Hi all,
First let me say that even though I have flown RC for 38yrs I am a total nube to OTx and beyond basic setup of a model I know nothing about programing the radio, external sensors or LUA scrips. I am however the goto guy in the family for computer problems and have done some computer coding (visual Basic, HTML, CSS etc) so learning to write a LUA script probably wouldn't be too hard. All that being said,
I hope this is the correct forum to post this question since it has to do with programing my Horus X10s with OTx with a X8R receiver.
I am putting together a Freewing A-10 Warthog EDF with two motors, 2 ESC's and 2 6s batteries. Each 6s battery is connected to one ESC and motor.
I want to use two FrSky SP-FLVS - Smart Port Lipo Voltage Sensors (one for each battery) to give me individual cell voltage and total pack voltage readings of each battery on my radio. I would also like the radio to alert me when any individual cell in a pack goes below 70% discharge and again at 80% so that I can land without stressing the batteries.
If only total pack voltage can be displayed for each pack on the main screen, I would be okay with that as long as the radio will still announce that my pack are 70% depleted and again at 80%. It would be nice of course to see individual cell voltage on another screen if that is possible?
So my first question is how do I wire the TWO FrSky SP-FLVS - Smart Port Lipo Voltage Sensors into my smart port so that the radio sees both 6s batteries independently and all 12 cells.
Second question, how do I set this up in the Horus x10s to display the voltages and alerts? Is the programing already there or do I need a LUA script?
Thanks a bunch!
Regards,
Tom

Re: FrSky SP-FLVS - Smart Port Lipo Voltage Sensors on OTx
To use two SP-FLVS sensors, you need to change the physical ID of one of them.
