Yes, the transmitter fail safe was active, but it was fixed at 20%, not at 5%.
Throttle channel values from gluonconfig are: min 1108, max 1931.
At power-up the transmitter was turned on. If it is not turned on, the motor will not start, just beeps.
After turning off the transmitter the gluonpilot does not change the mode (it will remain in manual/stabilized/autopilot as was specified before the transmitter was turned off) and still shows RC on green with 100%.
I then disconnected the RC receiver from the gluonpilot and on the GCS the RC turned white and showed 0% (so it shows the link state between receiver and gluonpilot, not the link between the RC receiver and transmitter).
After turning off the transmitter fail safe (Futaba T6EX) the motor behaves as follows:
- if in manual mode the throttle remain where it was when switching off the transmitter;
- in stabilized mode - same as manual;
- in autopilot mode the throttle is controlled by the gluonpilot as specified in the navigation program.
