Lua script for arming/disarming quadcopter

Ground Control Software
1

Hey all, I have created a Lua script, that tries to recieve PWM from channel 5 of the transmitter, on detecting any change, it arms or disarms the quadcopter, depending on its initial state. Is this possible to do with ArduCopter? I haven’t tested it out yet, as we do not have our ESC’s and motors with us, but it would still be helpful if y’all could help.

Here is the code

control_var=rc:get_pwm(5)
function update()
    
    if (control_var ~= (rc:get_pwm(5))) then
        if arming:is_armed() then
            arming:disarm()
        elseif not arming:is_armed() then
            arming:arm()
        end
        c_var=rc:get_pwm(5)
    end
end

Any advice on syntax error/logic or flow would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Your script never calls the update function, so it will not work.

But why not use RC5_OPTION 153?
