I will give that a shot as soon as I can - Thanks

When I remove the scaler settings, normal function returns just as with the other issue.

With the Scaler set as on the previous page with "Dest" left as default, The battery remaining % works fine.
However, alt displays 0.0 now for the entire flight.
Galt functions though.

When I return the scaler setting back to how I found them, everything is back to normal.
Correct FasV reading and the battery icon only refreshes on disarm.

Understood. Now, with the attached settings, it initially appears capacity is working but now what used to be fasv now shows 4.0v...flipping for an instant to show current voltage 16.4v And that reading is with the craft turned off **other issues not related to TX** Total loss of power in flight whi...

If you use the "better" method above, and set the mAh alarm to 0, you will disable the inbuilt "Low Capacity" alarm. You may then set a voice alert to monitor the fuel value and report at whatever repeat rate you like (or just once). Mike. OK, set a "Scaler" ? How is t...

So I scared the heck out of myself yesterday. Flew a 14,000 ft (travel distance) spline mission with my F550. I flew with dual 5200mAh batteries to ensure enough capacity. However, i forgot to change within the Mission Planner parameters and the controller alarm. 1/2 way through "Battery at 20%...

I used option 1 for my reported results.
That will be fine for now as I don't need an exact reading for now.
But I will keep all the options in my information catalog.

I use a 10,000 for my 680pro and 5200 for the 550 and 450 with an occasional parallel 2x 5200 in the 550

Thanks Mike, That looks like it makes it work with battery % updates regularly. Only thing I see that is not a real issue is on disarm, the % displayed will "flash" between the last read value and 10 points higher. IE 56% for 2 seconds and 65% for 2 seconds and back. *Just checked my logs ...

Now I understand - Sleep does wonders...
Current Source - Fas
User Proto - ArduC

New raw log file attached

Will not hold the logging setting through a power cycle - got it!

I don't have anything set as the "Current source" that I know of.
Not familiar with the "User Proto".

I will have to try again tomorrow afternoon.

Here you go Mike.
It was a one minute flight to get the battery down a bit.
Started out 99% and when disarmed, refreshed to 95%

Sorry to ask, but how do you set the switch?
I do not see anything anywhere to do so.
RAW logging I can enable.
But cannot trigger by switch.
9Xtreme

Sorry, I do not have any coding documentation
And yes, XJT Tx with an X8R Rx

Maybe watch for the signal when the FC disarms?
Something with that sends a signal to refresh about a second later.

The native mavlink is providing the realtime mAh & BatRemaining changes to Mission Planner.
I use that Rs232-to-ttl converter to feed the XJT Telemetry

Would there be an issue of refreshing the battery/ fuel level reading in flight?
I added "BatRemaining" to my Mission Planner GUI and noticed that refreshed continuously.
The battery/ fuel level on the controller only refreshes when you, or auto-disarm takes place.

I see... Well it had me abort that one mission because I was flying my "work horse" craft that videos all of the construction progress with very stable results. I was flying out in a distant open field and didn't want to lose the craft to a severe crash. It is not so much as updating telem...

No no telem..... GREAT!
Sorry to bother...I had it on play BUT is that a default setting for the upgrade?
Because there was no problem before.

I never touched it.
It was on by default to the best of my knowledge.

It is the "flight battery low" that should not respond on loss of telemetry?
I mean it makes sense it would trigger because of the "0" but it is not necessarily true.

Another flight reveals (auto mission with radio failsafe set to continue mission) that when "no telemetry" is called out, "flight battery low" is also called out with C1

This is not the case with B6.
It just calls out "no telemetry".

Finally got a chance to test.
No issues
Even when "receiver signal critical" was called out.

I will investigate further as I get time.

Thanks for the work!

That is just it...the numbers for Alt & Galt only go to 0 during that time. And it is not a solid 0 They will randomly go 0 - individually and together, mixed. But it is only within that time the Tx is calling out "receiver signal critical". Not normal operation or "receiver signa...

Rolled back to B6 - no issues. And, I was looking at the screen when Galt and Alt went to "0" intermittently on the ArduC Telemetry screen. This was when the controller was calling out "Receiver signal critical". So that should mean "no telemetry" and "Flight batte...

The only change was going to b7 and b8 (b8 current)
That is when it started

Yes, FasV and "no telemetry" warnings triggered.

Yes, time out value changed to 4.0

Sorry to say, it still does it.
When I get time, I will roll back to ersky9xProvR221b6.zip 06-Mar-2017 11:30

Thanks! I know I am just one person but I run with loss of throttle failsafe set to "continue with mission" So even a 10 second loss of telemetry doesn't bother me. 9 out of 10 times it comes back into range. The thing that freaked me out was hearing the "low battery" in a new ar...

Only change was upgrading from ersky9xProvR221b6.zip 06-Mar-2017 11:30 to ersky9xProvR221b7.zip 08-Mar-2017 00:14

OK - so yesterday I had the no telemetry and low battery several times yesterday across 3 models. I was on what I call the custom screen 1 where I have FasV, Alt, RTC and Timer set to display. I was looking straight at the screen when the FasV reading disappeared (not 0) and called out No telemetry ...

And now it happened 3 times in one flight bit I did not have it switched over to logging.
All 3 times the battery was at 14.6 and the alarm is still set at 12.9

Couldn't make it happen this time...it knows I am watching it
