Method for replacing a signal controlling an actuator in a remote-controlled flying device with another signal

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for replacing a signal controlling an actuator in a remote-controlled flying device with another signal. A flight controller supplies control signals to a safety device, and the signal to be replaced may be a signal to be transmitted by the safety device to a speed controller of at least one motor, or to a servo unit controlling the same, or the signal to be replaced may be a signal to be transmitted from the safety device to a servo unit controlling legs, a camera rack, a camera, a stabilizing system or an electric motor of the flying device. A replacement signal is a signal stored in a memory of the safety device. The replacement signal may be capable of controlling the speed controller directly or via the servo unit, in such a way that power transmission to said motor/motors is stopped or reduced, and this motor is/these motors are switched off or its/their rotation is decelerated, or the replacement signal may be capable of controlling said servo unit in such a way that said actuator is moved to a second position. The replacement signal may be a signal to be transmitted from a receiver past a flight controller, capable of controlling the speed controller or servo unit of the motor in such a way that power transmission to the motor is stopped or reduced, or to control said actuator in such a way that this actuator is moved to another position.
