Re: Taranis Telemetry Voltage Inconsistent

I realize that I'm asking a lot of questions, and I thank you all for your patience, but I want to make sure I understand what I'm doing so when the group of people I fly with ask me the same questions, I'll know the answers. Besides that, I'm of the mindset that there is more than one way to do thi...

Yep, that would get annoying very quickly.

Re: Taranis Telemetry Voltage Inconsistent

This is all very useful information. It's certainly not the answer I had expected, but I can work with it. Would it make sense to use the voltage used at half throttle instead of full throttle since most planes can fly comfortably at half throttle? If we run at full throttle for a while, the low vol...

Re: Taranis Telemetry Voltage Inconsistent

It seems that no matter what we use (voltage, consumption), we need to be aware of many external factors (weather, throttle use, motor, to name a few). I guess I still don't understand why mAh consumption wouldn't be 100% accurate since it is tracking how much is being consumed, which will only go u...

Re: Taranis Telemetry Voltage Inconsistent

Thanks for your reply. The battery is a 2200 man 3S 30C. The ESC is a 60A turnigy plush. How can anyone reliably set a low battery warning if the voltage fluctuates so much based on throttle? How did you come up with 9.6V as the point where if you land, you will have a resting voltage of 11.1V? I ap...

Taranis Telemetry Voltage Inconsistent

I hesitate to write this because it's very possible that I'm looking at the wrong values or that I have something setup incorrectly. I've played with this for a while now, but I still don't understand where the problem is, so I thought I'd spend no more time on it and ask for some assistance. I have...

Re: Taranis and DSM2 mods

Just thought I'd ask because it's an easy thing to forget. Did you remove the bind plug? Keeping it in will force rebind every time.

Re: T9X mod to use Flysky module, Frysky module and DSMX mod

It worked!!! The module from my DX4e was wired up as an external DSM2/DSMX module and I was able to bind to a DSM2 RX from my Taranis.

Thanks to all for this thread and to EjectSteve for the parts list, the picture, and wiring diagram on post #170.

Re: T9X mod to use Flysky module, Frysky module and DSMX mod

Thanks for the info about your D4R-II setup. I managed to get it working last night with the vario. I used one of the cables that came with the vario to get power from channel 2 on the RX and plugged it into the IN port of the vario. I also experimented with the fbvs sensor and plugged it into the A...

D4R-II Battery Voltage

I'm hoping someone can help. I've been searching for some good information on how to setup my FrSky D4R-II with an FVAS-02H and an SP-FLVS. So far, what I've done is modify the provided cables from the D4R-II package to connect from the RX to the Vario (FVAS-02H) out port. I connected the cable that...

Re: T9X mod to use Flysky module, Frysky module and DSMX mod

I can tune up models with Flysky rx or DSMX rx by throwing on a D4R-II for telemetry data. ;) I recently purchased a D4R-II, but I don't understand how to set it up for telemetry. I'm using CPPM, jumpered channels 3 and 4. I have modified the mini jst cable from the RX to the Vario. It looks like I...

Re: T9X mod to use Flysky module, Frysky module and DSMX mod

Since you have a DX4e. I would say do the dx4e mod so you have all the best of DSMX/2, it would be a genuine DSMX and full range. and you still can use orange rx or spectrum rx instead of the 'cloned' orange one. You probably won't sell the dx4e for much. I spent 40.00 to get a new dx4e on ebay to ...

Re: T9X mod to use Flysky module, Frysky module and DSMX mod

Yes, the Orange module works fine simply plugged into Taranis. The drawbacks of going this way, compared to using the module from a DX4 or DX5 are: 1. The Orange module has an awkward antenna setup that sticks out the back. 2. The Orange module doesn't give Model Match or automatic shifting from on...

Re: T9X mod to use Flysky module, Frysky module and DSMX mod

I've read through most of this thread and have a question. If I buy an Orange external module, will that give me the ability to fly my MCPX with my Taranis? I have a DX4e and I have a DM9 module shell. I'm just thinking that if both the custom module build and the Orange are going to give me the sam...

Re: Taranis and DSM2 mods

I've been trying to find information on how to take a DM9 module shell and put a Spektrum DX4e DSMX module in it, giving me a functional external DSM2/DSMX module for my Taranis to bind with my MCPX. Is this possible? I found some sites that show how to use a DX4e or DX5 module with an existing exte...
