Figure 35: Switch for RC/autonomous mode
1. First make the sure that the
Bind Jumper
is placed in the
Bind Jumper
Holder
position and not
in the
Bind Jumper
position (i.e. the position next the remote radio receiver).
2. Then the mode switch has to be set to the
RC
position as shown in Figure 30. Afterwards a
LED right below the switch will turn on.
3. After setting the switch correctly, you need to reset the Arduino next to the switch by pressing
the
Arduino Reset
button. After this reset, the speed controller will initialize.
NOTE: When setting the Mode to
Radio Controlled
all the actuators commands from the Arduino and
from ADTF are ignored.
