Navio2 doesn't detect failsafe with Futaba 14sg

Hi all

While configuring RC failsafe I found that there is no response when turning of my Futaba 14sg.

All channel values stay exactly as they were.

I’m running Navio2 with emlid-raspbian-20160408.img and ArduPilot-3.5.2.

I’ve tried both APMPlanner 2.0 and Mission Planner.

The docs says that Throttle PWM failsafe is the preferred failsafe for futaba Tx

But it is also the only options available in apmplanner2 and missionplanner that I’ve found?

Which code would be responcible for this problem, kernel (rcin)? or ArduPilot?

Could you make a simple test to give us a little more information.

  1. Connect you receiver and turn on the transmitter and move the throttle stick up.
  2. sudo cat /sys/kernel/rcio/rcin/ch2
  3. Turn off your Futaba
  4. Repeat the second step

Do values change? If not, I suppose there’s something hidden in the preferences of your transmitter.

Power on, throttle min:

pi@navio:~ $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/rcio/rcin/ch2
1094

throttle max:

pi@navio:~ $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/rcio/rcin/ch2
1934

power off

pi@navio:~ $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/rcio/rcin/ch2
1934

power on

pi@navio:~ $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/rcio/rcin/ch2
1934

throttle min

pi@navio:~ $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/rcio/rcin/ch2
1094

Its the same with all other channels, value at power off sticks.

What kind of preferences?
Also I tried a different Rx, same result.

I guess, this link can help setting up FS.

Thanks

That did the trick
