Cleanflight Patch:
Port of refactored beeper code
The beeper/buzzer on my
MiniFTC
Note: This patch has now been implemented in the released Cleanflight code version 1.9.0 and later.
The Cleanflight project had the pending issue #648 Port refactored beeper code, so I've worked on implementing it. The resulting patch (pull request) is posted as Port of refactored beeper code #669.
There are now arm and disarm tones. While the copter is armed and
not flying, the beeper chirps to warn the operator. If the
arm/disarm is via the control stick, holding the stick in the disarm
position will make the disarm tone repeat. This can be used as a
lost-model locator. These changes should address issue #317 Beep to sound on arm/disarm.
There is now a special arming tone used if a GPS fix has been attained,
and there's a "ready" tone sounded after a GPS fix has been attained
(only happens once). The tone sounded via the TX-AUX-switch will
count out the number of satellites (if GPS fix). There is now a beep when changing the flight mode (issue #647).
Other indicator beeps (like up/down adjustments and rate profile
changes via transmitter switch) should operate the same as before.
The low and critical-battery sounds are now longer tones.
This update is due to be merged into Cleanflight v1.9.x, but if folks
want to try it out before then there is a '.hex' file posted
below. Note that this firmware requires the development-version
0.63.x of the Cleanflight Configurator GUI, from here.
Firmware file for Naze32: cleanflight_NAZE_v1.8.1_et_refactoredBeeperCode_181_1_20150404_1.hex
(If you'd like firmware files for other boards posted, let me know.)
Note: This firmware file should be considered a beta-test release and is to be used at your own risk.
