[rcpilot-support] RCAP

[Eskulaap P. <fas...@es...>]

I am planning to build the RCap to navigate a bait boat back to the =
launching spot after the bait have been dropped.

I do not have a spare channel on the receiver and want to activate the =
autopilot via a microswitch (which gets activated by the servo that =
controls the bait latch).=20
(The bout have a three channel radio -rudder, motor and latch)

I am fimiliar with pic's but not with the high level languages like C, =
Basic etc.=20

What I need is to change the part of the program where it reads the =
receiver pulses to activete or deactivet the autopilot.It must instead =
only read a high or low on one of the PIC's I/O pins to activate or =
deactivate the autopilot. Or even an extra extra statement with a OR =
command?
{eg. Autopilot activated by Microswitch OR ReceiverInput}


Have someone try this before?

Regards

Francois
