Check the location of the GPS relative to the receiver antennas.

Boomerwing and Phillipp, thank you both. You help is much appreciated.

I was hoping someone would be willing to create icons for the Graupner Cirrus below. It's hard to even find usable images of a 40 year old model.
Thanks in advance.

I have a Taranis with the latest Amber sound pack that I know of.

Another question. Prior to migrating to V2.03 I had my vario read out in metric units. It worked fine. When I set up Companion on V2.03 I chose Imperial units for a change. Now Rate-of-climb is announced in meters/second and altitude in feet. The Taranis was delivered at the end of December and the ...

I converted to 2.03 from 1.52 and now get a strange audio warning "Mix Warning 1". I looked at the mixes, which seem OK. The model behaves exactly as I would expect. Can anyone tell me what I'm being warned about?

Hi would love to try that code - am hoping to get GPS data from the Naza GPS and and inject via openxsensor. I need to make a small correction to lat/long to make the code work properly on the other side of the world. I also need to check to make sure I have the 0x7E/0x7D conversion that mstrens me...

Use an S.bus to PPM converter on your receiver, and it will work.

Bruneaux, where are you getting airspeed values in telemetry? Are you substituting the data from an airspeed sensor for A2 or something of that nature? I'm interested in adding an airspeed sensor to my Sport adapter.

The Lat-Long problem was easy to sort out. The GPS works beautifully now. The code I used is available for anyone who wants it. I'm thinking of adding an airspeed sensor now. The problem is a lack of an SPort definition for airspeed. Does anyone know what FrSky is going to use on the yet to be relea...

Bruneaux can I see your code for the airspeed sensor? In particular I like to see the Sport codes you are using.

Thanks,
Rger

I got the EagleTree GPS to SPort converter working. It will actually work with any NMEA compatible GPS. It only took a week or so, and that included learning how to program in C++. Of course I didn't have to figure out how to get the data out of the GPS or into the SPort. That work was done by Lady ...

I settled on a combination of software. I use Adafruit's GPS software combined with Mavlink_FrSkySPort software for SPort access. I'm getting data on the Taranis, but it isn't all correct. Lat and Long degrees are correct, but minutes aren't. I should have it all working properly in a few days. Roger

The FrSky GPS has a number of reported problems. I'm sure they will fix them, but for now they are not the best option. A number of people have GPS units already. Why not use them? I understand the issues with the Arduino boards having only 1 hardware serial port. I decided to bite the bullet and bu...

I'm gathering the code to try and build an sport interface for existing GPS devices. I have an EagleTree V3 GPS that I have running with my Arduino and some basic code from Adafruit. Now I have to try and understand all the code everyone has written for the oXs project in hopes of putting together a...

Thanks, For the offer. Your code would be a big help.

Thanks, that would be very helpful.

What is the chance of being able to port existing GPS to Open architecture using Sbus? I have a a perfectly good EagleTree V3 GPS that I'd love to use with my Taranis. I suppose the Sbus-UART module would allow the data to be transmitted, but it's no use without supporting software. Is anyone intere...
