GG Recoder for genuine Rand with 'cycling' Throttle control
Posted: 28 Jul 2019, 16:59
This has been on my mind so instead of going flying its done, & working fine.
The Rudder & elevator functions are unchanged, same mark/space and rate response as always, but now a third channel input controls the bridge as follows:
Channel 3 > 1650uS equivalent of full tone, bridge held one way
Channel 3 neutral (+/- 150uS) normal mark/space and rate operation
Channel 3 < 1350uS equivalent of no tone, bridge held the other way.
Ideally of course you need a sprung-centred channel, or an "up/down" toggle or buttons, otherwise you have to remember to manually centre it.
Connections are rudder P0, elevator P2, throttle P4, and the output is on P1 - so its the same as the existing recoder with just the addition of the P4 throttle input. Note that the throttle input needs to be a self-neutralising function, not a conventional friction 'throttle stick'.
