# Motor Failure testing Lua script
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This script allows testing failure of motors on copter and quadplane (VTOL only). Vehicles with eight or more motors should be able to fly easily with a single failed motor. Hexacopters can also cope with motor failure if they have sufficient thrust.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Motor failure is triggered by a RC switch configured to option 300 (Scripting1). Switch low all motors will run, switch high will stop motors.
|
||
|
|

|
Configure which motors stop with the param MOT_STOP_BITMASK, this is added by the script so will only show up once the script is loaded on the SD card. The parameters is a bitmask of motors to stop. A value of 1 will stop motor 1, value of 2 stop motor 2, a value of 3 stops both motors 1 and 2.
