Module configuration options

Configure Options

• name: AOA_PWM_CHANNEL value: PWM_INPUTX
  Description: Select PWM input channel for AOA sensor

Define Options

• name: AOA_SENS value: (2*3.14)/AOA_PWM_PERIOD
  Description: sensor sensitivity
• name: AOA_OFFSET value: 0.
  Description: offset in radian that can be set from settings
• name: AOA_ANGLE_OFFSET value: 3.14
  Description: global offset in radian corresponding to the sensor mounting (default: 3.14)
• name: AOA_REVERSE value: TRUE|FALSE
  Description: set to TRUE to reverse rotation direction
• name: AOA_PWM_PERIOD value: 4096
  Description: period in microsec (e.g. 4096 for 12 bits sensor)
• name: AOA_PWM_OFFSET value: 1
  Description: initial offset on the raw pwm signal if needed (default: 1usec)
• name: SEND_AOA value: TRUE|FALSE
  Description: enable telemetry report (default: TRUE)
• name: LOG_AOA value: TRUE|FALSE
  Description: enable logging on SD card (default: FALSE)

Module functions

Init Functions

These initialization functions are called once on startup.

• aoa_pwm_init()

Periodic Functions

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

• aoa_pwm_update()
  • Frequency in Hz: 20
  • Autorun: LOCK
    Periodic function automatically starts after init and can't be stopped.
