Hello everyone,
I am building a large hexacopter (680mm+) with DJI Naza M V2 FC, DJI iOSD Mini, FrSky X8R Receiver, 600mW vTx and a Taranis Q X7 Transmitter. I have also installed a Retractable Landing gear to the frame. I am using the D16 mode on the receiver with an S-BUS connection. Can someone guide me how I should setup the retracts?
I managed to operate the landing gear up and down using a spare 3 position switch on my transmitter. (Setup on Channel 10) But I am wondering how to connect that to failsafe. My requirements are:
If the FC enters failsafe mode (by either switching off the transmitter, engaging failsafe switch or transmitter loses range) retracts should be deployed.
When the hexa reaches 2 meters altitude, retract should go up and below 2 meters it should come down.
The 3-position switch I am using should be set as "Gear Up", "Gear Down" and "Auto". Can we do this and how?
Can I set this all up using logical switches? Please explain how. Is there any way we can read the GPS altitude info on OpenTx?
I apologize for asking too many questions in one post.
But would appreciate if anyone can guide me or give some pointers.
