Key Features
3-axis gyro-based stabilization.
WING mode mixing (single aileron and flaperons).
DELTA mode mixing.
VTAIL mode mixing.
CPPM mode.
throttle and flap channels pass through in CPPM.
gyro-based attitude hold.
configurable mixer limits to prevent servo binding.
stick-based configuration for options.
EEPROM storage for configurations (can be reset through jumpers on bootup)
LED flashes for status and errors.
RX calibration during startup to determine neutral stick positions.
IMU calibration during startup to remove sensor offsets.
AUX channel controls master gain linearly from 0% to 100%
AUX channel also controls RATE and HOLD modes
VRs on RX3S control axis gain and direction.
DIP switches on RX3S control the mix mode.
HOLD mode for attitude hold
stick-controlled rotation rate in HOLD mode, optional in RATE mode
inflight RX calibration to reset RX neutral values
PID parameters adjustable through program box
stick position controls gain, which prevents overcorrection or "fighting" commanded stick movement during
manoeuvres.
allows side mounting on flat fuselage foamies (by rolling 90° left or 90° right and then mounting to the
fuselage side)
optional AVRootloader to allow firmware update without usbasp ISP.
use pre-built firmware or build your own from the source code.
support the AQUASTAR or DLUX programming box
note that some features are currently only in the dev/beta image.
