Failsafe and OpenLRS

Hi

Got failsafe to work perfectly with my Futaba 7C and 617FS. At signal loss it circled for 20 seconds and then come back in RTL-mode.

But now I switched to OpenLRS and cannot get the thing to work. I have configured failsafe on the OpenLRS RX so it centers all rudders and sets throttle to 0%. Channel 3 shows 1100 uS when radio is on and throttle off (full throttle is approx 1900 uS). When the radio is powered off I get 945 uS on channel 3. This value is well below THR_FS_VALUE.

THR_FAILSAFE = 1
THR_FS_VALUE = 975
FS_LONG_ACTN = 0    (do no want to abort mission in auto mode)
FS_SHORT_ACTN = 0  (do no want to abort mission in auto mode)

Everything looks ok right? But when AUTO-mode it switches to MANUAL when I switch off the radio!
Mission is aborted and it just circles downwards without any power.

Can the OpenLRS failsafe function override APM from taking over?

Thanks,
Jesper (getting a bit desperate) :)

    Changed the code on the OpenLRS RX so it only changes channel 3 (throttle) to the saved failsafe value. Works fine now.
