-- This script is a useful tool when first setting up a heli. You can use it to dial in the IM_STB_COL_2 and -- IM_STAB_COL_3 parameters in a more intuative way. It is meant for use with a transmitter that has two pots -- available. 1 Pot can be used to control the gradient of the line between the 40% and 60% curve points. Use -- this pot to adjust the sensitivity of the collective about the collective midstick. The 2nd Pot then controls -- the value of the 50% point on the curve. This can be used to set the collective position to aid with hovering -- at the midstick. -- Tested and working as of 25th Aug 2020 (Copter Dev) function update() local rcin_50 = col50_val_ch:norm_input_ignore_trim() local rcin_grad = col_grad_ch:norm_input_ignore_trim() rcin_save = save_switch_ch:get_aux_switch_pos() -- Offset starting midstick curve value to get new value -- Max = +30% , Min = -30% local im_50 = (value_im_3 + value_im_2) * 0.5 --(%) local delta_50 = rcin_50*30 im_50 = im_50 + delta_50 -- Scale rcin_grad to be between 0 and 1 rcin_grad = (rcin_grad+1)*0.5 -- Calculate delta due to gradient local grad_40 = rcin_grad * -10 --(%) local grad_60 = rcin_grad * 10 --(%) -- Calculate param values local im_40_pct = im_50+grad_40 local im_60_pct = im_50+grad_60 -- Ensure IM_STB_COL_2 < IM_STB_COL_3 if im_40_pct >= im_60_pct then im_40_pct = im_60_pct - 1 end -- Ensure IM_STB_COL_2 and IM_STB_COL_3 are withing appropriate ranges im_40_pct = min_max(math.floor(im_40_pct),1,98) im_60_pct = min_max(math.floor(im_60_pct),2,99) -- Enforce that IM_STB_COL_1 < IM_STB_COL_2 local im_0_pct = get_im_val('IM_STB_COL_1',false) if im_0_pct >= im_40_pct then -- Correct within parameter limits im_0_pct = min_max(im_40_pct - 1,0,97) -- Set correct value to prevent pre-arm warnings set_save_param('IM_STB_COL_1',im_0_pct,false) end -- Enforce that IM_STB_COL_4 > IM_STB_COL_3 im_100_pct = get_im_val('IM_STB_COL_4',false) if im_100_pct <= im_60_pct then -- Correct within parameter limits im_100_pct = min_max(im_60_pct + 1,3,100) -- Set correct value to prevent pre-arm warnings set_save_param('IM_STB_COL_4',im_100_pct,false) end -- Save params only if switch active if rcin_save < 1 then -- just set 40% and 60% parameter values set_save_param('IM_STB_COL_2',im_40_pct,false) set_save_param('IM_STB_COL_3',im_60_pct,false) else set_save_param('IM_STB_COL_1',im_0_pct,true) set_save_param('IM_STB_COL_2',im_40_pct,true) set_save_param('IM_STB_COL_3',im_60_pct,true) set_save_param('IM_STB_COL_4',im_100_pct,true) -- Set script exit condition script_status = COMPLETE end -- Reschedule foo, sched = script_cont_stop() return foo, sched end -- Get parameter value and perform checks to ensure successful function get_im_val(param_name,disp) local value = -1 value = param:get(param_name) if value >= 0 then if disp then gcs:send_text(3, string.format('LUA: %s = %i',param_name,value)) end else gcs:send_text(3, string.format('LUA: Failed get %s',param_name)) script_status = false end return value end -- Prevent parameters from being set out of range function min_max(value,min,max) if value < min then value = min end if value > max then value = max end return value end -- Standardised function for stopping or continuing function script_cont_stop() if script_status == HEALTHY then return update, 500 elseif script_status == COMPLETE then gcs:send_text(2, 'LUA: IM_COL tune complete') elseif script_status == NORC then gcs:send_text(2, 'LUA: RC channels not set') else --FAULT gcs:send_text(2, 'LUA: IM_COL setter stopped') end end -- function for setting and saving parameter function set_save_param(str,val,save) if save then -- Set and save if param:set_and_save(str,val) then gcs:send_text(2, 'LUA: params saved') else gcs:send_text(2, 'LUA: param set failed') end else -- Just set if not(param:set(str,val)) then gcs:send_text(2, 'LUA: param set failed') end end end --- -- -- Initial Setup --- --- --- -- Script status levels FAULT = 0 NORC = 1 HEALTHY = 2 COMPLETE = 3 script_status = HEALTHY -- Set RC channels to use to control im_stb_col params col50_val_ch = rc:find_channel_for_option(300) --scripting ch 1 col_grad_ch = rc:find_channel_for_option(301) --scripting ch 2 save_switch_ch = rc:find_channel_for_option(302) --scripting ch 3 if (col50_val_ch == nil or col_grad_ch == nil or save_switch_ch == nil) then script_status = NORC end -- Get im_stb_col parameter values and store value_im_2 = get_im_val('IM_STB_COL_2',true) value_im_3 = get_im_val('IM_STB_COL_3',true) -- Only continue running script if healthy foo, sched = script_cont_stop() return foo, sched
