up my X20S to work identical to the iNav fixed wing groups standard OpenTx model, however if using the 6-Pos switches it can be easily configured to the iNav's groups Pro OpenTX model.
On X18S transmitter there is no Var option under mix type. Cant find function switches under free mix.
Excellent video. Never knew how, now I do!
Glad to help JD 👍🏻
How do you say use one to swich your timer on and off
Thank you!
You're welcome 👍🏻
Can you make a video of naming switches for certain buttons like you did.. but show what each change does on the airplane?.. I watched this video but all these changing isn’t registering why I would use or need it!..
thanks buddy i feel that was amed at me ha ha
It inspired me to make it lol
There is no var option on my x20 pro Ethos 1.5.8
Hello Mr. Daran is setting up the archer rs plus rssi to read correctly in betaflight osd the same as if I were using open or edgetx. I’m using sbus on the receiver side and my transmitter is the twin xlite .
I would have never figured that out on my own. (I thought VAR was for vario or something 😊)
Yeah, it’s not the most intuitive name. I think it may be short for variable input or variable channel. But it’s especially confusing coming from OpenTX. Where variables are more variables in the computer programming sense.
Hey Darren, have you tried the “text to speech ” feature on your new X20 pro? Id love to hear your opinion /experience with it.
I’ve used it briefly. If I’m honest, I think at this stage it would be a good temporary voice. But for anything I hear a lot. I’d rather have a dedicated sound file. Hopefully the voice can be improved in the future.
@@MrD Interesting. Let's hope it's better with future updates. I appreciate the detailed reply 👍 Cheers

Thanks. Copy and paste mishap.
It would be nice to be able to select a particular function switch active at switch on
It won’t automatically. But you can set a warning in the checklist. So that a particular function button needs to be enabled when you power on or change to that model.
