Hi guys,
Need a little bit of help.
Im currently trying to make my control surface on my Rite Zephyr II such that they are flaperons. Basiclly there are four surfaces, 2 on each side and with some searching in this forum i have managed to make them work as Elevons .
I have the inner board left and right elevons on CH1 and Ch2 of the APM2.5 output and the outer left and right board on Ch 7 and 8 of the APM 2.5 Outputs and i manage to get Ch 7 and Ch 8 to duplicate the CH1 and 2 with this few linees in the attitude tab of Arduino.
g.rc_7.radio_out=g.channel_pitch.radio_max.get()+(-1*(g.channel_pitch.radio_out g.channel_pitch.radio_min.get()));
APM_RC.OutputCh(CH_7, g.channel_pitch.radio_out);//send to servos
g.rc_8.radio_out=g.channel_roll.radio_max.get()+(g.channel_roll.radio_out-g.channel_roll.radio_min.get());
APM_RC.OutputCh(CH_8, g.channel_roll.radio_out);//send to servos
So now im stuck at how to add some lines to make them become a 2 position flap when i flick my Aux 2 switch. Prefably Ch1 and Ch2 works as normal flaperons but Ch7 and Ch 8 should go in the opposite direction(like spoilers) while still maintaining my pitch and roll control when activated.
Some suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Rusydi

Hi Rusydi,
No sure if it's any help but the Bluelight BL-3GRC Gyro/controller supports flaps and flaperons on the flying wing aircraft with the v2.0 s/w. You can download the PC set up tool, and user manual even if you don't have the gyro - from here. You can see page 22 of the user manual and also the mixing tab of the PC set up tool.
