Default Help with tilt control-Alesmos board

Ive been going nuts trying to figure out how to program in the tilt function on my TBS discovery. I do not have the Pro so I was able to mount a custom 3D printed gimbal and purchased an alexmos board for control. I've installed the latest firmware and GUI. I am using my DX8 pan knob (aux 1) in an attempt to tilt my camera up and down. My problem is that instead of the tilt motor turning, I am controlling the roll instead. I am running the ground and signal straight from my reciever (red power unplugged), notfrom the Naza F2 port. In the diagram below, I have my ground wire connected to ground (top) and signal to the pitch PIN (middle) but it is still controlling the Roll. I tried swapping the signal wire to the lowest pin (Roll) to see if maybe it was reversed but with no luck. Is there an option in the GUI to swap the two? Any help would be appreciated as I am really getting discouraged. One photo below is from CNChelicopters website showing which pin is for what and the other is my actual board.

Thanks!

Troy

You need to run all 3 wires from the reciever to the pitch control on the board ,if your knob is controlling roll already both left and right ,just plug a servo wire into aux1 one then to the pitch control on the board
