Title: Automatic servo parachute release failsafe
Post by: mkschreder on April 15, 2016, 12:33:56 pm

I want to configure failsafe to activate a servo upon signal loss, but only if armed and in flight. Is there a built in way to configure something like this or do I need to modify the source code?

Hi, welcome

Assign a Accessory input to the servo output (Vehicle tab)
Like here for a buzzer:

Go to UAVOBrowser tab and look at ManualControlSettings > Failsafe settings

And set the Accessory value when failsafe occurs.
Be sure the failsafe is working fine, some receiver still sending a valid signal and flight controller cannot know the signal is lost.

Also consider you can got a brief failsafe and regain control while the parachute is released....
