Tech overviews

24.0626 (v1 24.0521)

Right now there is only 1 tech overview doc (eventually I plan to write about 10 tech overview docs that describe the core 10 subsystems that you need to setup to get a full-featured working drone):

0.3_#5_tech_overview_RC-RX-FC_v04_24.0525.docx. Describes the entire signal flow from the RC sticks/switches (inputs/mixes/outputs) to the movement/mode commands in the FC. This is the first tech overview. I wrote after spending weeks trying to understand the settings for inputs, mixes, outputs for edgetx tx12. After I finally figured it out, I simply could not believe that in all the tutorials (youtube videos, etc), not a single expert explained how this really works. This tech note explains. Explains the chaos of the RC UI design.
