Devo10 & Multiwii fail safe

Hi,

I have a Devo 10 that has the inbuilt deviation failsafe setup and working, I would however rather use the multiwii fail safe as it will stop the motors after a period of decent throttle. I have uploaded the sketch into my Nanowii but it wont work with the Deviation fail safe on or off. I assume as the nanowii is still getting a signal from the rx that it doesnt initiate the fail safe.

Any thoughts or advice on clearing the rx failsafe settings ro something?

Thanks
Alex

You can use "Channel Monitor" to see if there is any signal from the TX.

I tried pulling the throttle lead from the rx to see if the mulitwii failsafe initiated and it did, so the rx is obviously still sending some kind of signal when the signal is lost.

I am not sure about MultiWii, but it does need an external receiver, or not?
If so, the failsafe values are sent to the receiver at bind time (when signal is usually good). When the receiver looses signal, it will give out the programmed failsafe values (say THR=-100%, AIL=ELE=RUDD=0) - the MultiWii still gets a regular input.
Maybe your receiver has a feature to give nothing out when it looses the connection to the transmitter. I have seen only those who continue to give out the last signal or the programmed failsafe values.
