Change vTX Channel with ONE BUTTON! – A Technical Breakdown


This is a companion topic for our recent blog post on blog.unmanned.tech

In the world of FPV racing, efficiency is essential, and our latest blog post dives into a rather nifty trick: changing your vTX channel with just a single button press. Joshua Bardwell takes us through a step-by-step guide on setting up your EdgeTX radio to make channel switching smoother than a well-brewed cup of tea—no more fumbling about in menus like you’re searching for the remote.

This method requires a momentary switch, a compatible flight controller, and a pinch of patience, but the payoff is well worth it. By configuring a global variable that cycles through channels, you can avoid pesky interference during races. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to save themselves from a potential mid-air catastrophe over something as trivial as a dodgy signal?

Bardwell’s instructions are clear enough for even the most novice pilot to follow, ensuring you’ll be up and running without needing to be a rocket scientist. He also suggests documenting your settings—because losing track of those channels is a bit like forgetting where you parked your car in a stadium-sized lot.

If you fancy giving this a go, don’t forget to automate your goggles to keep up with those swift channel changes while you’re at it. It’s all about streamlining the experience, after all.
