doodle labs and joystick setup

Jetson Nano

@Eric-Katzfey
I tested what you asked me, since i am using external Fc and doodle labs, I am not able to assign AUX to any button, is there any work around on how to assign AUX

@Eric-Katzfey @Alex-Kushleyev
hey guys, just a random thought, can I enable turtle mode through a button instead of taking AUX 1 into consideration. just a thought, any guidance and help would be greatly appreciated.

Eric Katzfey

@Jetson-Nano What do you see if you go to the MAVLink console in QGC and look at the manual_control_setpoint topic? (listener manual_control_setpoint)?

Eric Katzfey

@Eric-Katzfey Also, there is a parameter called VOXL_ESC_T_ON. How is that set? It determines which button will be used for turtle mode. The code is here: https://github.com/modalai/px4-firmware/blob/ea098200d3c09b7af548bf7be29fda245fad8f17/src/modules/mavlink/mavlink_receiver.cpp#L2083

@Eric-Katzfey I am not able to see the option you have mentioned VOXL_ESC_T_ON

In the Mavlink console what do you see with "param show VOXL_ESC_*"?

And what about "ver all"?

What is the parameter COM_RC_IN_MODE set to?

Jetson Nano

@Eric-Katzfey COM_RC_IN_MODE is set to joystick only

Jetson Nano

@Eric-Katzfey Hey hope you are doing fine, I checked the code and various branches of PX4, I noticed I was able to see the parameter VOXL_ESC_T_ON but the option only showcased button 1 for assignment . what to do if I want to assign another button.

Eric Katzfey

@Jetson-Nano You set that parameter to match the button you want to use.

Jetson Nano

@Eric-Katzfey Thank you for reverting back, The options only show one option button 1. I tested with button one but the drone was not taking in the command for enabling the turtle mode.
I want to know whether the code was tested out, so that I can be sure about not missing out on any parameter or setup
