Cleanflight - changing Mag orientation
Hi guys, Had a long long break from Quads but started flying again these past few days and decided to revisit an old problem of a Flight Controller. I bought on of these 32 bit STM32F103CBT6 Kcopter Flight Controllers that were always pretty poorly supported; m understandably so as they were chinese...

@hamburger
Just mentioning it in case it has some relevance to the code change proposed.
Need to see if we can get mwc failsafe to kick in regardless of how the spektrum failsafe is setup.
Just checked and the first method sends last known signal.
Second sends stick position when bound.

it is in the code already. You can attach LED strips (togehter with the buzzer) to the BUZZER pin (may need a transistor to feed 12V). That gives you flashing LEDs in 3 different frequencies for the 3 VBAT warning levels - and for the capacity (mAh) warning, should you run the powermeter. Only thin...

You can set up failsafe in the config.h.
