I’m doing some detailed work with parameters right now and could use some input. I noticed that there are parameters in the full parameter reference that are not in the QGC list. For example this one.
CA9685_FUNC2 (INT32) PCA9685 Output Channel 2 Output Function
Comment: Select what should be output on PCA9685 Output Channel 2. The default failsafe value is set according to the selected function: - ‘Min’ for ConstantMin - ‘Max’ for ConstantMax - ‘Max’ for Parachute - (‘Max’+‘Min’)/2 for Servos - ‘Disarmed’ for the rest

I never noticed this parameter before so I think it may be new to PX4 1.13.3 which I am using. At any rate, what does this parameter do and when should I use it? Also, this parameter does not show up in the .params file that I downloaded from QGC,
Thanks,
Joe
