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

[Felix Ruess]

Hi,

fyi: the zero-throttle & full-yaw arming sequence is from the standard
rotorcraft ap, not the BL-Ctrls...
Although e.g. for the quadshot there is no such arming sequence, you
use a switch to turn on the motors.

Cheers, Felix
