Yaw kill switch for Octocopter
  • ChrisL
    Hi - Can anyone help me set up the control switch to kill the yaw motor on an Octocopter rig. I need to hold the Yaw static (in line) with the air-frame for take off and landing. I have set up a switch on my radio Control Tx so that i can switch the control channel to change profiles - but I'm not sure how that helps. Can anyone give me any clues? My brain aches after trying to work it all out! It's the 32bit board & latest firmware. Thanks, Chris.

    No such thing! you you need to set up follow mode follow WAY so when your copter turns yaw will follow the direction of the turn.

    Ah - that's helpful - thanks. Yes - that would certainly work for take off and landing. I guess I then use the control channel to switch to a 2nd mode with follow turned off for the main flight?

    I do find the manual quite obscure at times. it would be nice if there was a bit more detail in it!
    Maybe someone could write a "Alex Mos Gimbals for Dummies" book!
    Thanks again. CL.

    Hi Chris, for take of and landings I set control switch to Profile 1 with the Yaw PID settings all set to 0 and Yaw Motor power at 1. This basically kills the yaw function without switching off the motor.
    Cheers.
