I want to remove AUX1 & 2 switch and install them on the back of the Tx. One push button to trigger the camera shutter and a switch to control 2 tilt positions.

Anybody did that modification before? I'm not good enough to weld on small boards. Is it possible to cut the wires (2) before the connector and use an after market normaly open push button?
It's a 2 position switch. I would guess only 2 wire are used?

no need to desolder the board. you would only need to cut one wire and use the momentary switch/button to close the circuit.

I'm just not sure witch 2 wires to cut!

6 pins are solder on the switch but since it's a 2 position switch, only 2 pins are really used.

I wish someone already did that mod before and can confirm witch wire to cut?

I don't have a spare transmitter.

I did find a solution thru machanical addition to my transmitter to trigger the camera shuttle without removing my finger from the left stick.
The electrical modification was too risky for my skills.
