Re: ACS758 Current Sensor

Thanks Rob. Do you have suggestions for something around 50-60A?

Re: redundant Fc?

I guess there are problems with FC such as code bug that causes infinite loop or RAM corruption that can lead to the reset if watchdog is enabled. We need in the future to be able to recover if the part resets . That might require some extra writes to EEPROM. On the other hand except the battery cir...

ACS758 Current Sensor

Did anyone try ACS758 as a current sensor?

Andras,

What is specific about Sik-Mw firmware? Do you have the description somewhere and source code as well?
What is different there comparing to standard firmware using non-mavlink comm type?
Thank you.

Re: Proposed modification to BOX Items Activation

I was trying to make it possible to select specific mode with the multiple switch combination. For example If I want to set GPS_HOME mode I need to toggle sw1 to pos 2 and sw2 to pos2 (just an example). In this scenario I would be able to have more switch combinations available. For example combinin...

Re: Proposed modification to BOX Items Activation

Actually there is required one more condition to check whether the conf.activate[i] > 0 in addition to mask, otherwise X & 0 == 0 always true. This approach helps with mixing but in real case it also prevents having one mode activated with different AUX level within one channel ... So might not ...

Proposed modification to BOX Items Activation

You can select in the GUI multiple AUX channel options to activate certain mode. It simply creates the mask in the conf.activation. The mode will be activated if ANY of the bits in the mask are true based on the following code: for(i=0;i<CHECKBOXITEMS;i++) rcOptions[i] = (auxState & conf.activat...

Re: I think computeRC() needs reevaluation.

Hello, I did this implementation a little differently. I considered using adaptive LPF filter with optionally Jitter filter. The idea is that if the change in RC channel is more than configurable threshold then we apply fast LPF (i.e. with coef 1/2) if the change is small (no moving sticks, just reg...

computeIMU() question

Hello, I'm looking through the code of the IMU and trying to understand few things. First in the main loop we execute tasks in order such as Mag, Baro, Gps, etc.. it's clear. Then when we do computeIMU() we read the most recent ADC data and calculate estimated Attitude. Gyro reading follows after th...
