Quadrino AUX3

[nhadrian]

Hi,

I have a Quadrino board used in a mini hexa-x.
I have now A0_A1_PIN_HEX defined and RCAUXPIN8.
So how it works with AUX1 and AUX2 and hexa configuration.
But I would like to use the AUX3 input too if possible.
Could anybody help where to connect and how to enable in the Multiwii code? I'm using the dev_20120219.

Here is the shematic, green is connected now, red pins are on free pins on the panel somewhere (easy connectable):

Another small and interresting thing with hexa config:

Since r569, and with dev_20120219 now on, when the hexa is powered on and the transmitter is powered on too, the 5 and 6 motors (which are connected to the A0 and A1, sometimes makes a small thick during idle.
Just like motors would start for a microsecond. But they don't start fortunatelly. When flying, I can't see anything like this.
But when only hexa is powered on and transmitter is off, this doesn't happen, even for many minutes. I think this is a small BUG since the r569.

OK, I think D12 would be the solution.
Could somebody help activate AUX3 input on D12 port in dev_20120219 code?

Any input?

Just for testing purposes, I tried to define RCAUXPIN12 instead of RCAUXPIN8 and I got some compilation errors in Arduino.
So there is somethingbug in the code I think. I tried with dev20120225 and dev20120219 too.

I use pin 12 as aux2 with 0219 without any problem.

Hi,
It is possible, but not with the current code because we make the assumption there is only one more pin to deal with:

/* this ISR is a simplification of the previous one for PROMINI on port D
it's simplier because we know the interruption deals only with one PIN:
bit 0 of PORT B, ie Arduino PIN 8
or bit 4 of PORTB, ie Arduino PIN 12
=> no need to check which PIN has changed */

A full implementation is possible.

Hi,

many thanks for reply, so not as easy as I thought.
