Thanks. I am running my old Corona V1 module in PPM mode and comparing it to the output from the Multi module. Pascal is assisting me in defining the Corona V1 protocol. The Multiprotocol module has so many protocols and on my Taranis I see where I can enter values on many protocols. I am not sure w...

Yes, most of them seem to be using ersky9x.
Opentx is able to read all the Multimodule protocals and display them as options
so I assume someone on the opentx side knows the meaning of the options??

I hope this is a good place for these questions. I am running a Taranis X9D Opentx-x9d 2.2.0 (85863358) I am using a Banggood Multiprotocol Module (stm32). I am working to add the Corona V1 receivers to the Module. When I select protocol PPM I see two timing numbers. The first is the PPM stream cycl...

I have a question about multiple radios, profiles and sharing models through Companion. I assist others with their Taranis radios. We Have a small group consisting of five radios. Four of them are Taranis X9D's , a new one is a X9D Plus. All the radios stay reasonably up to date and are running Open...

Thank you dinamich, I will try using them that way.

Where can I find documentation for the definition and usage of the LUAxx as MIX SOURCES? When I ADD a mix I see the LUAxx available as a SOURCE but I have not found documentation on what they are and how to use them. I am new to LUA scripts. I would like to output a value from a LUA script and use i...

I also notice that the eepe and hex files are the same size.
Are they identical files?(are they both hexadecimal formats?)
The bin file is less than half the size of the other two.
Interesting.

I am running 2.0.6 on a FrSky Taranis and Companion 2.0.6 I notice that when I save my models and settings in Companion a .eepe file is written. (the options are .eepe .bin and .hex) When I back up my models and settings on my Taranis a .bin file is written. Companion seems to work with any one of t...

Thanks for the info.
The forum people might want to think of adding the name Companion to the donation page.

I would like to make two donations, one for OpenTX Firmware and one for Companion.
From the donations tab I see how to make one to OpenTX.
Would a part of this donation make its way to Companion or
is there a more direct way to donate to the Companion work?

"who cares"
I guess I care. If I have a SWR of 75 it means one thing to me (get out of the sky).
If I have a RSSI of 75 it has a very different meaning (I am a happy pilot).

I find it interesting that in the Taranis manual from www.frsky.com they show a screen image in the telemetry section with a SWR of 75. I would love to know what antenna is being used to get this reading. Seems pretty high to me. This image shows up twice in that manual around page 3 and 17 (the pag...

Thanks for the explanation. I now have a much better understanding of this.

Yes, if the transmitter signal dies the receiver will take over in a predefined failsafe mode (if it is a failsafe type receiver). I may be misunderstanding something that happened to me with a previous version of the software. I had a model setup to enable a trainer via a switch. I plugged in the m...

I recently updated my Taranis / Companion to 2.0.1
I have noticed that Failsafe Position is no longer offered for external modules.
What is the thinking behind removing this feature?

I knew it would be something simple (read the screen).
Thanks Kilrah

I have updated my Taranis to Ver 2.0.1 6/6/14 I am using Open TX Companion Ver 2.0.1 6/5/13 Companion does not "read models and settings" from the radio?? When I try it a window tells me to hold the lower trims in and power on the radio and then plug in the USB. The Taranis screen now show...

Thanks everyone for all the good input. My original concern had to do with interference due to the two 2.4ghz antennas being so close together. No one seems to have had much of a problem with interference. I will try it out with some long range testing.

I set my Taranus up to use the internal FrSky module and an external Spektrum module at the same time. I sent channels 1-8 to one and 9-16 to the other. Everything seems to work fine. I pointed the antennas 90 deg from each other hoping this might reduce interference. I have not done any type of ran...

Kilrah, Thanks so much. Everything is working now. For clarity of other people reading this post the connections are as follows. The port used on the FAS-100 is the three pin GND/RX/TX port. The port on the Vario is the four pin Data in port. The GND and TX pins (first and last) of the FAS-100 go to...

Yes. I have looked them over very closely. The FAS-100 comes with the two pin connector and wire for Din / Dout (black / yellow). The Vario comes with four pin connectors showing where black and yellow are connected (there is also a brown and red wire). If they used the same colors / locations betwe...

Thanks for the quick response Kilrah I just tried that and I was unable to see current or voltage on the telemetry. I also have a FAS-40. With it connected via the smart port everything works fine. I remove the FAS-40 and connect the FAS-100 through the Dout / Din as defined above and I do not see c...

OK. I have a X8R receiver, FVAS-02H Vario and a FAS-100 Current monitor. As I understand it I should be able to plug the Dout from the FAS-100 into the Din of the Vario and the smart port of the Vario into the smart port of the X8R. Problem is that the Dout of the FAS-100 is a two pin connector (bla...

Thanks for the replies.
Is it true that the ones that can be daisy chained will have both a din and a dout and
the ones that need the hub will only have a dout?

I have seen that old hub data port sensors can be connected through the vario to be used with the x receivers.
My question is can multiple data port sensors be daisy chained (din to dout to din to dout to vario din) through the vario
to interface with the x receivers?

I have a Taranis x9d running r2940 and companion9x in Windows 7. I am trying to create a custom switch to monitor the transmitter battery so that I can have a special announcement reported if the battery drops below a special value. ( I realize that the transmitter also checks this voltage. ) In Cus...

I am logging altitude from a high precision vario. I have my transmitter set to Imperial and my displays and audio outputs are in feet. When I log the outputs the altitude comes out in meters. Is there another option I need to set to make the logger report in feet? Taranis radio opentx-r2923, x8r re...

I am new to the Taranis. Just got my radio last week. I am using the x8r receiver. I see connections for both sbus and smart port on the receiver. As I understand it smart port is for the newer sensors and sbus is for the older sensors. My question is can I have sensors on both types connected at th...

Sorry dvogonen I have not checked these messages for some time. I did revert back to 4.7 and everything is working for me. I believe I did get a good compile with 4.8. I would go back and check it but I am happy with using 4.7 and like I said I am new to the Linux side of this. "If it is not br...

Thanks all once again.
I loaded the libraries and was able to make for Taranis.
I still have to revert to the 4.7, but I don't expect any problems there.
It is certainly helpful to have these forums.
Thanks again
