Hi Jeti,
setting up fail safe positions is a kind of nightmerfa using the provided functions.
I wish there was a more interactive way to setup the positions.
basically we need to differentiate between a hold and a preset position.
To get this done in a second I would recommend the following process:
- Enter the failsafe option (in the device manager)
- Click on "set fail safe position" (might be a new function) The microprocessor should now record all servo positions when the button is pressed.
- Move the sticks to the desired position and click on a button labelled "Store" (or similar). Now the µC should compare the before / after positions of each channel. If the deviation is less than 2% (or similar) the channel should remain in "hold" mode. In case the deviation is bigger use the final position as new fail safe position.
I think if you add this feature more people would work with fail safe position. At the moment it is just too complicated to handle that properly. Just imagine a glider with 8 flaps and "Butterfly" as failsafe postion. A nightmare to setup (including elevator correction). Just a second with the suggested procedure.
Best regards, Merry Christmas and a sucessful and healthy 2015
