I wanted to share some tweaks I have done to with two switch arming and PID adjustments with my taranis and Betaflight.
The way I have done it is based on Joshua Bardwells two switch arm but with some small modifications:
First, my taranis is slightly modded where I have removed the SF and SG switches and moved SE to SF position. The reason for this is that SE and SG is in the way for my fingers the way I hold my transmitter. That was the reason why I didn't like the Taranis in the first place, now I love it! I didn't remove the switches completely, I just taped them up and fastened them inside the transmitter.
TWO SWITCH ARM
I use two switches to arm my quad because I don't want to arm my quad unintentionally. This has happened to me before as I had just one switch to arm and it was too easy to flip the switch by accident if I had to do something like bending over to look at something or whatever. I'm sure you guys see the picture.
The way my switch works is that the throttle have to be at 0. Then I put my SD switch in the down position (up is down on the taranis as most of you already knew) and then I activate and hold the SH switch (the spring loaded switch) for 0.5 sec.
As you can see in the picture below, channel 5 (AUX1) is my arm channel. When the Logic switch L14 is low then ch5 is low (-100), and when L14 is high then ch5 is high (100).
In order to get this working, we will need to add some logical switches to the taranis:
L14 is the guy that controls arming/disarming and is high when L12 is high, and low when L13 is high. This is a sticky switch so it will hold it's high status because L10 is a pulse which only activates L12 for 0.1 sec.
L13 is high when the switch SD is in the up position or middle position. This is so that I'm able to disarm the quad.
L12 activates L14 as mentioned before and it is activated if L10 and L11 are high.
L11 is high when the throttle is at zero. this is done so I can't arm ifI have some throttle applied.
L10 is a 0.1 sec pulse which is activated if switch SH is held for more than 0.5sec and if switch SD is in the down position.
Here is a video where I demonstrate how it works:
