Hi guys,
I
got the IR boards working, I replaced the low drift opamps in a static
free environment ( Wrist strap and mat )! On the XY board, neutrals
across the 2 axis vary a bit, one says 1.9 V and the other says 2.1V.
Is this OK? I have some questions regarding the IR sensors and Gyro
sensor settings in the funjet1.xml file. Since this will be installed
in a different plane, I'll have to tweak the settings.
<section name="INFRARED" prefix="IR_">
<define name="ADC_IR1_NEUTRAL" value="512"/>
<define name="ADC_IR2_NEUTRAL" value="512"/>
<define name="ADC_TOP_NEUTRAL" value="512"/>
<define name="LATERAL_CORRECTION" value="1."/>
<define name="LONGITUDINAL_CORRECTION" value="1."/>
<define name="VERTICAL_CORRECTION" value="1.5"/>
<define name="HORIZ_SENSOR_TILTED" value="1"/>
<define name="IR2_SIGN" value="-1"/>
<define name="TOP_SIGN" value="-1"/>
<define name="ROLL_NEUTRAL_DEFAULT" value="-2.5" unit="deg"/>
<define name="PITCH_NEUTRAL_DEFAULT" value="6" unit="deg"/>
<define name="CORRECTION_UP" value="1."/>
<define name="CORRECTION_DOWN" value="1."/>
<define name="CORRECTION_LEFT"
value="1."/>
<define name="CORRECTION_RIGHT" value="1."/>
</section>
In the above bit of code, what does the Neutral value of "512" signify? Why is it 512?
What
do the correction values mean? What does the IRx_SIGN signify? What do
the other variables mean ( roll and pitch neutral def, and the up down
left right corrections )?
Since the IR sensors are working OK, what would be by next
step? Can I go ahead and plug it into the Tiny and flash the APcode ( I
replaced the ap code with the tunnel for GPS prog )?
-Thanks, you guys are the BEST!
