Camera trigger and manual tilt pass-through?
Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2014 7:39 pm
Hi everyone
I've finally been making some progress with my X8 and AQ. I had a successful test hover this afternoon – there's no zinging and it seems to fly like it's on rails
I would like to rig up a servo to test that the manual tilt passthrough and camera trigger passthrough are working correctly, but I've come unstuck ... As you can see from my planned schematic for the avionics:
I wanted to use channel 7 for the manual tilt and 11 for the camera trigger. However, now that I've actually come to test it, the software won't allow me to assign either of these channels as they are both shared with motor timers!
Am I right in thinking that for this to work I will need to use 13 and 14 for the tilt and trigger pass-through channels, and move the Front Right Bottom ESC connection to either channel 7, 10 or 11?
Why can't ESCs and other PWM-driven devices be run from the same timer? You can run 2 motors from one timer?
Many thanks for your help
David
