I am not using an easystar and would like to refine my throttle parameters as I need a bit more ground speed to keep the plane in the air.
I found the CH3_MIN and CH3_MAX and will change it.
1-
However I am very confused about the following parameters :
// NOTE - The range for throttle values is 0 to 100
// NOTE - For proper tuning the THROTTLE_CRUISE value should be the correct value to produce AIRSPEED_CRUISE in straight and level flight with your airframe
#define THROTTLE_MIN 0 // (0-100) raise it if your plane falls to quickly when decending.
#define THROTTLE_CRUISE 45 // (0-100) Default throttle value - Used for central value.
#define THROTTLE_MAX 75 // (0-100) example: 70 = 56%throttle (lower this if your plane is overpowered)
How do you explain 70=56% ??? I found some old code that says that the value should 0-125 which then make send 70/125 = 56% but looking at the code it seems that the range is 0-100.
2- Keeping altitude
It seems that in FBW-B, my altitude seems to decrease constantly when I do not touch the stick. Is there anything that I need to do to avoid this ? The plane may not have enough speed but it does not seems to try to fight it.
Edit : I just realize that the GPS altitude is not so precise and the following parameters takes only the GPS altitude info by default
#define ALTITUDE_MIX 0 // GPS vs Pressure Altitude. 0 = GPS altitude, 1 = Press alt, 0.5 = half and half, etc.
the baro has centimeter accuracy which *should* be better but is there a reason to have zero by default for the MIX ?
Thx
