Emergency Stop Motor Auxiliary function

Hello,

is there a way to use the Emergency Stop Motor auxiliary function using a separate switch? a switch that it is not on the Transmitter since it could be accidentally activated.

best regards

I can think of one way. There is a mavlink command to terminate flight. It shuts down the motors.

MAV_CMD_DO_FLIGHTTERMINATION (185 )

[Command] Terminate flight immediatel

You can program your RC transmitter to require 2 switches to be changed in order to terminate the flight.
This ads the extra safety that you want.

Is this possible on the Herelink RC. I’ve read some articles that suggest it’s limited to only programing a single button with PWM and cannot be configured this way?

Hi Amilcarlucas, can you explain to me how you can program 2 sw on the receiver to terninate the flight I am new in this field. I have an opensource RC…A radiomaster.

We have done that on the Radiomaster configuration file that we shared on the Methodically configure and tune ArduCopter Blog Post. Look at the RC receiver section.
