7.8.2 App control via RC channels
Figure 7.8.2 Default app control via RC channels settings
The App control via RC channels button in Advanced Configuration will take you to the
above screen. This lets you change how the app operates in response to the PWM channel
values on the radio. Unfortunately, the app doesn't get these directly from the radio
controller, instead it listens to MAVlink messages from the flight controller that contain the
values, so there may be a bit of latency and loss of link will prevent these from working.
These settings are saved on the tablet, so if you change these, you'll have to change them
on each tablet you use. The options are:
Pitch/yaw gimbal wheel:
Which channel the app should watch and convert into gimbal
rotation speed commands. A value of 1000µs means max rotation speed up/right. A
value of 2000µs means max rotation speed down/left. There is a 40µs deadzone
centered around 1500µs.
Max rotation speed:
How many degrees per second the gimbal should rotate at when the
gimbal wheel is fully deflected.
Toggle gimbal axis / recenter gimbal momentary button:
When this value goes from
below 1300µs to above 1700µs, then back down in less than 1 second, the app will toggle
whether the wheel controls pitch or yaw. If the value stays above 1700µs for more than
1.5 seconds, the app will recenter the gimbal for as long as the value stays above
1700µs.
