NotFastEnuf/NFE_Silverware

Silverware is a firmware for some micro quadcopters, especially the whoop FPV racing.
Silverware supports level mode and acro mode. Also it can change the the settings for custom builds, or to adapt to personal preferences.
By default, Silverware changes modes, tune PIDs, calibrate accelerometer or save settings by stick sequences(also called gestures).
For example, the Frsky QX7 radio transmitter switches the FC's mode between level and acro by moving the right stick as show below.

RC Gestures Setting (Mode2)

• Left - Left - Down: acro mode
  
• Right - Right - Down : level mode
  

• Up - Down - Up: Cycle pid term to the next ( P - I - D )
  
• Up - Down - Down: Cycle pid axis to be changed ( Roll/Pitch - Yaw )
  

• Up - Down - Left: Decrease the selected value
  
• Up - Down - Right: Increase the selected value
  

• Down - Down - Down: Accelerometer calibration / Save pids if changed

When the The indicator LED flashes fast,turn on the radio transmitter and push the right-Throttle to top-right direction.
The indicator LED turning the fast flash into solid shows binding is successfully.

3）T8SG remote control

Power up the Armor65 Lite, the FC indicator LED flashes slowly for 6 times and then turn into fast flash mode. The fast flash mode shows the beginning of the binding mode.

Turn on the radio transmitter, short press "ENT" and go into "“Main menu", press " ENT", go into "Model menu",choose "“Model Setup”page.
