ArduPilot Parameters are Taking Out of Range Values

Hi,
I am trying out setting ardupilot parameters in SITL with mavproxy. I am setting parameter values for RC1_TRIM. I see that I can set floating values to the parameter though it is supposed to be an integer and also, I can use value that is out of range like 18000 though the range is between 800 to 2200.

Can anyone please explain if this is a bug or I am missing something?

Thanks,
Sayan

You are responsible for setting the parameter within the valid range.

But if you really want, you can also set it outside of the range.

It is your responsibility

MissionPlanner will warn you (and maybe QGC does too) but the checks for every parameter cannot be built into the firmware because of the available space.

ArduPilot methodic configurator also warns you, but let’s you set outside of the valid range if you really want.
