Input Configuration and Status
FALCON supports flexible input configurations through various input methods, including PWM channels and analog signals. This documentation provides details about input parameters, their configuration, and the corresponding status indicators.
PWM Input Channels
FALCON supports two primary PWM input channels:
| Channel | Parameter Name | Default Center | Purpose / Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| PWM Ch1 | pwm_ch1 | 1500 | Throttle input (default) |
| PWM Ch2 | pwm_ch2 | 0 | Power and Mode map selection (optional) |
Input Configuration Parameters
You can set input sources for throttle, power map, and mode map selection through the following parameters:
| Parameter | Default | Possible Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
throttle_INPUT | 1 | 1: PWM Channel 1 (ppm_ch1) 3: Analog Signal Conditioning Input 1 (asc_1) | Defines the source for throttle input. |
power_maps_INPUT | 0 | 0: Disabled (use only power_map_force) 2: PWM Channel 2 (ppm_ch2) 4: Analog Signal Conditioning Input 2 (asc_2) | Defines the input source for selecting power maps. |
mode_maps_INPUT | 0 | 0: Disabled (use only mode_map_force) 2: PWM Channel 2 (ppm_ch2) 4: Analog Signal Conditioning Input 2 (asc_2) | Defines the input source for selecting mode maps. |
Input Signals Status Indicators
Real-time input signals can be monitored using the following status indicators. This is the normalised signal level for each input. Normalised in [-1 -1] range.
| Status Variable | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
sig_throttle | Float | Current throttle input signal level |
sig_power_maps | Float | Current input signal for power map selection |
sig_mode_maps | Float | Current input signal for mode map selection |
Logic level for switchning maps:
| Input val | Selected map |
|---|---|
| 0 - 0.33 | map_0 |
| 0.33 - 0.66 | map_1 |
| 0.66 - 1 | map_2 |
