[Paparazzi-devel] Turning on/off motors on Lisa/L octocopter

[Simon Wilks]

Hi

I do only have two of the eight motors connected to the mkk board at the moment and wanted to see if the motors basically work and rotate in the right direction before proceeding. I spent a couple of hours trying to get the motors to activate which seemed to happen now and again by chance. Or so I thought ;)

It seems that the motors first need to be activated by holding the yaw stick all the way to one side and then the motors start up in idle. Pushing them all the way to the side again turns it off. Really? I know I have seen other types of copters getting armed this way but don't recall seeing anything mentioning this with Paparazzi...oh...is or is the BL-Ctrl? It took me a while to find out what the arming trigger was.

Thanks,

Simon
