Configure Modes & Mavlink Buttons

Herelink is fitted with six programmable buttons and one hardware wheel. These can be configured to control sbus channel outputs from the Rover Unit's dual sbus connector and to send Mavlink commands to the autopilot via Solex or QGC. For examples ,flight mode selection, servo output and control GCS.

You Can configure buttons A, B, C, D, Cam, Home and HW Wheel as Mavlink commands in Solex and QGC. These commands include

  • Vehicle Mode

  • Home Mode Prompt

  • Take Picture

  • Toggle Video

  • Camera Switch

  • Map/Video toggle

  • Toggle HUD

  • Set Servo

  • Non-Latch Servo

  • Set Relay

  • MAVLink command

  • Arm

  • Disarm

  • Toggle Arm

  • Wheel Settings

  • Clear Wheel Settings

In Ardupilot and PX4, Solex TX and QGC have on-screen switching control for selecting and changing flight modes If you want to set one or more buttons to change flight mode, it must be set only to Mavlink button commands, i.e. set button control in Solex or QGC, not thej Sbus signal in Channel 5.

Mavlink provides a secure command link for flight mode changes, immune to system restarts and signal loss.

After the configuration flight mode is selected, the user should confirm that the Fail Safe been setted correctly and test before using it.

Note: Ardupilot set Sbus channel 5 as the default flight mode selection, which should be disabled when using Herelink by setting the "FLTMODE_CH" parameter in all parameters to 0.

**Home button: **You are advised to use the RTL command by long or short pressing the Home button.
