Flight modes: SW1 switch and SW2.
The Flight Controller allows for advanced control of how the FARMEYES behaves when flown. There are two switches
SW1
and
SW2
that work together; understanding these switches and their action can greatly improve the user experience.
What does each of the flight modes do.
Manual:
Does not use GPS to assist flight, wind can shift the FARMEYES off course. In manual can achieve the most
the highest speeds (at a cost to altitude) for more aerobatic manoeuvre’s. Flight in manual mode is high risk as you have
full and direct control of the FARMEYES without safety factors found in other flight modes.
Advanced notes:
Manual allows the throttle to rapidly reach 100% to 0%.
Warning
: 0% Throttle in Flight will stop
Rotors in flight at severe risk of damage or injury to the equipment or people.
Direction Lock:
Maintains the forward/backward, Sideways left & right moment to be the same orientation as the
original Forward facing direction of the FARMEYES at start up.
Note:
This mode will not work with GPS assisted flight modes in other words when the SW2 switch is set to 1 or 2
(GPS modes) the Position lock will be disabled.
Note:
Direction Lock can potentially disorientate the operator to make miss actions and direct the FARMEYES in
directions not intended. Ensure the machine has additional clear space surrounding as a safety margin.
