Taranis: AP modes on LCD

This tutorial shows how to show current Autopilot mode on Taranis LCD screen

Taranis is fully customizable and all switches, sliders and sticks may be used to control functions of Taranis. We use this ability to show on LCD screen current autopilot modes:

SONY DSC

  • Full manual (OFF)
  • Manual with stabilization (STAB)
  • Auto with  throttle down (RTH)
  • Auto with half throttle  (HOLD)
  • Auto with full throttle (CIRCLE)

Of course it do not cover all possible modes (like Routes, Landing, Takeoff) but for sure may help to ensure  in which state should be system, e.g when pilot is away of TV monitor.

For this purpose we define and use flight modes feature. Each flight mode has its own name, and we define 5 flight modes controlled by Autopilot mode switch and throttle level.
