Connect the right drive ESC to RIGHT, and left drive ESC to LEFT (observing polarity).
Mixed Mode: Connect FB to ELEVATOR (CH2), LR to AILERON (CH1), and INV to GEAR (CH6) (or
whichever is convenient).
No-Mix Mode: Connect FB to ELEVATOR (CH2), LR to THROTTLE (CH3), and INV to GEAR (CH6) (or
whichever is convenient).

To not use the invert function, simply leave the single INV wire unconnected. To later use it, power must be
cycled after the connector is plugged in.
Invert can also be used to make the back of your robot into the front. For example, if you want to attack
with the rear wedge instead of the front weapon.
Some large or cheap motors can send electrical noise along the signal wires. Add a 0.1uF capacitor across
each motor's terminals to keep the tinyMixer from seeing this noise as false signals.
Operation:
Ensure transmitter stick and trims are centered when powering on. These are recorded each session and
used for the Invert function.
• To activate Invert, move the INV channel above 70%.
Normal Driving: Led solid-on
Inverted Driving: LED flashin
Signal loss (failsafe): LED slowly blinking (1 short flash per second)
Switching between Mixed/No-Mix mode:
• The tinyMixer is shipped in Mix mode by default. It can be switched between Mix and No-Mix (two-stick,
aka "Tank") driving mode. (Invert can be used in either mode.)
• With the LR wire disconnected, push the stick to the top and hold (the LED will flicker). After 4 seconds
the LED will blink repeatedly to indicate No-Mix mode, or go solid for Mixed mode. The robot's power will
now need to be cycled to reboot into the new mode. (Don't forget to now plug in the LR channel).
