{{QUOTE|[[Image:Warning.png|18px|sub]] Never set any kind of swash mixing in your transmitter even when electronic mixing is required! Deactivate the swashplate mixing in your transmitter or set it to mechanical mixing (which is often called “normal“, “H1“ or ”1 servo“ mixing), so that each stick function only moves one receiver output channel. The swashplate mixing is all done by MICROBEAST PLUS!}}<br />

The color and state of the Status-LED shows the currently selected mixing type. To select the desired type tap the rudder stick repeatedly in one direction until the Status-LED lights in the correct color:

The Status LED is off in case one of the mixer parameters has been changed manually from the StudioX app. You can switch back to one of the presets anyway by moving the rudder stick but note that this will delete your custom setting!<br />

=Additional info: What swash mixing is required for my helicopter?=
=Additional info: What swash mixing is required for my helicopter?=
Today most helicopters use a 120° swashplate, i.e. all ALIGN T-Rex helicopters as well as SAB Goblin, Mikado Logo, MSH Protos and many more. Mechanical mixing was very common on Thunder Tiger Raptor helicopters and Vario scale or trainer machines but is getting rare today. The type 135°/140° (1:1) is the most common type of "140° degrees" swashplates. Often it is also considered as 135° swashplate! There is no uniform designation for this type of swash mixing. The main idea with this type of swashplate is to have an equal servo ratio on the elevator axis, which will remove the collective interaction due to unequal servo movement and in consequence will give a extremely precise control of the heli. If this is the case on your helicopter (elevator and aileron servos are moving the same distance when steering elevator) then choose this type, no matter whether it‘s called 135° or 140° swashplate. You can find this type of swashplate for example on Shape, JR and Hirobo helicopters.<br />
