Help neede: setting up EPA for Trottle +-150%

Post by vovancbr »

Hi, I'm a new opentx user and finding it cool but a little complicated, I am currently trying to set up my failsafe on copter (APM 2.5) and looks like I need a throttle signal to be -150%+150% for initial setup (later to be returned to -100%+100%) .
I was trying to find this function under the menu - but no luck. maybe someone can help me to find this. On some radios it's called EPA.

thanks in advance


RC transmitters usually have a default range for each channel that goes from -100% to 100%, however most transmitters will allow you to extend this to -150% and 150% respectively.

On openTx the maximum is 125%, that you can get to by enabling Extended limits on the model setup page and then setting the limits themselves. It however corresponds to more than 150% on most radios.

I got as low as 990us. And you can set the failsafe limit in APM. I did set it to 1030. And after that I adjusted the throttle endpoint to 1100. Works like a charm.
