# 飞行模式有关配置
飞行模式 提供了不同类型的 辅助飞行 ，以及通过设定执行任务的或者通过相应计算机控制的 全自主飞行 。 不同的飞行模式使得新用户可以使用一个相对于单一的基础遥控器飞行而言更广泛的平台来学习飞行。 不同的飞行模式还提供了一些常见的自动化任务，比如起飞、降落和自动返航功能。
PX4 允许您从地面站（平板电脑或者桌面电脑）或者遥控器来切换飞行模式。 如果遥控器或者平板电脑都连接上 PX4 的话，两者都可以改变当前的飞行模式并且覆盖之前飞行模式的设置。
这个话题说明了如何在你的遥控器开关上映射飞行模式设置。
提示
You must already have configured your radio in order to set flight modes.
# 我应该设置什么飞行模式呢？
You can set any (or none) of the flight modes described here.
New users should consider setting one or more of the following modes, which make the vehicle much easier to fly:
- 自稳模式 - 飞行器很难侧翻，并且如果遥控器摇杆释放的话飞行器会趋于水平（但无法保持位置定点）。
- 位置模式 - 如果遥控器摇杆释放的话飞行器会停下来保持位置定点（并且不会随风飘移）。
- 定高模式 - 飞行器的爬升和降落被限制了一个最大的速率。飞机会保持高度稳定（但仍无法保持位置定点）。
It is also common to map switches to:
- 返航模式 - 这个模式会把飞行器升高到安全的高度并且返回起飞点。
- 任务模式 - 这个模式将会运行地面站发送的预先编写好的任务。
- Kill Switch - 立即停止所有电机的输出（飞行器可能会摔坏，这在某些紧急情况下比允许其继续飞行更为可取）。
# 多通道飞行模式选择 vs 单通道飞行模式选择
PX4 (QGroundControl) supports two modes for mapping flight modes to transmitter switches/dials:
- 单通道模式选择： 单通道编码模式下最多分配 6 个飞行模式到遥控器的不同开关位置上。
- 多通道模式选择： 把不同飞行模式分配到不同的遥控器开关位置，来使用一个或者多个通道的编码。 一些模式被硬编码以共享通道，或者是根据其他选择的模式被自动指定（多通道模式选择的方式很多时候会导致困惑）。
提示
The recommended approach is use Single Channel Mode Selection because it easy to understand and configure.
# 单通道飞行模式选择
The single-channel selection mode allows you to specify a "mode" channel and select up to 6 flight modes that will be activated based on the PWM value of the channel. You can also separately specify channels for mapping a kill switch, return to launch mode, and offboard mode.
注解
In order to use this approach you will first need to configure your transmitter to encode the physical positions of your mode switch(es) into a single channel. We provide a video guide of how this is done for the popular Taranis transmitter below (check your documentation if you use a different transmitter).
To configure single-channel flight mode selection:
打开 QGroundControl 并连接上飞机。
打开您的 RC 遥控器发射机。
点击上方工具栏的 Gear 图标（飞行器设置），然后在左侧边栏选择 Flight Modes 。
提示
If the screen opens in Multi Channel Mode click the Use Single Channel Mode Selection button to change screen.
进行 飞行模式设置 :
- 选择 Mode channel （上面显示的是 Channel 5 ，但是这是取决于你遥控器的设置的）。
- 最多可以选择 6 个 飞行模式 。
进行 遥控器开关设置 ：
- 选择你想要映射的特点飞行模式的通道 - 例如：自动返航，Kill switch，机外控制（offboard） 等模式。 （如果你的遥控器发射机上有空闲的开关或者通道的话）。
测试模式是否映射到正确的发射器开关：
- 检查 Channel Monitor 以确认改变每个开关可以改变预期的通道。
- 拨动你遥控器上刚刚映射的飞行模式有关的开关，并检查对应的飞行模式已被激活（ QGroundeControl 上对应的通道的字体在被激活的情况下变为黄色 ）
All values are automatically saved as they are changed.
# 单通道模式配置的视频演示（包括遥控器相关设置）
It is common to use the positions of a 2- and a 3-position switch on the transmitter to represent the 6 flight modes, and encode each combination of switches as a particular PWM value for the mode that will be sent on a single channel.
The video below shows how this is done with the FrSky Taranis transmitter (a very popular and highly recommended RC transmitter). The process involves assigning a "logical switch" to each combination of positions of the two real switches. Each logical switch is then assigned to a different PWM value on the same channel.
The video then shows how to use QGroundControl to specify the mode channel and map modes to each of the 6 "slots".
# 单通道模式设置示例
This example shows how you can configure a transmitter and PX4 with:
- 一个在单通道模式下用于选择飞行模式（手动，高度，特技）的三段开关。
- A 2-way switch that invokes some function (arm/disarm) (via a Radio switch parameter).
注解
This example shows how to set up the popular FrSky Taranis transmitter. Configuration will be slightly different for other transmitters.
First set up your transmitter. Below we show how to map the Taranis "SD" switch to channel 5. This is done in the Taranis UI 'mixer' page, as shown below:
You can then select the channel and the flight modes in single channel mode selection option in QGroundControl:
The Radio switch parameters map a particular function to a channel. Assuming you have already mapped a channel in your transmitter you can assign the channel by setting the parameter.
For example, below we map channel 6 to the RC_MAP_ARM_SW parameter in QGroundControl.
# 多通道飞行模式选择
提示
We recommend you use Single Channel Flight Mode selection because the Multi Channel selection user interface can be confusing. If you do choose to use this method, then the best approach is to start assigning channels and take note of information displayed by QGroundControl following your selection.
The multi-channel selection user interface allows you to map one or more modes to one or more channels. There are some modes (and hence switches) that must always be defined, and the channel to which they must be allocated.
To configure flight modes using the multi-channel UI:
打开您的 RC 遥控器发射机。
打开 QGroundControl 并连接上飞机。
点击上方工具栏的 Gear 图标（飞行器设置），然后在左侧边栏选择 Flight Modes 。
提示
If the screen opens in Single Channel Mode click the Use Multi Channel Mode Selection button to change screen.
Select the modes you want to assign to your switches and select the associated channel (selected modes will move in the user interface to be grouped by channel). There are a number of complications on the mode to channel assignments:
- Some modes cannot be manually edited (are grayed out) because their channel and threshold level are automatically defined based on the values of other mode settings. 例如：
- Mission mode - is automatically assigned the same channel number as Hold (if the channel for Hold is defined by the user). If the channel for Hold is not defined, Mission mode is automatically assigned the same channel as Stabilized/Main mode. This, for example, prevents the user from defining Stabilized/Main and Mission mode on different channels, to ensure that the user cannot switch both modes ON at the same time.
- Altitude mode - is automatically assigned the same channel number as Position Control (if it is defined), or otherwise the same channel as Stabilized/Main mode.
- Assist mode - This mode is added to the same channel as Stabilized/Main mode if (and only if) Position Control is enabled and defined on a different channel than Stabilized/Main.
- Some modes cannot be manually edited (are grayed out) because their channel and threshold level are automatically defined based on the values of other mode settings. 例如：
Click the Generate Thresholds button.
- This will automatically create threshold values for all modes, spread evenly across each channel for its assigned modes. For example, in the mode assignment shown above, most modes are assigned to mode 5, and you can see that the channel thresholds for each mode are spread evenly across the channel.
This mode is demonstrated in the autopilot setup video here (opens new window) (youtube).
注解
This flight mode selection mechanism is relatively complicated due to the way that PX4 works out which mode should be selected. You may be able to gain some insight from this flow chart.
