Re: Re: [Paparazzi-de =?ISO-8859-1?Q?vel] Forced Mode2 on ?= Condition

[martin]

Hi,

for now the idea is to have a (USB) joystick/gamepad connected to the
gcs computer that gives commands like setting an attitude (auto2.1) or
maybe more sophisticated like direction/altitude (auto2.2) to the
aircraft. This will be an addition to the classic transmitter PPM
control (hence auto2.x) which remains to have priority and be the main
source of control and trim.

Another interesting thing could be force feedback giving you info about
system messages or the aircrafts flight attitude.
