In the points between the waypoints, the value is zero. == duration of the WP-Event == The duration of the active WP-Event value is the duration of the Waypoint-Waiting time. Also there is a setting on the SD-card of the NC (SETTINGS.INI), that sets the minimul time: * MIN_EVENT_TIME = 2 (Default is 2 seconds) * that can be used if wou don't want to wait on the waypoints, but the WP-Event must be active a longer time = Assign an output on the FC = There are two possibilities. * Channel assignment * Output pattern timing on digital Output 1 == Option 1: Channel assignment == [[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php/v/tech/WP-Event1.jpg.html|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=137174}}]] * You can use the WP-Event as an Channel input and assign it to a Poti * This Poti can be used for a Servo Output for example * So, the Servo would move into a specific position on the waypoint and will stay in that position as long as the WP-Event value is active == Option 2: Output pattern timing == [[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php/v/tech/WP-Event2.png.html|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=137178}}]] * You can directly assign it to the output as timing for the blinking pattern * The Option "combine with WP-Event" must be selected * If you also assign a Swich there (Poti6 in this picture), that switch would dominate the output: * Switch in 'on' Position (100%) -> the output is in active ON state and not affected by the WP-Event * Switch in 'of' Position (0%) -> the output is in active OFF state and not affected by the WP-Event * Switch in 'middle' position -> the output timing is set by the WP-Event value (for example WP-Event = 6 means, the ouput pattern will have a timing of 0.06sec per bit) = showing the WP-Events in the logfile = [[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php/v/tech/WP-Ausloesungen.png.html|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=136780}}]] * The WP-Event value is recorded in the logfile. * you can show it with the SimpleGpxViewer = Testing the WP-Event value = {{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=137180&g2_serialNumber=1}} {{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=137182&g2_serialNumber=1}} There is a "hidden feature" fo a test purpose of the WP-Event (in your case the field with the name of that parameter would remain empty - please don't care) You can simulate the WP-Event-Value on your desk without flying on the field. * in the MAP-Window of the KopterTool make a right-click on the word "Mode" * a small window will appear there you can select an ID and a value * use the ID 6 with a Parameter -> that will simulate a singe WP-Event; just as if the WP-Duration (and the Setting on the SD-card) would be zero * use the ID 7 with a parameter -> the WP event will be active until you would send the value "0" or zse the ID 6 to clear that simulated WP-Event value /!\ please don't use the other IDs - they have different options for testing purpose = Example = * We want to trigger a camera by a mechanical servo or a ShutterCable 4 times on the waypoint * We want to use the blinking pattern * We want to simulate that on the ground '''settings FC''' [[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php/v/tech/WP-Event_Pattern.png.html|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=137190}}]] '''Simulate the WP-Event''' {{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=137180&g2_serialNumber=1}} * connect a * mechanical servo on the ServoOutput 3 of the FC * a ShutterCable to OUT1 of the FC * Use the ID6 to simulate the WP-Event with different values * See what happens to the Servo {i} Notes: * If the waypoint duration in flight is longer than the Blinking pattern needs for one turn, the blinking pattern starts again from the beginning. * If you just want one singe turn, choose the Waypoint time (and MIN-Time-Setting on the SD-Card) short enough * Example1: select only the first bit of the blinking pattern and set the WP-Event value to "100" - the Output will be only active for one seconds (in the next 7 seconds the blinking pattern will output just the LOW-Signal without affect) * Example2: select 11001100 of the blinking pattern and set the WP-Event value to "50" - the Output will be active for one second - waits a second and will be again active for 1 second <> ----
