Documentation Discussion

Yes, thanks that's what I thought about.
With some text like:
This warning appears only if a stick or switch is not in safe position when loading another model or power up the transmitter. Per default this warning is assigned to the throttle stick. You can choose different input by manual editing the model.ini.
The dialog will be shown until the stick or toggle has been moved to the save position or the ENT button has been pressed. Note: As long as this warning is active signal transmission is disrupted.

But I do not know where to place it best! Probably in chapter 4 Main menu and as reference hint only also placed in 8.1 Model setup file section.

PB, I am sitting at my shop with everything done so I went through the doc on your repo and edited all the outstanding image mixed sizes so that placement and size match. I also removed the extra Husban image (there were two, one pasted on top of the other).

I cleaned up my repo so I should just be able to make a pull request of just the Devo10 manual. Would you want me to make such a request?

I did not change the timestamp on the title page but I pulled your edits at 15:20 UTC and finished my edits about 15:30 UTC.

I have a bit of time today, I will read through the two links provided earlier and see if I can makes heads or tails out of it.

Waldo could you please also update both attached images.

From the safety warning I removed the margin and to the layout screen the labels for power and battery have been added.

I am sorry but 5 minutes ago PB pushed a new commit (b11cfd7). Here is the updated screen.

I am attaching a file that has my first attempt at defining Swash types. I also found an error in section 8.8.5 there is no 1 Servo it is labeled None within Deviation which is likely a more correct name for the function where all mixing is done in the receiver.

I did it this way so you could see it first then simply edit then cut and paste it in anywhere you like.




re above post: Only to make them fit better within the original existing margins.

I am pretty sure my 120X description is wrong and it should read that the swash-plate is rotated 150° from the 120 configuration.

Alspo, eCCPM vs mCCPM are not terms I hear often. eCCPM is normally referred to as FBL (flybar-less)

eccpm does not mean flybarless, it's electronic cyclic collective pitch mixing, where all cyclic servo's deal with the pitch changes. as aposed to mechanical cyclic collective pitch mixing which none of the cyclic servos deal with the pitch.

these can both be flybarred or flybarless

All I can see is some paragraph spacing issues in section 10.3 Swash Mixing. In the section on 120X (3 Servo) the servos are shifted 150° not 90° as written, I caught this after I sent you the changes. In the 140 (3 Servo) description the 10th word "that" should be "the".

Everything else look peachy, can't wait to see what you decide the version number will be.

Last pass for the 7e/10 manual from my side as pull request.
EDIT: Just realised that the toggles are now standard. Therefore I attached the actual main page config. Please replace the old one.

This was the first time that I had a deeper look into the color manual. As you know only owning a Devo10. I think the next time I will edit the curves with the color emu and afterwards copy to the 10. I do not want to alter the manual with my small remarks. Therefore please find my two cents below:

- Section 2.3. file system: The BMP do have 96x96 pixels. Last line for Devo7e can be removed.
- Many of the images do not have a left-hand margin to the text.

Happy new year to all.

We have a German tradition for New Year's Eve: lead pouring. If you put melted lead into a bucket of water you can do some fortune-telling which version number the stucked lead shows.
