boolean check_drop ( void )

Check if the 4th RC channel is signaling a payload drop

Returns:: true if ready to drop, false if not yet ready

void drop_payload ( void )

Drop payload by sending output to the servo controlling the release.

int rc_filter	(	int	rc,
		int	rc_old

Filter RC commands when they are read. This function limits the difference between the current and previous reading to prevent wild readings from being used.

Parameters:

rc	the current RC value as read from the board
rc_old	the previous RC value

Returns:: the adjusted current RC value to be used

Definition at line 139 of file rc.pde.

void read_RC ( void )

Read RC values from the board (using the APM_RC library) and adjust them as necessary.

See also:: APM_RC

Definition at line 44 of file rc.pde.

void reset_drop ( void )

Reset the servo controlling the payload drop.

Definition at line 126 of file rc.pde.

void send_RC ( void )
