Pixhawk throttle fail safe issue

Posted by Colin Sadler on April 27, 2014 at 2:16pm

When I disconnect my RC input from the pixhawk my throttle does not drop, it stays at whatever i left it at. So now if it comes unplugged during flight it's going to fly away.

Does anyone have info regarding this?

Thanks,

Colin

You can test failsafe only in armed without battery, only usb.

  Thanks for this info, I am used to the APM and the new PixHawk I have did this and wasn't until I read your post about being armed with battery that it worked.
  Thanks.

  Was the APM different than the pixhawk for this? I tested it last night with it armed and everything functioned as it should. I thought in the past i tested the APM the same way but maybe i used the USB for that.
