Hello Brad,
so if i understand correctly, you are planning to use the Talon's internal gov... Switch B as Flightmode & Bank switch, H for Hold... so this means "Spektrum default switch layout". i am using that too since 'ever' and i did not have to change with Neo - Neo is supporting that too.
just some tricks in iX12 to do: here's how i did it (there are for sure other ways to - but it is working fine) and the screenshot below (of course with model NOT powered up first, and without blades later when testing setup) - and of course no guarantee for it
:
first step: set up default flight mode handling (Model Setup >> Flight Mode Setup): Switch 1: "Switch B", Switch 2 : "Inhibit", Hold Switch "Switch H" and be sure the bold orange box is under the 0 or 1 position you want to be the HOLD position ("1" in my case as Spektrum default, just check by switching "H" up/down). in this screen you could (later!) change the displayed flight mode names and spoken flight mode names too....
second step: ONLY if you want to change Gyro from iX12 directly instead of fixed in the Neo banks: in (Model Adjust >> Gyro) set Switch to "Flight Mode" and CHAN(nel) to "AX2" - this will be the channel used in Neo setup later - but again, just if you do not want the Gyro to be controlled by Neo banks.
third step: setup throttle curves (Model Adjust>>Throttle curve)... Switch = "Flight Mode". now setup your personal curves... Hold curve = 0 of course, N/1/2 = 30/70/etc as in your example. be sure to check all switch H (Hold) and switch B (Flight Mode) combinations to work as expected... else this could be really dangerous later on.
step 4: in (Model Adjust>Throttle Cut) configure your throttle cut switch if you like to.
step 5: check all your channel assignments (Model Setup>>Channel Assign), in my example i am using #9 Aux4: "Switch I" for rescue. add a channel for Neo Bank switching (i am using: #5 Gear: " "Switch B" ) and one additional channel (i am using: #8 Aux3: "Switch H" ) that will tell Neo (later in setup) Motor On/Off status - Neo will need it as you are using Talon directly controlled by iX12 throttle curves. so in my example there is no specific assignment for channels 1/2/3/4/6/7... as they are in default setup. may be different depending on your rescue channel assignment. (see iX12 screenshot)
so far for iX12 setup... i hope i did not miss too much - last time i did that was last summer
and my setup is a little different as i am using some additional functions/mixes for more throttle curves, autorotation training, etc. and i am using AR7700 w/ telemetry instead of sats. so im not 100% sure if channel assignments are 100% identical even they should.
now the setup of Neo needs to be completed... see the screenshot below (again: for my example setup):
Aux 2: should be <Gyro>coming in on channel #7. just check the box to use it, if you want Gyro to be controlled by iX12 flight modes (and set the channel as assigned). if you want Gyro to be controlled by Neo banks => let this option unchecked.
Aux 3: set it to #1 (throttle curve channel transmitted by iX12). this is where your throttle curves will be forwarded 1:1 by Neo and where you HAVE to connect your Esc for direct control by iX12. be sure to re-calibrate your Esc 100% / 0% after all is configured
Motor: use #8 as assigned before to Switch H. this will tell Neo Motor On/Off status and is required.
Bank switch: use #5 as configured in iX12 before.
rescue: #9 in my example... be sure to have the correct <Rescue> (-100?) and <Off> (0) setting as described in the help text in Neo PC software.
dont forget to attach Esc on Aux3. now check all is working well - there are maybe some channels (esp. #5 #8 #9) to be reversed or maybe servo travel to be adjusted.... can be easily done in (Mode Adjust>>Servo Setup). be sure to check failsafe and all settings to work as expected 10 times before attaching blades or even flying - i cannot be held responsible for my explanations here
good luck
Michael
nb: you've asked for a channel list too... that's the summary for the example above
#1: throttle
#2/3/4/6: roll/nick/tail/pitch
#5: bank switch
#7: gyro
#8: motor on/off status
#9: rescue
