Module configuration options

Define Options

name: PBN_AIRSPEED_SCALE value: (1./0.54)
Description: quadratic scale factor to convert differential pressure to airspeed
name: PBN_ALTITUDE_SCALE value: 0.32
Description: linear scale factor for altitude
name: PBN_PRESSURE_OFFSET value: 101325.0
Description: pressure offset
name: USE_AIRSPEED_PBN value: TRUE|FALSE
Description: set airspeed in state interface

Module functions

Init Functions

These initialization functions are called once on startup.

pbn_init()

Event Functions

These event functions are called in each cycle of the module event loop.

PbnEvent()

Periodic Functions

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

pbn_periodic()
- Frequency in Hz: 10
- Autorun: LOCK
  Periodic function automatically starts after init and can't be stopped.
