FLIGHT_MODE_CHANNEL #159

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
FLIGHT_MODE_CHANNEL should *NOT* be made a variable.

This setting is critical to the function of the autopilot. There is only one 
condition under which this setting should or could change and that is if the 
user knowingly moves the receiver input channel to a different input on the AP 
board. Making this value variable opens the door to loss of control or loss of 
aircraft either through improper setup or inadvertent reassignment.

If ease of setup is a concern, it is easiest to simply say channel X is the 
flight mode channel and have users plug their flaps channel into that. For 
those who do their own programming, we know enough to change the config 
accordingly.

Should probably be pulled from the setup menu.

Moved to a Define in Config for now. 1-8 based, not 0-7
