Hi all,

Does anyone know how to use all 14 channels using LB and Futaba 14SG? I cant seem to map DG1 and DG2 channels using Lightbridge.

Thanks alot.

DG channels are digital and I do not believe that you can assign them as usable channels

Hmmm...using a Futaba receiver you can get all 14 channels, i wonder how to do it with Lightbridge. Tahoe-ed?

I have never been able to make it work.  If you figure it out let me know.  Theoretically, lightbridge is capable of handling 16 channels.

I think I know but will try and see if it works.    I'm going to set the DG 1 to  shutter and DG 2 go home  since  both are a switch I betting that I can set the switches. Also might be able to use the shutter switch to open the shutter or close. Will try this out and see if it works.  Too late tonight but will get to by weekend.

HI Here is what I did to get 12 channels. I have not tried the DG1 or DG2 since I do not need the extra two channels
1.  Double tap the SYS  on the T14SG and scroll to Trainer Page 4 change the mode to 12 channels
2. I set the  channels this way;
CH1 J1 Aileron
CH2 J2 Elevator
CH3 J3 Throttle
Ch4 J4  Rudder
CH5 - Gear (retracts)       Switch SF
CH6 -VPP    IOC                Switch SD
CH7 -AUX4  "U"                Switch SC
CH8 -AUX1  GO HOME    Switch SA
Ch9 - AUX2 Shutter         Switch SE
CH10 - AUX5 PAN            Switch LD
CH11 -AUX3  TILT             Switch RD
Ch12 - AUX6  Mode         Switch SG
double check to make you sure you have a ll the AUX numbers different for each function. Then go to the LightBridge Assistant, connect your TX and Ground station  and then connect to the laptop or CPU and map your channels from your TX to the LightBridge 1 ground station. This should get you working. I have not tried to use the DG1 or DG2 but may play with that at a later date. Hope this helps

and as a reminder or tip, when you use an Sbus decoder it has 16 channels...since LB uses 1-8 then you start the additional channels on the decoder with channel 9-16...if you look closely at my video you can see the space where 1-8 doesnt have a wire...make sense?
