Select Multipos Switch on the hardware page for the pot you replaced, then do a calibration as usual.

Guys can we have an averaging function for a1 & a2 analog voltage reporting with tunable parameters in the telemetry display?
Although I use a function to report main pack voltage below a threshold only if throttle is halfway stick range or less, voltage spikes still trigger the alarm, the same apply for the servo pack.

(disregard ripping off the landing gear)

On A1& A2 ports i use the standard frsky volrage reducer circuit with the standard capacitor across measured voltage to smoothen the voltage measurement/ripples.
the voltage reducer sensors are grounded straight to the rx from the battery (see schematic in connection circuit link below)

I'm under the impression that 2.0 has a place for notes for each model. I'm unable to find this. If it's there probably in clear sight and I'm overlooking it.

Clicking on Compare Models in OpenTXCompanion is giving me a window flash and disappear.

This one will be fixed in next nightly builds

You need to create a text file [modelname].txt in the MODELS directory.

Side note: I allowed some special chars to be displayed like \up or \dn for the switches positions.

The compare models now works however the "Expo/Dr Settings" doesn't represent the new "Inputs" very well. Probably a change for a later time.

Has this been addressed?

I am not clear how to make or use Notes.

What about an averaging function in telemetry outputs with adjustable sensitivity (for each output?

Got it, you posted it enough times already ;)
Might have to wait for the telemetry rework. Currently each telemetry value is completely independent (i.e. would need separate implementations). The new system will be common for all and will make that kind of things much easier.

Not trying to be pushy or repetitive and I appreciate you guys have a day job and personal life etc. but I was trying to get through and perhaps if the other developers agree that this is useful, basically not just implement RSSI averaging but expand this to other telemetry measurements. I was hoping this could be added either before (doubtful) but more than happy if this is added with 2.0 release.....? (or at least provisioned in the model data structure so that we don't have to have model data structure changes again etc....)

It will likely only come with the next model data structure change AFTER 2.0 that will be needed for the new telemetry system.

I saw that.

I was hoping for a Function to cause a note to be displayed.
I can view the note by going to Menu Long, Look at SD in models, and do a perform View Text.
Is this the only way to have text on the screen.?
I.e., How are Notes intended to be used?

Is including support for the now released Haptic module planned for release 2.0?

There's a "View Notes" entry in the ENTER LONG menu on the main views.
There's one on the MENU LONG popup menu in all model edit windows.
There's a "Display Checklist" checkbox in model setup to have them show when loading the model.

Not sure. We haven't received upgrades yet for testing, and we really want to push 2.0 out ASAP now and not have to postpone it yet again. So it might have to wait until next minor release along with the rest of Taranis+ support.

Just configure PC12 as an output, then HapticOn sets it and HapticOff clears it. Works fine on ersky9x for Taranis. I've wired a prototype haptic to my pre-production Tx.

But it's... kinda crude.

We'll enable the usual haptic functions, but needs changes to reactivate all menu items.

PC12 doesn't have any timer available to provide PWM, so it has to be rather crude.
Options are:
Just on and off
Create a software driven PWM.
Use the SPI interface and send continuous bytes that provide a form of pwm.

Just ON and Off gets it working.

The plus uses a pin with a timer so for that, we can do to 'properly'.

I mean on/off via CFs being crude in terms of functionality compared to having full support with several available beep patterns and support for system alarms.
I wasn't talking of doing smooth start/stop, no point in that IMO.

I thought it was a matter of defining HAPTIC, to get the menus and patterns, then just adding the HapticOn and HapticOff (and HapticInit) at the driver level.

There was some cleanup to do, but it should now be working in the TaranisPlus branch. The driver has room already made to put PWM-based driving in as well.

I'm not sure when the Insert option was added to the firmware for special functions -- but it's awesome. Would be really great to have the same option in Companion. ;-)

I started from scratch today with a new EEPE file using 4/23 firmware and Companion. I'm not getting a change of rate when setting rates in the Input tab.

You used the raw stick in the mixer, not the input.

Thank you. Actually, this makes more sense and what I ended up doing. Since it was a change (that I'd not previously noticed) I thought I should check.

Question: Can you explain how sub-trim differs from PPM Center and what the difference is when Linear subtrim is used vs. not using it. Sorry to be dense - but I'm really not understanding the finer points on this screen.

I'm thinking some more about the Input window.

I see Input weight works, Switch turns in input on or off. But I can't see that putting multiple lines per input has any mixing effect. Is there a reason that multiple lines per input are allowed? Is there suppose to be an effect of having multiple lines?

Inputs are like the D/Rs before them, multiple lines but only the first one that has its switch on is active. It's one OR the other, no mixing.

About the servos page: PPM center shifts the whole output including limits, linear subtrim moves center keeping movement amplitude symmetric (clips movement if limit is hit), "normal" subtrim moves center without clipping but causing assymetry.

In the menu "Inputs" it is possible to associate a "Switch" to an input line.
When switch is ON, the parameters (weigth, curve, ...) are taken into account. This is OK.
I noticed that when the switch goes from ON to OFF, the last calculated "input" value is kept and is still apply e.g. in a mixer.

Question : would it not be more logical to set the "input" value back to zero instead of keeping the last value?

Note : the test has been made using the simulator and not the Tx.
