Background
Section titled “Background”This alarm indicates whether or not there is sufficient telemetry to determine whether or not the following in-alarms should be set or clear:
In Flight:
- ERROR_VBAT_POS_PHASE_RESISTANCE- ERROR_VBAT_NEG_PHASE_RESISTANCEdepends on Battery, Distro A, and Distro B telemetry.
Prior to flight:
- ERROR_VBAT_POS_PHASE_RESISTANCE- ERROR_VBAT_NEG_PHASE_RESISTANCE- ERROR_HOVER_PORT_AFT_RESISTANCE- ERROR_HOVER_PORT_FWD_RESISTANCE- ERROR_HOVER_STBD_AFT_RESISTANCE- ERROR_HOVER_STBD_FWD_RESISTANCE- ERROR_MIXED_MOTOR_RESISTANCEdepends on Battery, Distro A, Distro B, and Propulsion Motor telemetry.
