○
Log Frequency - The Flight Log (black box recorder) can record at different rates as of V1.1.1 at
5hz, 10hz or 20 hz. Pre version 1.1.1 only 10 hz is available. The default log frequency is 10
entries per second. At 10 hz the flash memory can hold over 6 hours of flight time (when in
safety or armed). Setting to 5 hs will approximately double the time available. 20 hz will be
approximately half the time. In all cases the ShootyChutes dashboard will indicate the log space
available, and how many flight logs are currently recorded. (Version 1.0.30 and later)
○
Terse Logging - If selected the detailed Flight logging is suppressed to save log space. However
if triggered the previous 100 log events are written to Flash, then the trigger details. This
allows many more flights to be made before the log fills up.
○
Auto-Erase - If enabled when the log memory is full the lSATS-MINI will automatically erase the
log on upon power up.
●
Power On in Safety Mode - Use this to cause the SATS-MINI to always power up in Safety / Armed
mode. This makes sure the SATS-MINI is always ready to protect your drone even if the SATS-MINI is
disarmed after use. We recommend this feature if enabled is used along with Altitude based safety.
(V1.0.30 and later)
Tools - Device Setup - Channel Settings Details
The SATS-MINI supports many virtual channel features. These include:
●
Output Trigger - Output activated to eject the parachute or for Flight Termination
●
Input Trigger - Input for an external trigger signal to eject the parachute
●
Input Safety Override - Input used to assert the Safety state
●
Output System Status - Output that signals when the SATS-MINI are in a specified operation state.
●
Input Flight Mode Selector - Allows an external input to cause the SATS-MINI to select either of two
completely independent sets trigger conditions. This is useful for VTOL aircraft where there are two
distinct modes of flight being vertical take off (multi-copter) or forward flight (fixed wing).
All inputs and outputs support PWM signal type. Also supported are DC level types.
Inputs and outputs during startup
All IO pins will float during device startup (tri-state). If during this time you want to make sure a pin is held high
or low use an external 1K resistor to pull high or low. Once the SATS-MINI is active outputs will be immediately
driven depending on configuration.
Input’s one active have passive 10K pullups and unless driven low will otherwise float high.
