PPM Encoder MUX Switch modifications

Posted by Hardy Maxa on February 19, 2011 at 3:00pm
3689390466?profile=originalAfter my RPM sensor additions to the PPM Encoder, it seems my MUX switch for enabling/disabling the Autopilot is not working.  Some testing with a proportional channel (Throttle) revealed the MUX channel mid value to be about 2800, which is where I have set the RC_MUX_MAX now.  The previous value of 1250 was too low for detection.  Not sure whether my RPM mods had an impact, but the new settings seem to work fine.

If you're interested, the new PPM encoder project with RPM measurement, including the .hex file, is attached to this post.

And here's a picky of the Heli static display at our local club's public display held yesterday at Hastings foreshore.  I'll upload the other photo soon on the clubs web site (www.wpmac.com.au).


My heli is on the right with the ACM connected - prompting a few questions from onlookers and members alike.  The green coloured box sitting on the muffler is a fibreglass crashproof box for the Ardupilot.  I'll provide some details on how to make one in a later post.


 


Now - On to the Heli code.
