Be careful when choosing the values. Use proper values for your UAV and
application. Using improper parameter values may cause the parachute to fail from
deploying as well as unwanted deployments.
Configuring the DRS via MAVLink
Since the MAVLink parameter protocol is implemented in the DRS, you can configure the DRS
using a GCS like Auterion Mission Control or QGroundControl without the need to manually
edit the configuration-file "config.txt" on the DRS's SD-card. The parameters
, however, must be set correctly in advance to establish the MAVLink
connection. The DRS configuration parameters can then be accessed in
