[Paparazzi-devel] Funjet1.xml airframe software questions.

[Stephen L Hulme]

Hi

 

Help needed please.

 

1) Adding ~switch.xml to the settings conf.xml section does not activate the video when I am connected to ground and the auxillairy (switchable +5v) pin on TINY v2.11 camera plug receptor. The video on/off strip icons are not working

 

I know the camera and transmitter work because when I disconnect the serial wireless datalink it becomes fully functional while the board is still powered. But is not switchable.

 

I followed Martin's advice given on March 16 2009.:

For Tiny 2 adding settings/switch.xml in "settings" of your conf.xml
should do.

Is there another solution?.

 

 

2) I reversed the funjet1.xml command section as follows to get the surfaces moving in the right direction from the RC transmitter as set out here:

 

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

 

Unfortunately the throttle strip setting always reads the reverse of the RC transmitter throttle stick position and the actions of the motor.

 

Motor off stick towards me -100% reading. and vice versa.

 

Can I change this?

 

 

Regards
