Document RC Modes #233

Open ES-Alexander opened 3 years ago

ES-Alexander commented 3 years ago

Joystick RC transmitter control modes are mentioned in the setup page but not described at all. Would be helpful to document, particularly given Sub tends to have different control axes than normal flying vehicles (thanks to having direct forward and lateral thrust).

User can see which way each joystick axis controls the ROV by the Lateral/Forward/Yaw/Throttle sliders.

This link may be a useful reference, basically replacing throttle with vertical, elevator with forward, ailerons with lateral, and rudder with yaw:

RC (TX) Mode Left Stick (vert / horiz) Right Stick (vert / horiz)
1 Forward / Yaw Vertical / Lateral
2 Vertical / Yaw Forward / Lateral
3 (default) Forward / Lateral Vertical / Yaw
4 Vertical / Lateral Forward / Yaw
