6.1.3.3 Specific configurations for fixed wing aircraft
As the FlightZoomer autopilot for fixed wing operations relies on the Auto mode, the following settings are required:
|
Parameter |
Value |
|
Description |
|
MIS_RESTART |
0 |
|
0 means that missions are resumed after activating Auto mode and not restarted. |
For failsafe FlightZoomer relies on the ArduPlane GCS failsafe mechanism:
|
Parameter |
Value |
Description |
|
|
FS_GCS_ENABL |
3 |
|
Possible values: 0 = Disabled; 1 = Heartbeat; 2 = HeartbeatAndREMRSSI; 3 = HeartbeatAndAUTO Failsafe condition, needs to be effective for FS_LONG_TIMEOUT seconds to trigger GCS failsafe.
Using the value 3 (= HeartbeatAndAUTO) means, that RTL is only triggered, while the FlightZoomer autopilot has control. |
|
FS_LONG_ACTN |
1 |
|
Possible values: 0 = Continue; 1 = ReturnToLaunch; 2 = Glide; 3 = Deploy Parachute
The action to take on a long (FS_LONG_TIMEOUT seconds) failsafe event.
Using value 1 ( = ReturnToLaunch) the RTL mode is activated, if the MAVLink heartbeat is interrupted for more than FS_LONG_TIMEOUT seconds. |
|
FS_LONG_TIMEOUT |
10 |
s |
10 seconds after the flight controller would stop receiving heartbeat messages (from the Cockpit-app via the telemetry system) the flight controller shall switch to RTL. The user can choose other values for the best tradeoff between the expected length of communication drops and the duration which can be risked flying unattended. |
