Paparazzi UAS  v7.0_unstable
Paparazzi is a free software Unmanned Aircraft System.
adc_generic module

Generic ADC

This module can be used to read one or two values from the ADC channels in a generic way. Data is reported through the default telemetry channel (by default) or can be redirected to an other one (alternate telemetry, datalogger) at a frequency defined in the telemetry xml file.

Example for airframe file

Add to your firmware section: This example contains all possible configuration options, not all of them are mandatory!

<module name="adc_generic">
b'<define name="ADC_GENERIC_PERIODIC_SEND" value="TRUE|FALSE" />\n '
b'<configure name="ADC_CHANNEL_GENERIC1" value="ADCX" />\n '
b'<configure name="ADC_CHANNEL_GENERIC2" value="ADCX" />\n '
</module>

Module configuration options

Configure Options

  • name: ADC_CHANNEL_GENERIC1 value: ADCX
    Description: choose which ADC is used for input 1
  • name: ADC_CHANNEL_GENERIC2 value: ADCX
    Description: choose which ADC is used for input 2

Define Options

  • name: ADC_GENERIC_PERIODIC_SEND value: TRUE|FALSE
    Description: enable or disable periodic report on standard telemetry channel (default: TRUE)

Module functions

Init Functions

These initialization functions are called once on startup.

Periodic Functions

These functions are called periodically at the specified frequency from the module periodic loop.

  • adc_generic_periodic()
    • Frequency in Hz: 4
    • Autorun: LOCK
      Periodic function automatically starts after init and can't be stopped.
