v1.0.0 - First public release

[ZZ-Cat]

Overview

This is the first ever public release of my Heli Profiles.

What's new

• Add three profile templates:
  • Ex1-DSMX-BX.
  • Ex2-ELRS-B2.
  • Ex3-OMP-OMP.

Each template has these features:

• Bank Switching.
  • Subject to hardware availability - Some flight controller manufacturers hide this vital feature behind pay walls.
• Control Isolation.
  • Saves your servos by turning off your sticks, when they are not needed.
• Pit Mode.
  • In this mode, your helicopter's motor will never start up.
  • You can use your sticks to operate your helicopter's collective, cyclic & tail controls independently of your motor.
  • Perfect for working on your helicopter while it is on the bench.
• RPM Switching.
  • Traditional Normal, Idle Up 1 & Idle Up 2 RPM settings, that you can adjust yourself.
• Two-Step Safety Arming.
  • Prevents unintended/accidental start-ups.

How to use Two-Step Safety Arming

Arming

1. Lift-&-hold switches SF & SH for three seconds.
2. Release switch SH.
3. When you hear your controller call out "Armed. Stick commands enabled." You are now armed & ready.

Pro Tip: To cancel the arming process, simply hold SF & SH up for 5 or more seconds, & then release switch SH.

Starting

To start your helicopter, simply flip your SF switch down. Your controller will call out "Throttle Active" & your helicopter's motor will start.

Shutdown

To shut your helicopter down, flip your SF switch up. Your controller will call out "Throttle Cut" & your helicopter's motor will stop.

Disarming

This is simply the same process as arming:

1. Lift-&-hold switches SF & SH for three seconds.
2. Release switch SH.
3. When you hear your controller call out "Disarmed. Stick commands disabled." You are now disarmed & your helicopter is completely inert.

Pro Tip: To cancel the disarming process, simply hold SF & SH up for 5 or more seconds, & then release switch SH.

Installation

1. Download the RadioMaster_TX16S.zip file.
2. Extract the RadioMaster TX16S subfolder to wherever you store your SD card contents for synchronising to your controller. In my case, I store mine in C:\%userprofile%\OneDrive\EdgeTX\Companion\SD Cards\ for cloud storage & backup.
3. Open up EdgeTX Companion.
4. Synchronise your SD Card contents.
5. Look for the templates under Manage Models ► New Model ► Personal

Additional

While I have taken every step necessary to ensure the stability of this release, there is the slight chance that a bug or two may still be present.
If you encounter any bugs, please let me know via my Issues tab.

My Discussions Tab is open as well. If you feel the need to drop me a line, you can do so over there. I promise I won't bite. =^/.~=
