Re: Cant use X7 as a joystick in the companion simulator

After you check the box you need to download that firmware and flash it to the transmitter.
Did you do that?

Re: Save telemetry simulator settings

I don't believe you can save one from within the simulator, I could be wrong. However,If you logged a flight you can load and replay it. From the LOGS, or anywhere else. Since Log files are easy to read, edit and save in OpenOffice, or Microsoft Office or similar spreadsheet programs, you could make...

Re: No throttle

Two viable candidates are
Bad calibration of throttle channel
and
Maybe you gave a throttle cut set on a new model.

The easiest way to get help is probably to post your .otx so someone can see if there is a setup error.

Re: LUA script question

I did try it. There has to be a buffer or stack to queue up the sounds to be played. If you overflow it you will lose some of the queued files. But the buffer/stack will still be played for whatever is in the queue. Since it takes much longer the 30+- MILLISECONDS to play the sound file, the sounds ...

Re: LUA script question

I think you are dropping in a new playFile every approximately 30 milliseconds. Much faster than the .wav can play. Change the 900 playFile to a print statement and watch the debug output in the simulator full up with printed output. I'm sure you know that the elev goes from -1024 to +1024. I would ...

Re: Mixing elevator to left and right aileron

|x|is the absolute value of the source, Ail.
So basically no matter which way you move ail, you get a positive value.
It acts likes a 'curve' of 3 values, y = +100, 0, +100.

Even if you want to do all programming on your Tx, using Companion with its simulator to see if what you think needs to be done has the correct effect is easier for many.

Re: OpenTx memory value special function

The replace Mix line takes 100% of the channel that is controlled by the throttle stick at the TIME you put SWy up.
So that channel is held at the value until you put the switch down.
Then the channel will jump to where the stick is presently positioned.

Re: Radio and model duplication help!

First you do not have to upgrade if both transmitters are on the same firmware. Companion for 2.1.x is available at https://www.open-tx.org/2016/09/15/opentx-2.1.9 But if one tx is old and one is new, they may not be on the same firmware. You must confirm that they are both at the same level of firm...

The first thing to get in your mind is that the transmitters calibration data is stored in the .otx file that contains all the models on each transmitter.

You can not duplicate all settings if you include Calibration as a 'setting'. It is not possible for 1 transmitter(tx) to be a duplicate of another in that the RF modules, which are not part of OpenTx, have distinct ids that make them unique. So to switch from one tx to control a model the other tx ...
