{{DISPLAYTITLE: How to setup transmitter and perform function assignment|noerror}}

===Setting up a separate switch channel for AttitudeControl===

In this example we use a Futaba T14SG with R7008SB SBus receiver. The procedure is basically the same on all types of transmitter systems. For this type of application it is mandatory to use a system with singleline receiver output like SBus, SRXL, SPPM or Spektrum remote satellite signal.
