Parapent / Paramotor / complex mixing with wing accelerator

Post by Malapell »

Updated 24 dec 2014 with a model multimode, some mixer lines saving and setup for receiver battery alarm Ni-Mh or Li-Po depending of option Paraglider or Paramotor.:
- I find a way to save some mixing lines using on mixer to multiply the value x2. The tip is using source THIS and weigth 100%.

Model templates not even is so obvious to setup :roll: any sugerence to simplify the mixer are WELCOME
I'm impressed of the power of this ER9x programing free mixes; the expensives radios does not allow it.....

Before to go flying Max pilot doing gymnastics to warm up his muscles.... :lol: :mrgreen:

To save eprom memory i build a model that can be soarer or paramotor.
The model selection is into the model itself and controlled by logical switch (LA).
By default the mode is soarer it means: No motor control at CH8 and Brakes are controlled by THR stick.

To change mode to Paramotor: Switch ON THR and maintain TRN during more tan 10 seconds.
Then the LA is activated and model are adapted to Paramotor.
There is no way to reset LA; to return to soarer mode is necesary to switch off the radio (i do it for safety).
Paramotor mode; everythink is the same as parapent but the brakes control are moved from THR to P1 via CH9 mixer lines.
THR act as motor control & and have setup safety stiky mode with THR switch.

Channels assignement:
- Brakes that modify the trailing edge
CH1 Left brake arm; -125 Pilot arm up / +125 Pilot arm down
CH2 Rigth brake arm +125 Pilot arm up / +125 Pilot arm down

- Servos to accelerate the wing by changing the incidende of the wing.
CH3 Left Speed bar servo; +125 Full soaring perfomance / -125 Max wing speed setup
CH4 Rigth Speed bar servo; -125 Full soaring perfomance / +125 Max wing speed setup

- Towing hook lock/relesease when Soaring mode is selected (LA inactive)
CH6 Towing hook: -100 Lock / +100 Released

- Motor control when Paramotor mode is selected (LA active)
CH8 Motor speed control; -100 Motor stopped/ +100 Motor full speed

Description features:
- Thr stick act CH1 & CH2 as static brakes moving down both arms together
- Ail stick act CH1 & CH2 as turning control and move one of the arm down; if there is applied some brake the opposite arm goes up.
- Ele stick act CH1 & CH2 as a dinamic brakes moving up/down both arms together; this control allows to change the brakes for a while without touch the THR (brakes)
- THR switch with soaring mode controls the towing hook; THR=OFF -> Locked / THR = ON -> Released / Paramotor mode remains Locked

There is also two additional servos for wing accelerator: CH3 & CH4
The system pulls down the front lines to change the incidence angle of the wing (AOA).
- THR Trim act as adjuster for wing accelerator for the 3 fligth modes feature and normal mode is directly actuated by P3.
- Fuctions at wing accelerator:
1- AIL switch OFF & IDx: Full control with P3 to adjust a position with full servo coarse.
2- AIL switch ON & ID0: Normal fligth ---> max performance for soaring; THR Trim adjust from -125 to 0
3- AIL switch ON & ID1: Medium speed ---> for médium winds to penétrate: THR Trim adjusto from 0 +/-50
4- AIL switch ON & ID2: High speed ---->for high winds to penétrate: THR Trim adjust from +125 to 0

DR for dinamic brakes on ELE switch.

Telemetry and Voices:
- Anunce when the Paramotor option is selected LA=ON -> VS15 [voice file 194]
- In soaring option (LA=OFF) Tow hook status:
[tab=30]+ L4=ON means Locked VS13 [Voice file 192]
[tab=30]+ L5 ON means Released VS14 [Voice file 193]
- In Paramotor option (LA=ON) Trottle cut status:
[tab=30]+ LC=ON means active VS16 [Voice file 160]
[tab=30]+ LD=ON means inactive VS17 [Voice file 161]
- Anunce when low DR is selected by ELE switch:
[tab=30]+ ELE=ON DR High VS20 [Voice file 165]
[tab=30]+ ELE=OFF DR Low VS21 [Voice file 167]
- Voices for each figth mode selected. AIL/L1/L2/L3 controls VSxx
[tab=30]+ VS9 AIL=OFF Normal fligth mode [Voice file 173]
[tab=30]+ VS10 L1=ON Soaring fligth mode [Voice file 181]
[tab=30]+ VS11 L2=ON Medium speed fligth mode [Voice file 182]
[tab=30]+ VS12 L3=ON High speed fligth mode [Voice file 183]
- ON/OFF Variometer with RUD switch, telemetry VSPD via A2; Status anuncement:
[tab=30]+ VS 18 RUD=ON Vario active [Voice files 170]
[tab=30]+ VS19 RUD=OFF Vario inactive [Voice files 171]
- Altitude every 15 sec ON/OFF with GEA switch, At new voice options
- RSSI, TSSI, Receiver Batt on demand with TRN switch pulsation. At new voice options
- 3 level alarm for TSSI. At new voice options using TmOk to mute the low and critical levels.
- voice ALARM Low receiver batt. At new voice options. Tigger L6 = OR LF ; LG.
[tab=30]+ Ni-MH 5 cells pack for Soaring mode (LA=0) adjusted to 5,8V setup at LF
[tab=30]+ Li-Po 3S for Paramotor mode (LA=1) adjusted to 10,2V setup at LG

- BackLigt for 10 seconds ON; when holding TRN switch 0,5 second , Logic Sw LI

- Custom telemetry screen using scalers to display controls current values and telemetry:
[tab=30]+ Control Current values: Brakes, Motor and AOA (angle of atack).
[tab=30]+ Telemetry: Receiver voltaje, Altitude and VSPD


Good fligth Jordi :)
