ISSUE: CAL and/or motor arming gesture not recognised

all templates
Description
Even after calibrating the sticks, it's not possible to enter CAL mode and/or arm the motor using the stick gestures.
Cause
The cause is a tolerance issue affecting a small proportion of gimbals with Hall effect sensors: the end point value may not reach 100 at certain points in its travel. This means that logical switches which detect the end point condition may fail.
To check your gimbal values, use Analog Inputs menu (Taranis) or Stats menu (Horus).
Solution
A workaround involves relaxing the stick gesture tolerances for CAL and motor arming:
LOGICAL SWITCHES
================
L1 ( Ail < -90 ) AND L2
L2 ( Ele < -90 ) AND SH↓
L3 Sticky(L1, L4)
L4 SH↓ AND L3
L5 CH17 < 100
L6 ( Ail > 90 ) AND !FM2
L7 ( Ele < -90 ) AND L6
The workaround is incorporated in all current templates.
