Config Servos

From Gluonpilot

The Gluonpilot configuration tool has a tabpage that let's you configure the 6 PWM-outputs. Those can steer servo's or a speed controller (ESC).

Servo neutrals

The 2 options how to configure the servo's neutral value are disabled. Only "Use manual mode neutral settings" is available. This is how it works:

Theory

• On startup, the module reads the channel-inputs from the (PPM or PWM) RC-transmitter.
• These values are the neutral values of the RC-transmitter's channels (needed in manual mode or stabilized mode).
• These values are mixed using the last mixing setup (Aileron, Delta, ...).
• This result is the neutral value for each output servo (for both autopilot and stabilized mode!)

Practice

• Power the module with the RC-receiver connected and configured, and your transmitter turned on!
• First fly the module in manual mode, use the trim on your RC-transmitter where needed.
• When the model is trimmed, cut power to the module, and then power it again (reboot).

Make sure to keep your transmitter's sticks in a neutral state when powering the module! When changing trim settings on your transmitter, reboot the module! When changing the mixing mode on the gluonpilot module, reboot!

Servo settings

Currently, only the reverso option per servo is available.

• Neutral values: as explained in "Servo neutrals - Theory", these are calculated at startup.
• Min/Max servo values: Should be 1000 and 2000. When this is not the case, click the "Default" button to load a default configuration to memory and continue from there.
