LED Strip + WolfPDB + Kiss FC v2 #23

Open karat74 opened 5 years ago

karat74 commented 5 years ago

Could you please help me find the way to have possibility of turning off/on LED strips connected to Wolf PDB using my Taranis QX7S switches or knobs? Setup: Wolf Reverb PDB OSD Kit rev 2, Kiss FC v2, TBS nano RX, TBS micro TX. Thank you.

Setup of the LED strip is only possible through the OSD menu currently, you can find more information here. You currently can turn them on/off with the arm switch.

awolf78, thanks. So there is nothing to do. (at least for the time being) :( Because this is not the best idea to disarm the quad during the flight just for turning off the leds.

+1 for having more options than just the arm switch. Dedicated Aux channel assignment would be great. Even better: multiple levels (e.g. 5 levels between 1000-2000ms)

1000-1199 1200-1399 1400-1599 1600-1799 1800.-2000

I can do something similar like I did with THROTTLE: You define two colors and depending on the AUX position (could be a switch or knob) it will calculate a gradient between those two colors (via euclidean distance). To turn off the LEDs during flight you can simply set (0,0,0) for COLOR1.

Advantage of this approach would be that you can assign AUX channels for each channel individually. Disadvantage is that you cannot turn off all the LEDs regardless of their assigned function. That would require an additional AUX channel setting for the LEDs. However this will cause confusion since you would have AUX channels available for the LED functions AND a global AUX which would shut the LEDs off. This is getting complicated, not a big fan of that. Trying to keep it KISS.
