I am working my way through the bench testing and have setup the RC links to the gluonmodule. I have a couple of questions which I would appreciate some help with
( 1) I find that when I power the module up from cold and run the config tool it runs as far as initiating the telemetry task. Then it does not transmit anything until I have pushed the 'load default' button to start the telemetry upload. Once I do this the data starts to flow. This applies whether I am using the direct wire link or a wireless connection - I don't understand why I have to do this. This below is the snapshot from the data input stream in the tool

**** now it waits until I push the 'load default' button ***********

(2)Secondly, I can't figure out which channel is driving channel 7 on the RC input page. I have 5 channels from the RC receiver and none of them move the channel 7 indicator. The reading is the same whether the RC receiver is connected or not. Is this a channel I have to configure ? The other channels (1-5) respond as I move the sticks on the transmitter.
Any help and suggestions much appreciated .
