# EFI Halo6000 Driver
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This driver implements support for the Halo6000 generator for hybrid
|
||
|
|
multicopters, using CAN protocol.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Parameters
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The script used the following parameters:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## EFI_H6K_ENABLE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
this must be set to 1 to enable the driver
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## EFI_H6K_CANDRV
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This sets the CAN scripting driver number to attach to. This is
|
||
|
|
normally set to 1 to use a CAN driver with CAN_Dx_PROTOCOL=10. To use
|
||
|
|
the 2nd scripting CAN driver set this to 2 and set CAN_Dx_PROTOCOL=12.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## EFI_H6K_START_FN
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the RC option to use to monitor start control. This should be
|
||
|
|
set to one of the scripting RC options (from 300 to 307). Then an
|
||
|
|
RCn_OPTION should be set to the same value. When this switch goes high
|
||
|
|
the generator start function will be sent to the ECU. When this switch
|
||
|
|
goes low a generator stop will be sent. A value of 0 disables the starter
|
||
|
|
control.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## EFI_H6K_TELEM_RT
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the rate in Hz at which NAMED_VALUE_FLOAT messages are used to
|
||
|
|
send additional telemetry data to the GCS for display to the operator.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Operation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This driver should be loaded by placing the lua script in the
|
||
|
|
APM/SCRIPTS directory on the microSD card, which can be done either
|
||
|
|
directly or via MAVFTP. The following key parameters should be set:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- SCR_ENABLE should be set to 1
|
||
|
|
- EFI_TYPE should be set to 7
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
then the flight controller should rebooted and parameters should be
|
||
|
|
refreshed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once loaded the EFI_H6K parameters will appear and should be set
|
||
|
|
according to the parameter list above.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The GCS will receive EFI_STATUS MAVLink messages which includes RPM,
|
||
|
|
and temperatures.
