Modes

This section discusses the controller’s normal operation in all its supported operating

modes.

Input Command Modes and Priorities

The controller will accept commands from one of the following sources

• Serial data (RS232, USB, MicroBasic script)

• Pulse (R/C radio, PWM, Frequency)

• Analog signal (0 to 5V)

• Spektrum Radio (on selected models)

• CAN Interface

One, many or all command modes can be enabled at the same time. When multiple

modes are enabled, the controller will select which mode to use based on a user

selectable priority scheme. Setting the priorities is done using the PC conﬁguration

utility.

This scheme uses a priority table containing three parameters and let you select which

mode must be used in each priority order. During operation, the controller reads the ﬁrst

priority parameter and switches to that command mode. If that command mode is found

to be active, that command is then used. If no valid command is detected, the controller

switches to the mode deﬁned in the next priority parameter. If no valid command is recog-

nized in that mode, the controller then repeats the operation with the third priority param-

eter. If no valid command is recognized in that last mode, the controller applies a default

command value that can be set by the user (typically 0).
