Hello Everyone,
I need you to make clear a few points about radio failsafe, I am resuming an old post where I have already carried out this topic but I need to get more insights.
I am using the following configuration:
- Taranis Frsky X9D+ as transmitter
- Frsky X8R as receivier
- Pixhawk as Flight controller with latest firmware 4.0.2
I have followed a few pages on the web and this is what I have done:
- set the transmitter failsafe mode to receiver
- set the receiver failsafe mode on option 2, as expained on its manual, and in this arducopter page. Option 2 means "no-signal method"
- Set Radio failsafe on mission planner.
Insights:
-
is it right to set the trasmitter failsafe mode to receiver? There are other options such as Hold, Custom, No pulses. I feel to have picked the right choice but I need you to share your opinion about it.
-
The wiki page states: when a radio failsafe is triggered if the copter is disarmed no failsafe will take place. I have to disagree with this statement since The Red Text Failsafe got displayed in the monitor. Do you get the same issue?
-
The parameter FS_THR_VALUE is used only for the “low-throttle method”, is it right? Since I am using the “no-signal method” this parameter can not be considered, do you agreee? is there a value which disables this parameter?
-
As to FS_THR_ENABLE parameter I have Enabled Continue with Mission in Auto Mode (which is Deprecated in 4.0+), the wiki page tells to use FS_OPTION, actually I have not understood how to configure this parameter, do you have any tips?
