Easy way would be to do one on Inputs screen and the other on the Mixes screen. .... I think.

Shouldn't that be hear, better still hear hear!

Just thinking about the shut down message:

"How dare you turn me off"

"I was just starting to enjoy things"

"That'll save any further embarrassment"

Could be fun really.

I did try Gitbooks at the request of the OpenTX guys, but I found it quite a restrictive medium to work in and gave up fairly quickly.

I don't think the final presentation would look anything like I have achieved. I spent quite a lot of time on this, these days it really is important.

Sorry! My first job was in an electronic instrument factory as a production engineer. I spend 6 months on an an assembly line as part of the training, and now its something I can't help noticing.

Take your point about the 5 pins though and yours does look very neat.

Useful if you don't use the supplied NiMh battery in the tx, though soldering leaves something to be desired!
Otherwise a simple lead with +ve and -ve reversed is all that is needed.

Its in Special Functions. Scroll down the list of Actions.

Two comments.
First fit the small strap hanger to the tx neck strap fixing which also prevents the tx being easily turned off.
Use the instant trim feature of OpenTX so you can easily trim everything at once with a flick of the switch.

OK, how about a 12S pack with 2 voltage sensors. Use ADD to add the 2 voltages together. How about AVERAGE say of all the cell voltages in a flight pack. May want to use this instead of total voltage as an indication of capacity left in battery. Easier than having to remember pack values and calcula...

See here, the telemetry is in Section 3 part 2:


OpenTX Documentation


Read through section 1 and 2. It explains the SD Card and voices.

Check my OpenTX Documentation. All explained in here, Ref section 3 part 2:


OpenTX Documentation

Check the documentation here on this website. There is a How To to do this:

OpenTX Documentation

Check the documentation here on this forum. There's something on setting up a basic heli in the How To section as well as earlier on in the docs.

OpenTX Documentation

The first heli How To deals with a similar system, and you should be able to convert from the handbook to OpenTX from this How To.

Should be beginner not biginner.

Check documentation above. Reference section 2 pages 4 and 5.

Thank you.

Don't mind at all, indeed I do need people to find all the errors, there are bound to be plenty. It was impossible for me to try out every combination available myself.

Thank you for that. Docs changed. Page 19 is now page 26. I've added quite a bit to each one, and still adding.

Nearly ready to publish the "final" (haha!) document. Aiming for middle of next month so I can include all of the getting started bit.

I would suggest to update documentation of OpenTX related to the bootloader to mention this procedure for a bootloader upgrade, as personally I was never capable to upgrade it since the first bootloader version I ever installed on my radio (That was 2.0.15). I'm quite sure I'm not the only one in t...

No he can't, and the LMA are clearly not taking any notice of him.

This all looks a bit complicated.
Firstly, why not simply look at the lowest cell voltage, then no need to detect 3S or 4S.
Simply play the low/critical warnings when the cell drops below the preset values.
Also your cell voltages look high for warnings. I use 3.4v for low and 3.2 for critical.

From what I gather, the LMA have not taken his advice. Odd that he's questioning OpenTX, when it is the FrSky firmware that communicates with the receiver. He is not the radio guru for the LMA but for the organisation I gave a link to above. Wonder if he might be afraid of not getting the latest fre...

Got a better response on what is happening here. It seems somebody on a UK radio advisory body had concerns about an early Taranis, the tx not the receiver. However, as far as the LMA are concerned there is certainly no ban on either the Taranis or OpenTX, and apparently at a LMA show last weekend t...

Just heard from my friend who is an LMA official. He is on his way back from an LMA show and has heard nothing about this. He is going to check further for me.

Only too well aware of that. Hence the reason I'm surprised. The only condition "imposed" on the articles was to focus on OpenTX, as it can be used on a widening platform of transmitters rather than solely focus on the Taranis, although the editor has chosen to plonk a large picture of a T...

Pressure from the big boys that sponsor the events and magazines? ;) :) João Certainly not the magazines. I am currently doing a series of articles for the largest UK model flying magazine on OpenTX, and much to my surprise, this is not an issue with them. I'll do some checking with someone I know ...

Great Job. I have a number of small comments Reference Section 1. The Basics Page 2) Configure communication. Please rephrase this, When I am using alternate radios, in my case 9XR and Taranis I need to go in to this menu and change communication when I change radio. I suspect it is automatically c...

Wow! Thanks for all the hard work, ought to call you ChuckStar! I shall work my way through them in the next few days, and make the changes you've suggested. Have had a flurry of emails, and it looks like the OpenTX team would like to include it on their website which is undergoing a rewrite at the ...

Thanks for the comments. Corrected the RTC, and the Settings one. You are right, the latter needed to be more clearly written, it was confusing.

Keep the red pen handy and please post anything else which is unclear or wrong.

This is about the 4th update of this documentation and now is (hopefully) up-to-date for OpenTX version 2.2.3. Sadly it doesn't cover the X-lite for the simple reason that I don't have one! Looking at the various issues still outstanding for this version of OpenTX, few, if any will require a change ...
