Fine tuning using CH6

Posted by Marooned on August 23, 2012 at 10:41am

I've tried to setup my APM2 to use in flight fine tuning as described here.

I've picked CH6_RATE_KP from dropdown, set Min as "0,000" and Max as "0,500". I've also set CH6 as a POT3 on my 9x radio.

The problem is that this Min and Max is not scaled to full range of possible channel value. I can only get Min or Max. Nothing in the middle. Threshold is more or less in the middle. My Er9x shows -0.6 or close to that as a value when RATE_P is switch from "0,000" to "0,500".

Am I missing something?

    maybe the comma is the problem?  maybe try to make it "0.000" to "0.500"?

    I should probably start a new thread but there is no place to post Mission Planner issues (is there?).


    Just found that in Configuration > Standard Parameters > RTL Approach Altitude - info says to set it to "0" to land, but the minimal value is "1". There is no way to set it to "0".

    Have you calibrated your tx inside the planner?
    Go to the "channel monitor" in the planner and check the ch6 value when moving the pot.
