Heli pre-configuration

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

It will help may people if You fill for example second model configuration
with config for heli 120 deg CCPM.

It will be enough to create configuration for second model during eeprom
restore after re-flash.

I suggest that you name 2-nd model like "Heli_120" and add mixer like that:

CHAN1
- THR 100%
CHAN5
- RUD - 100%

and swash plate mixer: (CCPM 120 deg, 2 servos on front /chan3,4/,one read
chan 2) 
CHAN2
- ELE 72,00%
CHAN3
- ELE -36,00%
- ALI 62,35%
CHAN4
- ELE -36,00%
- ALI -62,35%

It should be enough to fly simple heli (i'm not sure about chan numbers).

That config helps people which don't know anything about trigonometry with
fast start ;) In addition You can write that Your software supports "heli
CCPM mode" (we know of course that is support it before too)

Good idea,

Perhaps its useful to offer a preset button like in the curves menu.
with this button we could offer some usual standard cases like

- Standard plane (with retractable landing gear)
- several helis (CCPM 120, and other)

But one big problem is the undefined assignement of heli/plane functions to the 
radio
channels. An auto generated preset configuration would use fixed channels and 
the
user had the big job to reedit any mixer lines to find the really used channels

Perhaps a simple channel assignment wizzard could help, but i have not yet a 
good
idea how to design this.

Hello Thus,
probably You want to overdo things.
A simple heli config like you proposal on rcgroup will be fine.
Use channels, as it was in original software.
main rotor:
  #1 and #6 for front servo, #2 for rear
thr #3
rud (tail) #4

That should be fine. If someone wants, then one can use it without 
modifications.
Others can see that heli setup is posible and how to do it. 

In addition please add a chapter in documentation about this ("how to configure
mixers for a helicopter").
I think that will be enough.

Best Regards
Rafal
