THROTTLE_SLEW_LIMIT

Hi everyone,

 

from what I understand, this parameter will increase the throttle value slowly as required up to my throttle_max setting, rather than going instantly to throttle_max when switching from MAN to AUTO, right ?

 

i used

#define THROTTLE_SLEW_LIMIT 10   //default 0 - deactivated. now it is 10% per second

in my code, but it has no effect (on the bench)

 

after switching from MAN to AUTO, the throttle servo moves immediately (from one update to the next) my throttle_max value of 0.6

 

i was expecting the throttle to increase in 6 secs (setting THROTTLE_SLEW_LIMIT 10) from idle to throttle_max

 

am i missing something ?

 

thanks and regards,

wolfgang

  • Hi,

     

    I am not a programmer, but I ran a search for "throttle_slew_limit" through all APM-files and noticed it is not used in the code. This explains, why it didnt work :)

     

    Then I downloaded the ArduPilot-software to check and noticed that in the ArduPilot-software it is coded.

    Why is this feature not used in APM?

    too heavy on the resources because of the timer?

     

    regards,

    Wolfgang
