Ready Status Field

[Stefano Caburosso]

Hello Micropilot team!

I've been looking throughout the manuals but I haven't found this piece of information: is the Autopilot ready condition (that triggers the READY cell at the bottom of Horizon's screen turning green) stored in any field, available for reading? I'd like to use it to turn a LED on to have a visual confirmation of the ready status.

Thank you very much!

Mario, HELICAMPRO

Hi Mario,

The Ready state as indicated in Horizon is not saved in a field and just transmitted through telemetry.
You can tell if an autopilot is Ready by looking at the [kount] (1063) field.

When [kount] is greater than 155 the autopilot is ready. That field will begin counting up at 5hz during initialization.
