Robert Lefebvre 957cb094ea TradHeli: Remove unused RSC Mode 3. 2013-07-19 16:16:06 +09:00
Robert Lefebvre b4863dc997 TradHeli: Change to throttle controller to allow swash plate collective to move, even if disarmed, if we are in Acro or Stab. This is slightly dangerous... as a user could cause a problem if they do not follow the proper usage procedures. If they do not route the ESC through the APM, but instead direct to Rx. And then if they do not Arm, they could take off in Stab mode while disarmed, but then when they switch to Alt_Hold, it will drop the collective to the bottom and they will fall. This can be saved by switching back to Stab. And it requires operation outside of the normal operating procedure.
This change is being made because most heli users expect to be able to check the swash plate operation before arming and taking off.

Andrew Tridgell 0f72eae216 AP_Camera: removed 3 camera trigger types that do not work
the trigger by wp distance, trigger with throttle off and trigger a
transistor all don't work, and are not structured correctly, plus are
dangerous.

The existing relay support can (correctly!) handle the resistor case
without hard-wiring a pin. The "turn off throttle to trigger" idea is
badly broken, it would crash a copter if it worked. We can make it
work properly on planes if there is demand. As it was it didn't work
anyway. 

The triggger by wp distance method was broken, and had no way to
initiate a trigger anyway
