Hello all,
I have made a very minor modification to my AQ6 board. i have added a second reset switch, soldered in parallel to the original. It is so i can reset the board in the field without the need to remove the plastic dome that prevents me getting to flight board, and it was always a little tricky using the original switch.
My new switch is located next to my receiver now and the cables connecting it run along with the s-bus lines connecting the AQ6 to the reciever.
It all works great, however it has occured to me that should there be a problem with my mod, i could end up having an accidental reset in mid flight. Not good on a 8kg hexa.(or anything for that matter)
I am happy with the soldering work i have done and the switch is one i removed from an old alexmoss gimbal board, so should be ok.
What i was worried about was some possible interference on the cables connecting the switch? I was hoping someone could give me there opinion? Is this safe, or a terrible idea!
I should also explain the need for my mod- I am using menno's Hott firmware and using the ESC calibration he built into it(very usefull).I am using t-motor esc's. The calibration works great, however i often get an issue when powering my hexa that the esc's don't initiate properly, and i have to do a reset to get the esc's work.
What i would really like is the ability to do a reset from the android ground software, but as far as i know this is not possible. It is possible from my pc, but i dont take that flying with me...
All advice ,or opinions would be appreciated..
