When you perform an auto mission you can ask for a output channel to be set to a value as part of that mission. As this example has chosen output channel 11, we should set the SERVO11_FUNCTION for that channel to Disabled (0), so that the value doesn\u2019t get changed by another output function immediately after the mission sets the value.<\/li>\n<li>For this example, we plugged the green wire into flight controller output channel 10 for RC manual override of autonomous winch control.<\/li>\n<li>For sample settings for output channel 10,\u00a0 see\u00a0 fig.3 (SERV0_10). For example, if\u00a0 SERVO10_FUNCTION is 61 (meaning RCPassThru), then channel 10 output will always be equal to RC channel 11 input.

style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">TYPE A<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This winch is used where deployment speed is essential without any requirement for payload retrieval\/retraction. Deployment speeds of 0.7m\/sec are achievable making this which the fastest option available. However, this advantage is offset by low retraction limits. If payload exceeds 400g and\u00a0 payload fails to release on touch down, it is advised to manual override to loiter flight mode then to manual deploy again with RC controls until payload is released. loads under 400g can be allowed to retract back to UAV upon failed release.<\/p>\n<p>For a sample time deploying autonomously from a height of 10 m, you will need to set a &#8220;Loiter&#8221; time of 15 sec to drop off the payload and retract empty to UAV.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">TYPE B<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This winch is the standard. It has a speed of 1 m \/sec. This means that if you are deploying from a height of 10 m, you will need to set a &#8220;Loiter&#8221; time of 20 sec to drop of the payload and retract to home.<\/p>\n<p>If by any chance you are retracting a payload to the UAV, you are only limited to retract a maximum of 700 g. Any excess of this may cause the winch to stall in retract mode thereby forcing you to lower the winch or copter to drop off payload manually.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">TYPE C<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is a slightly\u00a0 stronger winch at the cost of slower deployment speed. Deployment speed is 1.5 m\/second. This required a loiter time of 30 seconds to deploy from 10 m and to retract to UAV empty. However retraction limits of 1 kg is achievable making this winch the strongest option available at the cost of low speed .<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">TYPE A , B &amp; TYPE C MAXIMUM DEPLOYMENT LOAD<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Maximum deployment payloads is dependant on UAV powertrain and frame.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If using the Tronsys X8 power train and frame, a total of 3kg is maximum allowable load. This includes the weight of the winch\u00a0 at 1.3 kg. As a result, the\u00a0 maximum allowable load that can be deployed to earth is 1.7 Kg when using the Tronsys X8 UAV power train.\u00a0 The heavier the payload up to the limit of 1.7 Kg, the shorter the duration of flight due to battery constraints.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This tutorial with video demonstrations helps you get started in connecting up a Tronsys winch for your UAV.
