	The STorM32 controller supports a rich set of different signal sources, such as PWM, sum-PPM, Spektrum or S-Bus, analog signals, and buttons and combination of buttons. Any possible input data stream is called an input channel (in firmware v0.~~67e~~ there are 38 input channels). ~~The~~ value range is -500 ... +500, which implies that the original data of the input source is converted such as to fit into this [-500,+500] range.

The STorM32 controller supports a rich set of different signal sources, such as PWM, sum-PPM, Spektrum or S-Bus, analog signals, and buttons and combination of buttons. Any possible input data stream is called an input channel (in firmware v0.96 there are 42 input channels, see picture below). For each input the value range is -500 ... +500, which implies that the original data of the input source is converted such as to fit into this [-500,+500] range. By default every input channels yields a value of 0, unless it is explicitly activated by attaching it to any of the functions in the GUI.
