since ver 2.0.27 i never can't set auto-trim level.(arming 20sec). on last ver is work well
my qc always drift to back.
but if i use manual level (disarm 10sec) its can work.
any idea?
How does a failsafe work in terms of microcontroller programming?
What modules in the microcontroller are involved.. I want to implement it on my own hardware..
cheers!
