Splitting radio-tuning and mode-settings from other params in the .param file #346

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
While testing some different configurations of PID's from other communitiy 
users it happened to me a couple of times i recognized the copter was not 
responding as I expected.

The solution was simple, I had accidently overwritten the settings of the radio 
channels and the fly-mode settings with settings from the other user.

I suggest to split these settings in general from the other settings, as well 
settings for the hardware onboard.

E.g. when I try a new set of PID's for loiter, I don't want to have my sonar, 
declination, battery-monitor, etc. overwritten, because I always test on one 
platform.

So for me it would be nice to have two sets of .param files.

The first one whitch contains the "hardware" related stuff, such as
Radio, Magneto, Sonar, Battery, Camera, Flight-Modes

and a second one containing all the PID tuning values for
Stable, Throttle, Loiter, Nav, etc.

Maybe a first approach to this could be some sort of "write-protection" to this 
values related to the hardware setup.

Marc

Old issue, but to me it seems to be a good idea, and I don't think it is 
possible today in MP 1.2.32 APM SW 2.9
