AfroMini32 PPM to Servo (Baseflight)?

Post by crashlander »

I'm trying to use AfroMini as simple PPM to PWM converter, but after switching to that mode nothing works.
I can see RX PPM input in GUI but nothing gets to servos (except 400Hz midpoint).

Any tips how to set this up!

I'm not sure it works at all with the new servohandeling in BF.
I guess you will have to buikd a custom servomixer.

I have made a tool to build the mixers for windows.
It's explained in my howto with link to the program.

The latest version is here.(might be unstable yet)

And a tip on servonumbering.
Servo 4 in the tool is servo 1 on NAZE if i remember correct.
The three fist outputs is N/A.
4 =>1 on Naze
5 =>2
6 =>3
7 =>4

Just select RC_xxx or AUX# as source.

Thank you Patrik.
I actually wanted to use simple PPM to PWM option due its basic simplicity of haveing all the settings in TX (and receiver far from other components).
But I'll do cmix if other options are off.
How to disable/enable ONLY_ARM_WHEN_FLAT option in BF.

set small_angle = 25
Only arms if angle is smaller than 25 degrees.

180 should disable completely it i think.
