# UltraMotion CAN Driver | ||
|
||
This driver implements support for the UltraMotion CAN servos | ||
|
||
# Parameters | ||
|
||
The script used the following parameters: | ||
|
||
## UM_SERVO_MASK | ||
|
||
Mask of servo channels to transmit using UltraMotion CAN messages | ||
|
||
## UM_CANDRV | ||
|
||
This sets the CAN scripting driver number to attach to. This is | ||
normally set to 1 to use a CAN driver with CAN_Dx_PROTOCOL=10. To use | ||
the 2nd scripting CAN driver set this to 2 and set CAN_Dx_PROTOCOL=12. | ||
|
||
## UM_RATE_HZ | ||
|
||
This sets the update rate of the script in Hz (how often it checks for | ||
new data from the ECU). A value of 200 is reasonable. | ||
|
||
## UM_OPTIONS | ||
|
||
This sets optional features. Set bit 1 for enabling CAN logging. Bit 2 | ||
enables telemetry parsing. Bit 3 for sending the position of all | ||
servos as NAMED_VALUE_FLOAT MAVLink packets of name UMPOS_n where n is | ||
the unit ID. | ||
|
||
# Operation | ||
|
||
This driver should be loaded by placing the lua script in the | ||
APM/SCRIPTS directory on the microSD card, which can be done either | ||
directly or via MAVFTP. The following key parameters should be set: | ||
|
||
- SCR_ENABLE should be set to 1 | ||
- UM_SERVO_MASK needs to be set to a mask of servos | ||
|
||
It is also strongly recommended that you raise SCR_THD_PRIORITY to 3 | ||
to ensure the script gets sufficient priority. | ||
|
||
then the flight controller should rebooted and parameters should be | ||
refreshed. | ||
|
||
# Telemetry Support | ||
|
||
To use telemetry you need to setup the servos with a specific txData | ||
format. The code currently assumes txData is pABCDEFS | ||
