m2h_fix_type only in disarmed state?

[r0sewhite]

I just rework the Mav2HoTT Sketch a little to match my expectations of LED signalling and wonder, why GPS 3D fix will only be indicated in disarmed state. Doesn't m2h_fix_type output anything in armed state or is there another reason for not permanently indicating the GPS status?

Correct, thats what I made it do.
In disarmed state the led frequency will indicate fix or no fix. That is simply to tell you to wait.
In armed state, it will tell you when you go into altitude hold/pos hold. In alt hold the leds will have a different pattern or color (when using intellileds) than position hold. Thus indicating fix or no fix because dix is needed for anything above altitude hold.

But if you want, the sketch can be easily adjusted by yourself to also make some pattern when armed but I personally did not see the reason why I would want that, I keep the AQ grounded until solid fix.

Hi Menno,

thanks for your reply. I just wanted to make sure that m2h_fix_type is also working in armed state so I can modify/add some signalling events.

Since 3D fix can get lost during flight due to natural circumstances, I prefer to always have it indicated.
