Kevin Fairgrieve Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have thrown a GPS module into my faithful Galaxy Magician. Now I can activate the log by assigning a switch such as SF, but I may forget to throw the switch to start recording! What I would like to be able to do if it is possible, is to assign the log to the throttle, so that it starts recording when say the throttle hits 5% for more than say 15 seconds (to allow for nose up throttle tests) and stays recording until the TX is switched off. Any one any ideas. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David... Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Add another LS so that when throttle is above say 5% the log starts, it's one of the functions on the right of that row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Can you set it to start recording above a certain height or speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I always have a throttle cut switch, for safety reasons on electric models, so activate my log using that switch. So the log runs whenever the motor is armed. Works very well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Fairgrieve Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 I use that method on my electric models also. But this is a good old fashioned dirty, oily, smelly IC engine. I could use the same method but I do not want to record the pre flight etc etc. Hence the starting of the log after a set time. I am going to go flying shortly and I will just have to remember to throw the switch to start the log. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David... Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 you can do this: 1. Setup a Logical Switch say LS1 as a>x Thr 5 2. Setup a Special Function say SF10 L1 SDLogs 0.2s This would start recording as long as the throttle remained above 5% that's getting close.

andyh Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I haven't tried it, but I think this would do roughly what you want: 1. set one of your timers - TmrX - to TH% 2. set a LS as a>x TmrX <some value of seconds> 3. set a SF mapping the LS to SDLogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes: you can do this: 1. Setup a Logical Switch say LS1 as a>x GAlt 200 (say 200Metres) 2. Setup a Special Function say SF10 LS1 SDLogs 0.2s This would start recording as long when the GPS reported height went above 200Metres 1. Setup a Logical Switch say LS2 as a>x GSpd 50 (say 50Km/hr) 2. Setup a Special Function say SF10 LS1 SDLogs 0.2s This would start recording as long when the GPS reported speed went above 50Km/hr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
