[Paparazzi-devel] Funjet airframe software questions.

[Stephen L Hulme]

Hi there

 

May I ask for some answers to what may seem stupid questions to some before I commit my aircraft to the airwaves.

 

1) : I have embedded a this camera and transmitter in the wing root of a Multiplex funjet and have added conf/settings/switch.xml to the GCS switch strip.

 

Will I need to add:

 

# Video switch
ap.CFLAGS += -DUSE_GPIO
ap.srcs += $(SRC_ARCH)/gpio.c

 

taken from GlassOne #1 Tiny V1.1" to the conf/airframes/funjet1.xml makefile to operate the switchable 5 v Aux pin on a tiny 2.11 board.

 

2): What is the logic for employing different throttle/motor settings for different funjet frames? For instance

 

airframe name="Funjet 1 Tiny 2.1">

<!-- commands section -->
  <servos>
    <servo name="MOTOR"         no="0" min="1000" neutral="1000" max="2000"/>
    <servo name="AILEVON_LEFT"  no="2" min="1130" neutral="1500" max="1880"/>
    <servo name="AILEVON_RIGHT" no="6" min="1980" neutral="1515" max="1170"/>
  </servos>

and

<airframe name="FunJet GFI 1 Tiny 1.1">

<!-- commands section -->
  <servos>
    <servo name="THROTTLE"      no="2" min="1550" neutral="1550" max="1900"/>
    <servo name="LIGHT"         no="1" min="1000" neutral="1000" max="2000"/>
    <servo name="AILEVON_RIGHT" no="5" min="1900" neutral="1432" max="1100"/>
    <servo name="AILEVON_LEFT"  no="6" min="1100" neutral="1546" max="1900"/>
  </servos>

And if it's to do with tiny versions are there changes I need to make for a tiny 2.1.1 board.?

 

Just in case it's important I am using a Futaba T7CAP and intend to use conf/radios/T7cap.xml.  

 

3): Can I replace tiny_ 2_1.h with tiny_2_1_1.h in conf/airframes/funjet1.xml

 

Thank you in advance

Regards
