RSSI_ parameters¶

7 parameters in the RSSI_ family. ArduCopter 4.7 only — other vehicles share many of these names but not always the same ranges or meanings.

RSSI_ANA_PIN¶

Receiver RSSI sensing pin

Pin used to read the RSSI voltage or PWM value. Analog Airspeed ports can be used for Analog inputs (some autopilots provide others also), Non-IOMCU Servo/MotorOutputs can be used for PWM input when configured as “GPIOs”. Values for some autopilots are given as examples. Search wiki for “Analog pins” for analog pin or “GPIOs”, if PWM input type, to determine pin number.

`51`	AUX2
`52`	AUX3
`53`	AUX4
`54`	AUX5

`103`	Pixhawk SBUS

RSSI_CHANNEL¶

Receiver RSSI channel number

The channel number where RSSI will be output by the radio receiver (5 and above).

Range	`0` to `16`
User level	Standard

RSSI_CHAN_HIGH¶

Receiver RSSI PWM high value

PWM value that the radio receiver will put on the RSSI_CHANNEL or RSSI_ANA_PIN when the signal strength is the strongest. Some radio receivers output inverted values so this value may be higher than RSSI_CHAN_LOW

Units	`PWM`
Range	`0` to `2000`
User level	Standard

RSSI_CHAN_LOW¶

RSSI PWM low value

PWM value that the radio receiver will put on the RSSI_CHANNEL or RSSI_ANA_PIN when the signal strength is the weakest. Some radio receivers output inverted values so this value may be lower than RSSI_CHAN_HIGH

Units	`PWM`
Range	`0` to `2000`
User level	Standard

RSSI_PIN_HIGH¶

RSSI pin’s highest voltage

RSSI pin’s voltage received on the RSSI_ANA_PIN when the signal strength is the strongest. Some radio receivers put out inverted values so this value may be lower than RSSI_PIN_LOW. When using pin 103, the maximum value of the parameter is 3.3V.

Units	`V`
Range	`0` to `5.0`
Increment	`0.01`
User level	Standard

RSSI_PIN_LOW¶

RSSI pin’s lowest voltage

RSSI pin’s voltage received on the RSSI_ANA_PIN when the signal strength is the weakest. Some radio receivers put out inverted values so this value may be higher than RSSI_PIN_HIGH. When using pin 103, the maximum value of the parameter is 3.3V.

Units	`V`
Range	`0` to `5.0`
Increment	`0.01`
User level	Standard

RSSI_TYPE¶

RSSI Type

Radio Receiver RSSI type. If your radio receiver supports RSSI of some kind, set it here, then set its associated RSSI_XXXXX parameters, if any.
