IT’S MY PROPERTY – DON’T STEAL IT!
I own the copyright to this guide. All of the text was written by me and all of the screenshots were
taken by me so I own it all. In the past I have been burnt by people posting my guides to other sites
without my permission or just plain outright stealing the content and putting their own header info.
That’s right QueensHobby, I am talking to you.
I actively search for my guides and will politely ask for them to be removed but if I feel that I am getting
burnt, I will remove the guides completely from my blog in a heartbeat and then everyone will suffer.
So let’s be nice here and just link the guides back to my blog.
The guide is for personal use only by the end user to assist in setting up their transmitter.
The guide cannot be posted on any site.
The guide can only be linked directly to my blog.
Do not claim ownership of the guide in whole or in part.
I must get full credit if the guide is linked.

CUSTOM FUNCTIONS:
Custom functions, a.k.a. special functions, are used to define which switches can trigger certain
functions. One of these functions can be to play an audio file.
SETTING A CUSTOM FUNCTION TO PLAYBACK AN AUDIO FILE:
Before creating the custom modes in CompanionTX or on the transmitter, it’s helpful to write down the
logic of each logical switch as I have done below. This helps to visualize what each switch will do and
when. In the previous guide, I created several logical switches for my MadTorque rock crawler. These
logical switches were assigned to various channels.
