R/C Failsafe Information

[Acetronics2]

Hi, Daniel

IF signal lost ...

Pulsin returns:

1) with glitches : value outside the 0.8 / 2.2 ms range. ( some can be inside this range ...)

2) without glitches : ... 0 is returned. see Manual for use of "Define Pulsin_Max".

With some little brain storming, failsafe works really fine !!!

nice and relevant example ... isn't it ???

Not sure what system you are using, but on my spektrum 2.4Ghz, the fail safe settings (stick positions) are set when binding the receiver to the radio.

If in the event the receiver loses the signal - it moves the servos to the fail safe position (as set when bound).

I'm using the stock AM 27Mhz radio from Traxxas. It doesn't have a failsafe built in.

And, I already have a Duratrax failsafe on my truck, but I wanted to research a little more to understand how it works.

I mean, I'm not planning to replace a $20 failsafe that works great! But, it would be nice to know how to make one and "see"' the inside magic.
