Last week I had a touch time trying to set the proper throttle failsafe PWM value. The default is 975 and i wanted to set it to 1030 . I put

#define THROTTLE_FS_VALUE 1030

in the APM_config.h and uploaded the code, but in the Setup>Show i still saw the old 975 value.

I then checked the EEPROM ( through APM Planner ) and saw that there the value was set to 975. A

I was subsequently unable to find any way to edit the EEPROM Throttle FS value and even though i tried to reset the board, I was not able to clear the value in the EEPROM ( I could only view it, but not edit ) 

Then, i noticed that in the new release of APM Planner, they gave the ability to edit the value of this . I was able to do it and got things to work, however this raised 2 doubts : 

1. What if I want to edit other values in the EEPROM which are not editable in APM_Planner ? Or am I dependant upon the APM Planner to manage the EEPROM ? 

2. Does the EEPROM value always override the config ? 

Thanks much !
