Throttle Kill Applet
This applet is for fixed wing aircraft to allow a throttle value below SERVO3_MIN to be used to kill an engine that uses PWM for engine kill, while allowing values below SERVO3_MIN in any mode without the kill switch being activated.
It is particularly suited to turbine engines which kill the motor using a low throttle input.
Parameters
The script creates a set of parameters with names starting withg THR_KILL
THR_KILL_FUNC
This is the auxillary function to use for activating the throttle kill. This should be set to a scripting auxillary function such as 300
THR_KILL_CHAN
This is the output channel to apply the throttle kill to. This is normally 3 for SERVO3
THR_KILL_VAL
This is the auxiliary function value to activate the kill switch. This is normally 2 meaning to activate on a high value of the auxillary function. If you want it to activate on low values then set this to 0.
THR_KILL_DEF
This is the default auxiliary function value at startup. If you want the engine to be killed by default on startup then set this to the same value as THR_KILL_VAL
Usage
After this script is installed and you have setup the above parameters then the THR_KILL_CHAN servo output channel will be forced to THR_KILL_PWM when the auxillary function is activated.
