Overview

The LEFT parameter group (specifically LEFT_LONG) configures the behavior of the Left Shoulder Button on specialized Toy Mode controllers (gamepad-style).

Key Concepts

1. Toy Mode Mapping

In Toy Mode, the controller buttons are mapped to specific ArduPilot flight modes or actions.

  • LEFT_LONG: Defines what happens when the left button is held for more than 1 second.
    • Common Actions: Change flight mode, trigger photo, or perform a flip.

Developer Notes

  • Library: ArduCopter/toy_mode.cpp.
  • Context: Only relevant if using specific SkyViper or similar gamepad-driven hardware.
